PDPilot
PDPilot

The fully integratable credit engine — efficient, scalable, audit-proof.

PDPilot automates the most expensive stage of the corporate credit value chain: turning borrower financials into decision-ready data.

The business case
Reduce manual operating time by more than 97%

Spreading and review preparation that previously required analyst days is reduced to minutes of validation — shortening credit decision cycles and releasing capacity for judgement and client work.

Improve the quality of credit decisions

Accurate, comparable, quality-assured financials on one standardized basis across every issuer, year and European GAAP and IFRS — a consistent foundation for every credit decision.

Automate credit journeys end to end

From document receipt to decision-ready data in downstream systems — straight-through processing where appropriate, human judgement and dual control where required.

Where PDPilot fits in the credit value chain

PDPilot complements existing system architecture rather than replacing it. It assumes responsibility for one clearly bounded stage of the credit process — the preparation of decision-ready financials — and delivers reviewed, structured results to the institution's established platforms.

Efficient

Manual spreading is the slowest step in corporate credit. PDPilot automates extraction, standardization and reconciliation end to end, so analyst capacity moves from data preparation to credit judgement — where it creates value.

Scalable

One workflow for the whole book: the same standardized line vocabulary, the same checks and the same governance for every issuer, every year and every European GAAP and IFRS — output that remains consistent from a single report to a full review season.

Audit-proof

Every figure is traceable to the source document, every manual intervention is identified and recorded in an append-only trail, and approvals are enforced under dual control and stored as immutable records — designed for internal audit and supervisory review.

Integratable

API-first by construction: every capability of the platform is available through a documented interface, so standardized statements, ratios, ratings and approval states flow directly into the origination, monitoring and data-warehouse landscape.

Automate your credit journey

PDPilot helps to automate labor-intensive parts of the credit value chain while retaining industry-grade control and auditability.

For banks

Compress the annual-review cycle for corporate borrowers. Every report becomes standardized financials with derived ratios and an indicative rating, produced inside a governed workflow that meets the control expectations of a regulated credit process — dual control, accountability and a complete record by default.

For funds & asset managers

Maintain a current, consistent view of the entire portfolio. New financials are processed as they are published, every issuer is tracked on the same basis across years, and comparability breaks — a change in consolidation scope or currency — are surfaced immediately upon processing.

For financial analysts

Eliminate transcription work entirely. PDPilot prepares the financials; analysts validate against the source document, resolve exceptional cases in minutes, and devote their time to the credit assessment itself.

Normalization that unlocks deep credit analytics

Financial statements arrive in every accounting regime, language, layout and consolidation basis. PDPilot's engine resolves that heterogeneity into one structural model — and that is what turns individual documents into a portfolio-wide data asset. Statements are processed in their original language: currently English, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish.

Structural normalization

Heterogeneous financials are mapped onto a single, consistent structural model of the balance sheet and income statement — independent of how each report was originally presented. This is the foundation on which comparability and analytics are built.

Structural comparability

Every issuer and every year on the same basis: peer comparison, benchmarking and multi-year trend analysis become genuinely like-for-like — meaningful rather than approximate — across the entire credit portfolio.

Deep credit analytics

With the whole book on one structural basis, analysis gains depth: ratios, indicative ratings and time series for every exposure, and a consistent, machine-readable data foundation for internal models, portfolio monitoring and risk reporting.

Deterministic and explainable

Extraction and derivation follow deterministic, verifiable rules: every figure is computed, traceable and reproducible rather than generated. The result is explainable output that audit and validation functions can rely on.

Reports that turn a portfolio into answers

Every reviewed statement feeds three report families — issuer, peer group and industry — built on the same normalized basis, with ratings, ratio packs and multi-year trends. Comparability breaks are never papered over: a change of currency, consolidation scope or printed unit scale is disclosed on the face of the report.

Value metrics aggregate only within one currency; ratios always compare.
Illustrative data. The same report is served as structured JSON over the API — identical to the reviewed workspace figures.

Issuer reports

Multi-year statements, the full ratio pack and the rating timeline for one borrower — with per-year provenance: currency, consolidation scope, approval status and any manual overrides are disclosed column by column.

Peer & industry reports

Any peer set — or every issuer in an industry — compared on the same normalized basis. Aggregates are computed honestly: value metrics only within a single currency, unit-scale differences aligned and flagged, ratios always.

Delivered where decisions happen

Every report is available as structured JSON through the documented API — the exact figures the review workflow approved, ready for credit memos, dashboards and the data warehouse.

Straight-through integration

PDPilot connects directly to the institution's existing systems. Reviewed financials, ratios and ratings flow into them automatically — no manual re-entry, no extra hand-offs.

No re-keying, no new silo

Standardized statements, ratios, ratings and approval states are delivered as structured data to origination, decisioning and risk-reporting systems — eliminating duplicate data entry across the credit process.

Orchestrated by existing workflows

Every platform capability is callable through a documented interface, so the institution's own workflow engine can drive PDPilot end to end — the standard flow runs automatically, while analyst and approver attention is focused on the exceptions.

One version of the truth

Reviewed figures, their provenance and their approval history stay consistent across every consuming system — what risk reporting sees is exactly what was approved, with the evidence attached.

Security & governance

Credit data demands the same rigour banks apply to their own systems. PDPilot is engineered to meet the requirements of information-security, compliance and audit functions.

Built around SOC 2 principles

PDPilot's control environment is designed around the SOC 2 trust service criteria — security, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy. Controls are enforced by the platform itself rather than by policy alone, which keeps vendor due-diligence and control mapping straightforward for the second line of defence.

Industry-standard security

Established practice, applied by default: least-privilege access, strong authentication, encrypted connections and tamper-evident activity records — the control families every security review examines, answered by design rather than by exception.

Data governance

Clear ownership and full lineage: every figure is traceable from source document through review to approval, with segregation of duties along the way. Client data remains client data — never repurposed, never blended across clients or engagements, and never silently altered.

Deployment & data residency

PDPilot operates as a dedicated, single-tenant instance per institution — in a private environment or on-premises. Client data is processed within the dedicated instance, under the deployment model the institution selects.

Getting started

A live demonstration environment is available on request.
