FUNDINGO Wins the 2027 Salesforce Partner of the Year Award for System of Work

FUNDINGO Named a 2027 Salesforce Partner of the Year Award Winner

FUNDINGO is a winner of the 2027 Salesforce Partner of the Year Awards for System of Work (Customer 360). The award recognizes our work helping Lyon Financial transform its lending operations on a connected, Salesforce-native platform.

This is FUNDINGO's second Salesforce Partner of the Year recognition. Our October 13, 2026 press release shares the customer results behind the award.

Salesforce gives these awards once a year to a small group of partners chosen from hundreds of nominations. The award recognizes partners who deliver measurable business outcomes for their customers on the Salesforce platform. Winners are also recognized at Dreamforce, Salesforce's annual conference in San Francisco.

Lyon Financial: From 54 Days to 14 Days

Lyon Financial helps homeowners finance swimming pools and home improvement projects through its lending partners. Founded in 1979, the veteran-founded, employee-owned company has served more than 800,000 customers through its contractor and dealer network.

Working with FUNDINGO and Salesforce, Lyon Financial brought origination, draw management, document processing, and lender communications onto one connected platform. Integrated workflows and automation replaced steps that previously required manual coordination.

The result: a 74% reduction in the time from final approval to funding, from 54 days to 14 days, while maintaining delinquency below 1%. The platform also improved visibility across the loan lifecycle and helped Lyon Financial scale its lending operations.

"Building our lending process on FUNDINGO and Salesforce has allowed us to automate steps that once required manual coordination. That automation has helped our team move applications forward faster, improve visibility across the loan lifecycle, and shorten the time from final approval to funding. We're excited to see FUNDINGO recognized for the impact of our collaboration."

What the Award Recognizes

The Partner of the Year Awards are not about promises or demos. Salesforce looks at what partners actually put into production and what those systems do for the customers who use them every day.

For FUNDINGO, that work is lending. Our loan origination and servicing platform is built natively on Salesforce, which means lenders run their entire operation — intake, underwriting, closing, servicing, and reporting — inside one system instead of stitching together separate tools.

The 14th annual Partner of the Year Awards recognize Salesforce partners' contributions through AI agent implementations, measurable Agentforce success stories, and customer adoption that drives business growth.

What It Means for Our Clients

This recognition is based on work we did together with our clients. A few things follow from it:

• The work went live. The award assessment looks at real systems in production, not pilots.
• We stay close to Salesforce. Our team works directly with Salesforce guidance and enablement, and we bring that into every client account.
• The platform keeps moving forward. Building on Salesforce means our clients benefit from the same roadmap that earned this recognition, including AI agents through Agentforce.

Thank You

This award belongs to the team who did the work and to the clients who trusted us with it. CDFIs, small business lenders, and commercial real estate lenders chose to run their operations on FUNDINGO — this recognition is the result of that partnership.
