People
Northpoint's management team has an average of 20+ years of inventory finance experience and our sales professionals have 25+ years of experience in the industries served. Our success lies in the fact that we are a highly diverse team that consistently challenges the 'typical' way of doing business. Our collective industry experience makes us able to find new ways to approach old problems. This is what differentiates us – continuous process improvement and innovative ideas.
We are a team of professionals that are experts in the industries that we serve. When customers call, they can feel comfortable in knowing that they are talking to a professional who understands how the industry operates, who the players are and how to be successful. Many industries could benefit from our services, but we have chosen to focus only on those that we know inside and out. This is what we do!
Technology
Developed by IT Experts in the Distribution Finance Industry: It works the way you need it to.
Our technology has been developed by IT experts who have actually worked in our business. They have performed the roles that many of the system’s users will perform and therefore have a completely different perspective than the typical IT person who has never been involved at the business level. This perspective is a huge reason why our technology platform is unparalleled.
We offer a premier system with:
- State-of-the-art Work Flow: Process consistency while remaining cost-effective.
- Inventory Management Tools: For time-saving accuracy.
- On-line / Electronic Invoicing and Dealer Payment: Reduces paperwork and increases efficiency.
- On-line Information Retrieval: Fast access to customer information and increased customer satisfaction.
Processes
Using Six Sigma principles, we have “leaned” out our processes and eliminated anything that doesn’t add value from the customer’s perspective. The results have been meaningful. Our process improvements have enabled us to be more efficient in credit underwriting, documentation and in managing risk. Streamlined processes allow us to manage our business with fewer layers making us more efficient and easier to do business with.
