When I first moved the pacific northwest back in 2017, I started working for 1stMILE (formally known as Merchant Partners). One of their main products is a Windows desktop UI application (also called 1stMILE). This was also the primary application I worked with and still work today during my time with company.
1stMILE is a middleware that provides finance capabilities to those who use the software. Primarily focused, but not limited, to the automotive industry, 1stMILE provides functionalities such as card transaction processing, applying for credit options, daily sale reports and more.
My largest contribution to this product was this concept called the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is a system designed to act as a three-layer credit application system. If a consumer needed financing help to help pay for repairs, the Credit Facility would help the consumer obtain a credit line. If the consumer was not approved for the best credit option, we'd help move them onto other credit options by reusing the data they've previously entered. The 1stMILE team created the following video to help explain this concept:
For this feature, I was responsible for developing the architecture, laying out the initial UI, and implementing the overall feature. When coming up with the design and architecture, my goal was to create reusable views and pieces so that they can be used in whatever way needed to match the visual and application requirements determined by each credit lender. In short, the system closely follows a standard MVC model to help support the dynamic changing of views while keeping the application logic and data separate and concise.
Since the release, more credit lenders have been added to the system and other UI improvements were made. Due to the underlying architecture, adding new credit lenders and supporting UI changes can be made with relative ease. Here's a demo recording of the Credit Facility made by 1stMILE sales team shortly after its initial release:
