As the structured finance industry continues to evolve in Europe and the Middle East, securitization warehouses remain a cornerstone for enabling financial services firms funding across asset classes—from residential mortgages, credit cards, buy-now-pay-later, personal loans, auto loans and trade receivables.

At TAO Solutions, we are witnessing a number of new market entrants establish new warehouse securitization programs and seeking to understand the importance of automation, transparency, and operational resilience. A key consideration, given increasing regulatory and operational scrutiny and heightened investor expectations.

Given the above, the accuracy and agility of automated funding, borrowing base calculations and required reporting have become mission-critical. TAO Solutions has addressed this requirement by providing turn-key software solutions that enables new entrants an effective path to undertake at a price that eliminates the need to build an internal solution.

In this article, we explore how TAO Solutions addresses this operational requirement with sophisticated funding optimization, borrowing base and stakeholder reporting capabilities that transform warehouse securitization administration and provides the necessary functionality to support future growth.

A warehouse facility is a short-term funding arrangement where originators pledge eligible receivables into a special-purpose vehicle (SPV) in exchange for revolving financing. These facilities are typically used to accumulate collateral before a term securitization or portfolio sale.

Borrowing base calculations can be deceptively complex. Lenders require:

Historically, new entrants relied on manual spreadsheets, however this introduced operational risk, compliance gaps, and reporting delays—all of which jeopardize liquidity access and relationship trust.

TAO Solutions’ SecureHub® transforms the end-to-end securitization warehouse process with a rules-based, fully auditable automated algorithmic solver (SCULPT) and funding engine that supports the administration need of treasury, capital markets, risk and compliance.

Key Capabilities:

• Funding Optimization with SCULPT: TAO’s proprietary optimization engine uses algorithmic solvers to allocate originated loans across multiple warehouse lines based on customer-defined criteria such as cost of funds, concentration exposure, eligibility constraints, and strategic funding goals. SCULPT empowers clients to reduce excess spread leakage, minimize capital costs, and optimize funding execution.
• Automated Data Feeds: Seamlessly creates data feeds for internal systems, including servicing, finance and accounting.
• Configurable Eligibility Rules: Apply lender-defined criteria across multiple asset types, geographies, or program structures.
• Dynamic Advance Rates: Compute facility limits in real-time with granular haircuts, stratification limits, and performance triggers.
• Covenant Monitoring: Generate early warning alerts dashboards and automated compliance checks across triggers such as OC/IC ratios, delinquency thresholds, and concentration breaches.
• Servicer Reporting to Lenders: Generate standardized reporting packages and waterfall payment summaries, tailored for lender review and filing.
• Investor Reporting: Create end-to-end investor disclosures including performance reports, pool stratifications, and historical cash flow analytics with minimal manual effort.
• Integrated Accounting & Ledger Support: Automate journal entries, reconciliations, and SPV-level financials with customizable chart of accounts and multi-currency support—reducing reliance on offline spreadsheets and standalone GL systems.
• Regulatory & Audit-Ready Outputs: Maintain data lineage, timestamps, and system-of-record visibility across all reporting outputs, supporting IFRS, GAAP, and jurisdictional compliance requirements.

One of TAO’s clients uses SecureHub® to manage its warehouse facilities. Through dynamic borrowing base logic, automated waterfall prioritization, and embedded reporting tools, the lender has:

• Significantly reduced manual intervention
• Improved covenant compliance and audit readiness
• Delivered lender and investor packages
• Automated SPV-level accounting and funding journal flows

In today’s funding environment, warehouse facilities are no longer just temporary holding structures—they are strategic liquidity and funding facilities. Automation of funding, borrowing base, reporting, and accounting enables lenders, servicers, and originators to scale efficiently, de-risk operations, and introduces industry best practices.

TAO Solutions empowers institutions to modernize their structured finance infrastructure. By reimagining warehouse securitization through automated borrowing base tools, stakeholder reporting, integrated accounting, and dynamic funding optimization, we help clients unlock funding flexibility while ensuring governance and control.
