LeadX organizing UCC data to boost user sales

Equipment lender KLC Financial is seeing early success with tech provider LeadX ’s AI-powered platform that now enables tracking of Uniform Commercial Code filings. LeadX recently expanded its platform, originally built as a sales prospecting tool for equipment lenders, after learning that decentralized UCC data was a major pain point for clients, co-founder and Chief Executive John Sokol told Equipment Finance News , a sister publication of FinAi News . Tracking UCC filings — legal notices that show a lender’s security interest in a borrower’s assets — is challenging because the availability and cadence with which states provide this data varies significantly, Sokol said. “For example, in California we procure that data set weekly,” he said. “Oregon is monthly. Florida is daily.” Founded in 2022, LeadX collects raw UCC data as soon as it is made available and organizes it into a database that allows lenders and dealers to search for information on debtors, secured parties, assets and other filing details, Sokol said.

Organized UCC data also helped KLC close a deal with a fast-growing aerospace equipment manufacturer a few weeks ago, Ellis said. LeadX enables equipment lenders to maintain a full pipeline of leads while eliminating “hours of digging through secretary of state websites or hunting down decision-makers,” he said. Powered by AI AI plays a key role in structuring UCC data and turning it into actionable insights for LeadX users, Sokol said.
