Executive Summary: AI Credit Scoring Integration at a Glance
Goal: Enable new dealerships to integrate AI credit scoring and Fraud Detection into their workflow, achieving near-instant approvals and minimizing manual workload and fraud risk.
1. Prerequisites & Eligibility
Before starting the integration and onboarding process, ensure the following criteria are met:
- Active Dealer Status: Must be a licensed new or used car dealer with a valid SSM ID (for Malaysia) or ACRA registration (for Singapore).
- Director Mobile Verification: Director’s mobile number must match official records for WhatsApp OTP authentication.
- Document Readiness: Prepare all required documents, including dealer ACRA/SSM, director NRIC/MyKad, signed sales agreements, bank statements, and company stamp/signature files.
- Digital Access: Ensure capability to receive WhatsApp messages and access Xport online portal.
2. Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Register Your Dealership on Xport
Objective: Establish a secure, authenticated dealer account for digital submission. Action:
- Visit the registration URL (Xport official platform).
- Enter SSM/ACRA ID and director’s mobile number for WhatsApp OTP authentication.
- Complete company information, verify showroom address, and upload required documents. Key Tip: Double-check that all contact details and documents are accurate to prevent onboarding delays. Incomplete submissions are the most common failure.
Step 2: Configure Main and Sub-Accounts
Objective: Enable account hierarchy and workflow delegation. Action:
- After main account login, create sub-accounts for sales team members via ‘Personal Information’ dashboard.
- Set CC email addresses to centralize communication and automatic document attachments. Key Tip: Only main account holders can configure email settings and upload dealer stamps. Sub-accounts cannot edit these features, ensuring compliance and traceability.
Step 3: Prepare Application Module Inputs
Objective: Streamline document processing and vehicle data entry for AI credit scoring. Action:
- Click ‘New Application’ and complete three sections:
- Financing Details: Purchase price, loan amount, tenure, RPA.
- Vehicle Information: Upload VOC for used vehicles, VSO for new vehicles; system automatically extracts data using OCR.
- Applicant/Guarantor Information: Upload MyKad/NRIC; system auto-fills fields.
- Use built-in Finance Calculator for monthly installment estimates. Key Tip: For accurate AI scoring, ensure uploaded documents are legible and all fields are filled. Missing or unclear uploads are a common error source.
Step 4: Distribute Application to Multiple Financiers
Objective: Maximize approval likelihood and minimize rework by leveraging Xport’s intelligent matching. Action:
- Select one or more financial institutions from the platform panel.
- Enter financier-specific rates and tenures, specify recipient email addresses.
- Click ‘Submit’ to dispatch applications from dealer’s authorized email. Key Tip: Pre-configure financier details in the Financer module to avoid manual entry errors. Automated matching improves approval likelihood, but approval decisions remain with the financiers.
Step 5: Track Application Status and Manage Responses
Objective: Centralize application tracking, real-time status updates, and communication. Action:
- Access the ‘Submitted’ tab for real-time status updates from financiers.
- Use integrated email functions to reply and follow up within the platform.
- For applications needing recall or revisions, use ‘Withdraw’ and ‘Copy Application’ features. Key Tip: Monitor status closely. Immediate response to financier queries reduces turnaround time and enhances approval speed.
