The Dutch bank DLL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Rabobank Group, serves more than 25 countries, including Brazil. Here, the two-decade partnership with CWI has significantly contributed to the evolution of the institution’s technology solutions — so much that we are expanding our services to three Latin American countries.
The global asset financing partner works to ensure its clients can easily access equipment, technology, and software. This is achieved through customized and competitive financing programs via BNDES, CDC, and Leasing lines.

A comprehensive platform for financing workflow
CWI has been involved with the project since its inception in 2018. Our Strategic Software Engineering team participated in the conception and execution of the solution. Currently, we continue to work on strategic developments, focusing on expanding the range of services, convenience, and innovation.
In an increasingly competitive market, the initial challenge was to provide partners with a new experience, not just a new platform in terms of technology and architecture. This gave birth to the NEO platform, which introduces a fresh approach to business processes and consolidates various functionalities of the financing process.
One of them is the integration with services for digital signatures and electronic contract registration. Essential to maintain operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, this innovation in the platform has been a significant differentiator for DLL. Today, the application also integrates with platforms that facilitate Public Consultation on Embargoes and Environmental Infringements by IBAMA, as well as with the Employer Registry (known as the “dirty list” for combating slave labor).

Integration with BNDES: improvement in response time
The integration with the BNDES Online system is another standout feature of the NEO platform. Pioneering in offering financing from various funding sources, DLL already provided this service back in 2019.
The solution has improved response times for quotations, contracting, and release of financing resources. This is a market where the speed of response directly influences acquiring new clients — therefore, having technology that enables faster action makes all the difference.
Previously, the process of making resources available through BNDES typically took around 30 days. Currently, the platform allows operations to be contracted in this mode within two days.

Safety first: strategies used in CWI’s development for DLL
- Sonar Cloud: A SAST solution providing code review for technologies such as Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, C++, Ruby, and Kotlin, with integration into DevOps platforms.
- OWASP Dependency-Check: Used to identify known vulnerable components in applications and their dependent libraries.
- OWASP ZAP: The Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP), a DAST solution, acts as a proxy between the tester’s browser and the web application, inspecting messages and, if necessary, modifying content before forwarding packets to the destination. The use of this proxy at DLL was suggested by CWI.

Quality, partnership, and proactivity are not just standard terms in an evaluation. These three characteristics truly highlight my experience with CWI. The partnership, assistance, and understanding go far beyond a client-supplier relationship.

Internationalization
Cultural differences posed a challenge, but CWI has experience in serving international contexts. Stages of ideation, brainstorming, and prototyping, with the involvement of the local IT team, were essential for the solution’s success in Mexico.

Gradual and healthy evolution
Modernization began with demands related to CDC lines, gradually absorbing all bank operations thereafter. This approach allowed the delivered outcome to be validated more effectively, with a set of controlled risks and greater adaptability to business priorities.
