What about a Ui that is mobile friendly?
Or even something that works with safari so each screen remains the correct size?
First platform version worked ok on mobile.

muttley916 - the new UI will be mobile responsive on all platforms, so it should take care of that. @gsv3miac - we will take a look at that, we are looking at optomising the whole platform, sothat is a great heads up. Thanks to all who have commented so far, it really is a fabulous resource for us to improve the platform, please keep them all coming..... Lots of the recent updates have been on the back end for administration, new functionality in loans, market reconciliations etc. basically more data, more options on loan management and deal flow. Now we are able to use a lot of that data mining to give you more info and better tools. This new platform will be more intuitive to use, will allow you to dig down further on all your data if you want to, it will be better organised for managing loans making it much more efficient to manage a portfolio and geared up for the launch of ASMX as the secondary market. Here is the first draft design with fake data (obviusly), it will give you an idea of the kind of structure it will be- don't get too hung up on the details.. as this was an excercise in structure. The details will be added as each page is finalised. We may also be able to give early access with fake data to lenders for feedback before the final launch:

I have no issues with the current UI. I must be getting too old for all this. After Brexit it will all have to be changed again to display in £-s-d.

I guess there is a sentimental attachment to the Ablrate "ring doughnut" but, FWIW, it adds nothing for me.

I guess there is a sentimental attachment to the Ablrate "ring doughnut" but, FWIW, it adds nothing for me. The ring donut in its early form was a useless occupier of space. When I first joined ABL, the first few investments gave an indication of diversity of investment but after about 5 holdings the rest were aggregated into single segment and as the number of holdings grew further, the "rest of segment" increased in length and the donut became useless. Now due to the relatively small number of borrower many with several loans, the check of investment diversity is a much more complex subject and would need a much more sophisticated graphic to show it (A challenge for the Dev's perhaps? hint*). Please "Ditch the Donut" if it will only be in it's trivial form for the new UI. LW * Having thought a bit more about this, a pie chart with each slice being the amount invested with each borrower - NOT each loan - could be of some use to fill a corner. As a diabetic, pies are bad enough for me but donuts are a complete no no

I agree - don't like the donut either... it will be out of the final draft... maybe a pie, just for you ladywhitenap. The purpose of whatever ends up there is that it will be the doorway to the data that lies underneath, so basically its a snapshot and clicking will drill down further on the data. We cannot promise this will definately happen, but we are working on making the dashboard bespoke so you can move things ariund and select what appears there... if we can make that work elegantly it will in , if not it will remian static

I know I can use the ISA email address to login but I don't. I always login with the standard account email address and switch to ISA. I'd like an option to set which account displays when I login.

As this platform still has relatively few discrete borrowers, one of the key risk reduction factors for me is the sheer amount of loans that trace back to a single individual or holding company. Whilst to date these borrowers have been excellent payers, they still reduce diversity. LW

You still have to drill down further to find the borrowers connected by shareholdings, which is unlikely to be presented. It is good that 67&68 may possibly not be so connected.

Question:
Which platform gives you the best statistics page?
Basically we are building ours for the new UI and want to know what you would like to see there, so far (in addition to the usual account metrics) we have:
1. All time earnings and last 12 months 2. Interest earned 3. Capital Returned
We are working on defaults/delinquencies, but this can get overly complicated and confusing (delinquent/recoverable/written off etc). We would like this section to be useful, not just clever, so what would you like to see / have the statistics section do? ....and is there a platform that is doing some thing good?

Having worked on building out large platforms in the past, my personal opinion is to either:
a) have simple headline figures which lead to more detailed pages. similar to what you have now.
b) allow the end user to configure the home page to their own taste.
A lot of the comments above have covered the information needed which is missing at the moment so I don't want to start listing statistics.
What I don't want to see is the Bloomberg trading platform, just enough information to see what I have, what is due and what is coming up. KISS as they say.

I am ok with what there is. I would like you to remove the lender tax statements for IFISA accounts.
One small thing that would be nice is to know the amount of outstanding principal of amortising loans, on the SM, rather than the original sum, or as well as.

Thanks Mike.. we are very much trying to keep the simplistic nature and allow lenders to drill down if they want. Home page configuration is on the wish list... we think it will be OK, but we will be testing soon to see if it works ok.
