Funding packets typically include multiple supporting documents (applications, bank statements, financial statements, tax returns, and approval letters), often scattered across emails or portals.
When these arrive separately or inconsistently labeled, teams waste valuable time combining them into a single packet for underwriting or funding.
Heron automates bundling for funding packets, consolidating all relevant files, data, and correspondence into one structured record.
Instead of staff manually downloading, renaming, and attaching documents, Heron’s AI-driven intake system groups everything automatically by merchant, deal ID, or submission metadata. The result is a complete, auditable packet ready for review, without the friction of human coordination.
Use Cases
- Combine multi-source submissions: Heron gathers attachments from multiple emails, portal uploads, or partner systems and merges them into a unified funding packet.
- Organize mixed file types: Bank statements, applications, decision emails, and tax forms are bundled under one deal automatically.
- Attach supplemental correspondence: Related messages, such as funding confirmations or stip responses, are added to the same packet.
- Standardize folder structure: Each bundle is named consistently by merchant, program, and submission date.
- Rebundle corrections: When a broker resubmits missing items, Heron adds them to the original packet without duplication.
- Auto-tag completeness: Each bundled packet carries a readiness score based on included document types and page counts.
Operational Impact
Bundling automation provides structure and reliability at the earliest stage of the funding process.
- Speed: Eliminates manual collection and assembly of packet components.
- Accuracy: Prevents duplicate or missing document inclusion.
- Scalability: Handles hundreds of active deals simultaneously.
- Traceability: Maintains clear lineage between emails, attachments, and deal IDs.
- Team coordination: Everyone works off the same, up-to-date version of each funding packet.
Heron’s bundling logic creates a single source of truth for every deal, reducing time-to-fund while improving collaboration.
Automation and Data Logic
Heron’s bundling engine applies document intelligence and contextual matching to unify packets.
- Metadata matching: The system matches incoming files based on merchant name, submission ID, and ISO sender domain.
- Cross-thread linking: Related attachments from different email threads or upload sessions are merged automatically.
- Document type detection: Each file is classified before bundling to maintain structure.
- Integrity checks: The bundle is validated for completeness and duplication before marking “ready.”
- Continuous enrichment: If new files arrive after bundling, Heron updates the existing packet rather than creating duplicates.
- CRM synchronization: Bundled packets sync directly to CRM records, tagged with date and readiness status.
This logic guarantees each funding packet is fully compiled and audit-ready before it moves downstream.
Collaboration and Workflow Integration
Bundling touches every stage of Heron’s intake-to-decision pipeline.
- Intake: Files enter through shared mailboxes or portals.
- Classification: Each document type is recognized and labeled.
- Bundling: Related items are grouped under the correct merchant or deal.
- Validation: The packet is scored for completeness.
- Write-back: Status updates and metadata are pushed to the CRM.
- Handoff: The completed packet routes automatically to underwriting or funding.
This orchestration means every stakeholder (broker, funder, and underwriter) sees the same organized data in real time.
Business Outcomes
- 70–90% reduction in manual packet assembly: Staff no longer spend hours organizing scattered files.
- Faster underwriting readiness: Bundled packets reach reviewers up to 5× faster.
- Fewer duplicate records: Unified grouping prevents confusion between versions.
- Improved broker experience: Automated confirmation of packet completeness builds trust.
- Lower operational costs: Less manual handling means fewer errors and faster turnaround.
Bundling transforms fragmented submissions into a seamless flow from intake to funding.

FAQs About Bundle for Funding Packets
How does Heron decide which documents belong in a bundle?
Heron matches documents using metadata like merchant name, submission ID, and sender address. It cross-references these across emails and uploads to create unified funding packets automatically.
What happens if a new document arrives after bundling?
Heron detects and attaches late submissions or corrected files to the existing packet, maintaining a single, current version without duplicates.
Can Heron handle partial or incomplete packets?
Yes. Heron flags incomplete bundles, generates a missing-info request automatically, and updates readiness status once required documents arrive.
How is bundling different from classification?
Classification identifies each document type, while bundling groups all related documents for a deal together in one structured packet.
Does Heron integrate bundled packets into CRMs or deal systems?
Absolutely. Bundled packets are synced directly to the CRM with clean metadata, statuses, and document references for complete visibility.
