Navitas Credit released a newly re-engineered vendor portal, which will be branded as “Navitas Connect” and will support the transaction origination needs of equipment dealers, manufactures and distributors.

Major functionality enhancements include a new application entry process, improved search capabilities and expanded payment quoting capabilities.

The architecture utilized on this build allows current and future versions to be configurable, providing flexibility to customize functionality. The next release of the portal is already in development. Key deliverables in the second phase of the offering will include customizable security levels by user, real time credit approvals and enhanced quoting options.

Gary Shivers, president and CEO of Navitas, said, “Navitas Connect represents a significant upgrade to our web based sales origination capabilities. The new functionality will enable our customers to better manage the entire transaction process from submittal to funding. The technology choices we made in this latest build allows us to quickly deploy future releases in order to deliver value in a timely manner.”

The next release of the desktop version of Navitas Connect is scheduled for early February 2017. Once this phase is completed, the development focus will move to building mobile and tablet versions of the platform.
