Today, we’re excited to share one of the technological innovations we’ve developed to help us do just that: our **proprietary credit scoring platform**, designed and built entirely by our technology and data teams.

## **🔍 ****What is it, and why does it matter?**

When a company purchases food through our platform, it often needs financing. To make that possible in a responsible way, we assess whether that client is financially reliable. This is known as **credit risk assessment**.

At Loads, we’ve developed our own technology to automate and enhance this process, helping our risk team make more informed and accurate decisions. This is essential to our operations, as **financing is one of the key pillars of our value proposition**.

 

## **🧠 ****How does it work?**

Our platform draws from **data sources across more than 10 markets and 20 product types**, enriched with internal information generated through our own operations. All of this is organized in our **Data Lake**, a massive digital library where we store everything we learn as a company.

From there, our **proprietary algorithm** kicks in. It evaluates **20 different dimensions** for each customer and financing request. Some of these dimensions include:

- Historical payment behavior
- Destination country
- Type of product
- Requested advance amount
- Transaction volume and frequency

 

 

## **🧪 Heuristics + Machine Learning**

The foundation of our system relies on **heuristic algorithms**, rules and formulas we’ve crafted based on experience and data analysis. On top of that, we’ve already integrated **machine learning evaluations**, a type of AI that learns to detect complex patterns in data.

This combination allows us to better anticipate risk and make faster, smarter decisions. Looking ahead, we’re actively researching **new AI models** to continue advancing our predictive capabilities.

 

## **✅** **What do we gain?**

With this platform, our risk team can evaluate more clients in less time, with greater depth and accuracy. This **reduces the risk of defaults and strengthens our financing operations**, allowing us to scale with confidence and security.

And because this technology was **developed entirely in-house**, we can continuously improve and adapt it to the specific needs of our markets and customers.

## **🌍 ****In Summary**

This project is yet another example of how, at Loads, we don’t use technology for its own sake, we use it as a **tool to fulfill our mission**: making food more accessible on a global scale.

And for that, every line of code matters.
