Enhanced Insights and Data-Driven Decision Making for Center Street Lending

challenge

Siloed Data Preventing Visibility into Key Metrics

Center Street Lending (CSL) provides smarter loans for residential real estate investors in 42 states. Their internal teams relied on visualizations to make data-driven decisions within their loan programs, but their data sources were fragmented and not automated. Each system was tied to a specific team, leading to information silos that hindered collaboration. As a result, sometimes team members struggled to present the most relevant data during meetings, making stakeholder buy-in more difficult.

Additionally, executives had to rely on manual processes to gather data and create visualizations, consuming valuable time and leaving the CEO without easy access to actionable insights. To overcome these challenges, our client needed a partner to establish a single source of truth for streamlined communication between stakeholders and teams while improving the accuracy and accessibility of key organizational metrics and KPIs.

Key Outcomes

25-30 manual hours of work

saved every week for CSL's executive team

solution

Centralized Data Warehouse

To create the most relevant data visualizations, our team began by gaining a deeper understanding of our client’s needs. We analyzed user stories to grasp the extent of manual work involved and identified the business questions they aimed to answer. This approach helped us clearly define what they wanted to communicate and achieve with their data.

Next, we consolidated and transformed their fragmented data sources into a centralized, secure, and scalable data warehouse. Using insights from user stories and existing reports, we built a robust central data reporting environment.

To enhance flexibility and efficiency, we implemented light data modeling, making commonly used entities and activities more modular, consistent, and extensible. This approach allowed our client to maintain agility without prematurely committing to a rigid enterprise data model, ensuring their data infrastructure was both practical and future-ready.

Additionally, the streamlined processes significantly reduced the need for meetings and manual work, saving our client 25–30 hours of labor each week.
