Moderator Note:
In the past I have restricted postings from MIS service providers. As the following post asks us to enter into a discussion of loan tracking system feature that are needed by practitioners (and quite frankly, due to the lack of much activity here over the past year) I am going to let this posting through and encourage you to consider taking a minute to answer the question raised here publicly (or also privately to Isaac).
I will go first:
Three things that I feel tracking systems should provide are:
1-A transparent interest rate, calculated on the APR standard, taking into account all fees required by the MFI. A separate APR should also be shown, taking into account any required savings prior to disbursement, or as a component of the loan payment.
2-A product by product calculation of the portfolio yield each month. A comparison with the APR by product would also be very helpful.
3-Retention Rate (or client dropout rate) report which shows how many loans are renewed from those which matured each month by loan cycle.
Thanks,
