MCA App v2.4 – 2.8 Enhancements

Overview

In an ongoing commitment to making the MCA App the premier tool for the Alternative Lending industry, CloudMyBiz releases upgrades periodically throughout the year. Each upgrade includes bug fixes, new features, and enhancements to user interface, experience, and system performance based on updates to the Salesforce platform and user feedback.
The only cost to clients to receive an upgraded MCA App is the cost of the hours required to implement the new version at the client’s Professional Services Rate. There are no new managed package costs or licensing fees. With each upcoming release, CloudMyBiz will provide a feature list to help clients identify if they should implement the latest upgrade for their team.
In addition to upgrades to the core MCA App, CloudMyBiz is constantly working on new and powerful tools built for the MCA industry. These new products are designed to streamline the entire pipeline from Loan Origination to Funding and beyond. As new Apps are developed, CloudMyBiz will update you with new offerings which may be beneficial to your team.
To date, the CloudMyBiz team has spent thousands of hours developing the MCA App, and has helped clients implement robust, mature systems typically requiring years of development in months and weeks. We hope you like the latest features, and we know you’ll appreciate upcoming enhancements. Stay tuned for the latest updates from the CloudMyBiz team!
