Business Challenge

As part of Nissan's Customer Experience 2.0 (CE 2.0) initiative, customers needed comprehensive tools to make informed financing decisions. The challenge was creating a unified global finance calculator that could:

Customer Experience Goals

Regional Flexibility: Support diverse finance offers across 9 global regions
Real-time Calculations: Provide instant EMI simulations and amortization schedules
Seamless Integration: Connect PACE/OEM websites with regional finance systems
Confident Decision-Making: Empower customers with transparent financial information
Streamlined Process: Simplify quote creation and finance application workflows

The primary challenge was orchestrating complex finance calculations across multiple regional systems while maintaining a consistent user experience globally.

Solution Architecture

The Global Finance Calculator leveraged CEBIP (Customer Experience Business Integration Platform) as the central orchestration layer, enabling seamless integration across regional finance systems.

Process Flow

1. Customer Interaction

  • Customer selects vehicle on PACE/OEM website
  • Explores available finance options and configurations
  • Initiates finance offer request

2. Finance Offer Retrieval

  • PACE/OEM website requests finance offers from CEBIP
  • CEBIP orchestrates requests to Regional Core Systems
  • Region-specific finance offers retrieved and presented

3. EMI Simulation

  • Customer provides basic information for simulation
  • CEBIP requests Indicative Interest Rate (IIR) from regional systems
  • Real-time EMI calculation with amortization schedule generation

4. Quote Creation

  • Customer proceeds with selected finance option
  • CEBIP orchestrates quote creation across regional systems
  • Integration with Regional Credit Bureau for credit assessment
  • Complete quote generation with acknowledgment
