World’s first online lending platform for the $100B+ maritime industry

On a mission to help MARLO digitize a process that was up until the founding of this company a very hands on & manual process, BuildingBlocks Consulting helped develop an algorithm that took a traditionally 70% manual / 30% automated process to a 30% manual / 70% automated one.

After working with the founding team, BuildingBlocks Consulting learned what criteria lenders looked for to deem credit-worthiness and developed a proprietary credit rating system.

BuildingBlocks Consulting team worked day in and day out with the founders for over 6 months roadmapping, developing and launching an MVP solution. Our product managers & architects were hands on as the team developed / launched their MVP solution and built an offshore development team and product managers.

• Strategically developed a product roadmap & MVP solution that worked with MARLO’s early-stage budgets
• Developed engineering infrastructure in terms of an offshore development team that could ramp up & ramp down during product sprints
• Built data intelligence to evaluate credit risk in shipping
• Create a sector for lenders to identify excellent opportunities with credit-worth “”MARLO-underwritten”” borrowers
• Streamline the underwriting process using an algorithmic approach that speeds up the process for funding a loan
