Trusted by 200+ funders, brokers, and fintechs.
Powering underwriting for MCA, revenue-based financing, term loans, lines of credit, and SBA deals.
The first accurate quote wins
A submission sits in the inbox while it gets keyed, checked, and re-keyed. By the time the quote goes out, a faster market has already answered.

Keying kills the clock

Submissions, supplementals and loss runs retyped into the PAS before an underwriter can even look.

Appetite checked too late

Out-of-appetite submissions get worked for hours before anyone declines them.

Volume outpaces staffing

Submission counts grow faster than underwriting teams. The overflow queues, then leaks to faster markets.
Forward the email. That’s the integration.
No new portal for your team, and nothing changes for the brokers and agents sending you submissions.

We wanted to remove the repetitive, manual tasks from our underwriting process so our underwriters could spend more time doing what they do best – underwriting risks rather than entering data.

Take in any broker’s format
Heron reads the submission in whatever form it lands, from a software-house export to an ACORD to a scanned supplemental, and returns structured, underwriter-ready risk data. Your underwriters stop keying and start pricing, and the broker gets an answer back sooner.

Any format

ACORD, spreadsheet, scan or software-house export. Whatever the broker already has is what Heron takes.

No new software

Nothing new to log into on either side. The broker keeps sending email, and your underwriter keeps working in the system they already use.

Quoted sooner

Underwriters spend the time pricing risk instead of entering data, so the broker hears back while the risk is still live.

No filing cabinet necessary
A submission lands as a stack of files with names that mean nothing. Heron tells an ACORD from a loss run from an SOV, splits combined PDFs, and files each one where your team expects it.
One file, three documents
An ACORD, a supplemental and a loss run arriving in a single PDF split into three records, each read on its own terms.
You set the list
The document types match how your team already files. Anything Heron cannot place comes back as unclassified, never as a guess.
Corrections stick
Change a file’s type in the dashboard and it re-reads on the spot. Heron learns the correction for the next submission.
