St. Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2017 -- Loan origination software company, Financial Network, Inc. (FNI), has announced the launch of a new loan origination software platform with long time partner, Tidewater Finance Company (TFC). FNI and TFC have worked together as partners for more than seventeen years. The relationship began with FNI handling scorecards within their decision engine while TFC utilized a custom loan origination software platform (LOS). Their relationship grew significantly over the years, as both FNI and TFC grew their businesses.

After TFC's LOS platform was no longer supported, FNI was given the opportunity to rebuild the LOS platform. TFC's unique business model in both retail and automotive business made FNI the perfect fit to rebuild a semi-custom platform. The companies collaborated extensively to ensure each component gave TFC all the tools they need to do their jobs with the functionality, efficiency, and timeliness that are necessary to keep them competitive in their industry.
