Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The vehicle purchasing process is complex and time-consuming, particularly in the financing stage, where manual review of loan approvals leads to errors, customer dissatisfaction, and potential revenue loss for dealerships.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent lender selection system that uses machine learning algorithms to analyze historical loan data, extract relevant parameters, and predict optimal loan terms, thereby automating the lender selection process and maximizing profit and customer acceptance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual review of loan approvals is performed by F&I division managers, then loan parameters can be reviewed and selected, but the process is time-consuming (30-45 minutes) and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical review process with an automated machine learning system. The ML model automatically analyzes loan approval packages, extracts relevant parameters, predicts optimal loan terms, and selects lenders, eliminating the need for manual inspection while improving both speed and consistency of decision-making
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service automation where the ML model independently performs the entire lender selection process without human intervention. The model autonomously processes loan applications, compares lenders, predicts outcomes, and makes selections, allowing the F&I division to operate without continuous manual oversight for this specific function
2Reliability
If manual review of loan approvals is performed, then loan parameters can be determined, but productivity is reduced and revenue is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The manual mechanical process of reviewing and determining loan parameters is replaced with an automated computational system. The ML model processes loan approval packages, extracts parameters, predicts optimal terms, and determines lender selections automatically, dramatically increasing productivity while maintaining determination accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing loan approval packages, extracting relevant parameters, and predicting optimal loan terms before the final lender selection is made. This advance preparation and automated analysis significantly accelerates the overall productivity of the lender selection process
3Ease of operation
If manual lender selection process is used, then human judgment can be applied, but customer retention decreases due to long waiting times
Solution Approach 1:
The manual human judgment process is replaced with an automated ML system that makes lender selections instantly. The model analyzes loan approval packages and predicts optimal lenders without requiring human review, reducing customer waiting time from 30-45 minutes to near-instantaneous processing while maintaining selection quality through sophisticated algorithms

AI summary
Methods for intelligent lender selection is provided. A loan application acceptance package is received from each of a plurality of lending entities for a loan application. Loan variables including a buy lending rate and a margin are extracted from the loan application acceptance package. A target margin is predicted based on the buy lending rate and the margin for each or the plurality of lending entities and a customer profile of a customer associated with the loan application. A lending entity from the plurality of lending entities is selected based on the target margin.
