digital<\/a> and physical inspections to help wholesale auto lenders strengthen risk management<\/p>\nThrough this partnership, lenders can now seamlessly access both the SBS Digital Audit platform and AiM\u2019s network of over 120 full-time field auditors within a single, integrated solution. For over two decades, AiM has provided trusted in-person floorplan audits, evaluating more than $26 billion in inventory portfolios each month. Now, lenders can adopt a flexible hybrid model that brings together secure digital self-audits and physical inspections, enabling them to expand audit coverage, optimise resource deployment, and make faster, more informed decisions.<\/p>\n
The SBS Financing Platform\u2019s Digital Audit leverages secure imaging, live video streaming, and NFC technology in connected and offline environments, delivering real-time, verifiable inventory data. By increasing audit frequency through digital channels, lenders can deploy AiM\u2019s physical auditors where they add the greatest value, strengthening asset protection while reducing audit costs by up to 50% and audit time by up to 40%.<\/p>\n
Eric Widmer, SVP Sales and Marketing at AiM,<\/strong> said, \u201cPhysical audits have long been the backbone of asset finance, with AiM conducting over 800 floorplan audits for hundreds of thousands of vehicles every month. As the industry explores how best to integrate digital audits, our partnership with SBS provides a flexible, future-ready solution that empowers lenders to harness the strengths of both approaches.\u201d<\/p>\nJames Powell, Chief SaaS Transformation Officer and Head of Specialised Finance Strategy at SBS,<\/strong> said, \u201cLenders are increasingly turning to hybrid audit models to protect funded assets and adapt to a more digital future. By uniting SBS\u2019s secure technology with AiM\u2019s extensive network of experienced auditors, we\u2019re giving lenders the confidence and control to modernise risk management and evolve at their own pace.\u201d<\/p>\nThe hybrid audit solution is a key part of the SBS Financing Platform, which also provides wholesale servicing and portfolio management tools trusted by lenders nationwide. Together, SBS and AiM remain committed to driving innovation that meets the evolving needs of wholesale lenders and supports the industry\u2019s shift toward scalable, digital-first operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35851,"featured_media":568880,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[11395,11381,11383,29445,11375,11376,42764,11379,35279,11384,11372],"tags":[12663,50256,11868,11668,12004,11438,11515,23667,11416],"class_list":["post-568879","ibsi_news","type-ibsi_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analytics","category-artificial-intelligence","category-big-data","category-cards-management","category-cybersecurity","category-digital-banking","category-digital-payments","category-lending","category-loans","category-payments","category-risktech","tag-ai","tag-alliance-inspection-management","tag-america","tag-cross-border-payments","tag-digital-lending","tag-digital-payments","tag-fintech","tag-sbs","tag-usa"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
