About Sunstreet Group
Sunstreet Group manages loan disbursement, repayment oversight, rental management and asset administration in the UK. As portfolios and transaction volumes grew, the team needed a better way to run operations that had been handled through spreadsheets, email threads and manual effort.
The challenge
- Loans, repayments and rents tracked manually in Excel and email
- Slow report preparation and information sharing
- Difficulty tracking key loan and property metrics
- No real-time visibility and a high risk of data errors
The result was lost productivity and no central control over financial and property operations.
What Sunstreet needed

- Remove spreadsheet dependency and manual record-keeping
- Provide real-time dashboards and financial insight
- Automate communication with borrowers and tenants
- Improve accuracy, traceability and compliance
- Create a platform that scales with the portfolio

Why Zoho Creator for lending and property management?
Off-the-shelf software rarely fits specialist lending and property processes. Zoho Creator lets ThoughtLogik build an application around the way a business actually works, at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional custom development, with built-in security, mobile access and integration with the wider Zoho suite.
