“Managing the complex sales process of regulated financial products is a major challenge in the industry,” said Mark Beeston, Founder of Illuminate Financial. “Most existing solutions are costly, inefficient and developed in-house, connecting tailored CRM/BPM that don’t fully capture the customer journey. The N5 suite of solutions is tailor-made for the financial services industry and addresses this gap head-on. We are delighted to welcome N5 to the Illuminate Financial portfolio and support this impressive team in the next phase of their journey.”

Among the products and services offered, the N5 Now platform is the flagship product. With rapid implementation resulting in an increase in business productivity by 53%, improving NPS by more than 21 points and reducing distribution costs by 16%, it allows tangible results in 100 days. The suite is a systematic platform with native integration of all the software necessary for a financial institution, such as CRMs, BPMs, incentives and omnichannel, which allows to break down the natural barrier that prevents a bank from innovating, since it frees these institutions from the complexity of their legacy systems.
