As technology has evolved, lenders increasingly turn to intelligent platforms to automate and optimize their workflows. But while there are plenty of platforms that cater to one-size-fits-all approaches, the reality is that not all lenders have the same needs. That’s where Blooma Pro and Blooma Enterprise come in. These two solutions allow lenders to get the best of Blooma’s technology, but in a way that fits their team’s unique size, workflow needs, and budget.
In commercial real estate (CRE) lending, the scale and complexity of an institution’s operations have a direct impact on the tools they need. As technology has evolved, lenders have increasingly turned to intelligent platforms to automate and optimize their workflows. But while there are plenty of platforms that cater to one-size-fits-all approaches, the reality is that not all lenders have the same needs. Some are smaller teams, looking for a streamlined solution to help them stay efficient, while others are larger institutions that need more advanced features to manage complex portfolios.
Recognizing these different needs is what led to the creation of Blooma’s CRE Intelligence platform. Designed to meet the diverse demands of lenders across the industry, the platform provides a range of tools that help CRE lenders streamline operations, manage risk, and stay compliant in an evolving market. But within this suite of features, Blooma offers two distinct solutions—Blooma Pro and Blooma Enterprise—that are tailored to meet the needs of different types of lenders.
As we worked with lenders, we realized that while they all wanted to streamline operations and gain access to real-time data, their specific needs varied greatly depending on their size, resources, and loan complexity. Smaller lending teams needed a streamlined, affordable solution that could help them optimize loan origination without getting bogged down by features they didn’t need. Larger lending teams, on the other hand, required deeper customization, more robust portfolio management tools, and a higher level of support to manage the complexity of their operations.
That’s where Blooma Pro and Blooma Enterprise come in. These two solutions allow lenders to get the best of Blooma’s technology, but in a way that fits their team’s unique size, workflow needs, and budget.
Let’s explore how each solution is designed to meet different needs in the CRE lending world.

Blooma Pro was developed specifically for smaller lending teams who need a streamlined solution that offers powerful tools for loan origination without the overhead of complex features designed for larger institutions. Pro focuses entirely on Origination Intelligence, providing lenders with the essentials for automating document parsing, deal scoring, and integrating key market data—all at a more accessible price point.
Smaller teams often have fewer resources, which means that every second spent on manual processes is time taken away from the high-value work of building relationships, analyzing deals, and growing the business. Yet, smaller teams still need the ability to make fast, informed decisions based on data. That’s where Blooma Pro can help.
Pro is a cost-effective solution for lenders that need to streamline their origination processes without investing in features they won’t use. It provides all the tools needed to assess deals quickly, automate workflows, and gain valuable insights, helping smaller teams maximize their efficiency and close more deals, faster.
The core of Blooma Pro is its Origination Intelligence. This module automates the most time-consuming aspects of deal screening, including AI-driven document parsing, deal scoring with preset parameters, and market data aggregation. By automating these tasks, Pro allows smaller teams to focus on analyzing deal quality and engaging with borrowers, rather than getting stuck in the weeds of manual data entry.
Pro users benefit from:
With these features, smaller teams can move quickly through deal origination, gaining the insights they need to assess deals accurately without being overwhelmed by excessive data
One of the key value propositions of Blooma Pro is its scalability. While designed for smaller lenders, Pro is built to grow alongside your team. As your origination volume increases, the platform can scale with you, allowing you to handle more deals without sacrificing efficiency or performance. This makes it the ideal solution for agile lenders who are looking to build their tech stack without the need for immediate high-touch enterprise features.
Blooma Pro is built with simplicity in mind. Its intuitive interface makes it easy for small teams to get up and running quickly, with minimal training required. Lenders can onboard the system in just a few hours, allowing them to see immediate improvements in their workflows and begin benefiting from automation right away.
If your team is small but nimble, and your primary focus is on loan origination, Blooma Pro is the right fit. It’s a streamlined, cost-effective solution that empowers you to manage more deals, reduce manual tasks, and improve decision-making without the complexity of features designed for larger institutions.
For larger lenders, handling a high volume of complex loans requires a more robust solution. Blooma Enterprise is designed specifically for institutions with larger teams, more intricate workflows, and the need for advanced customization. Enterprise goes beyond origination and provides access to both Origination and Portfolio Intelligence, enabling lenders to manage loans from deal origination through continuous portfolio monitoring.
Larger institutions often manage more loans and require deeper insight into their portfolios. The complexity of these deals means they need more robust tools to stay on top of both deal origination and ongoing portfolio risk. Additionally, these teams typically need more control over their workflows and deeper integrations into their existing systems.
Blooma Enterprise offers exactly that. With its advanced features for loan origination and portfolio monitoring, it provides larger lenders with everything they need to streamline operations, manage risk, and stay compliant with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
Similar to Pro, Enterprise includes Origination Intelligence, but with added customization and advanced features to meet the needs of larger institutions. Enterprise users benefit from AI-driven document parsing, customizable deal scoring models, and deep integrations with third-party data providers. These enhanced features provide larger teams with the ability to handle more loans and more complex workflows, allowing for multi-property analysis, cross-collateralization, advanced deal structuring, complex underwriting templates, technology integrations, and more.

2. Portfolio Intelligence
One of the key differentiators of Blooma Enterprise is its Portfolio Intelligence capabilities. For larger teams managing substantial portfolios, the ability to continuously monitor loans and assess risk in real-time is critical. Enterprise offers real-time portfolio monitoring, actionable insights, and automated alerts, helping lenders stay on top of their portfolios and make data-driven decisions to mitigate risk.
Enterprise users benefit from:
Larger institutions often need more dedicated support to ensure they are getting the most out of their platform. Blooma Enterprise provides high-touch customer service, with dedicated client success managers who work closely with your team to optimize the platform for your specific needs. This ensures that Enterprise users can take full advantage of the platform’s features and customizations and integrate them seamlessly into their existing workflows.
If your institution manages a large number of loans, requires robust portfolio monitoring, and needs greater control over how your platform integrates with your workflows, Blooma Enterprise is the solution. It’s built to scale with your institution, offering customizable features and dedicated support to ensure you’re managing your portfolio effectively.
To make it easier to see the differences between Blooma Pro and Blooma Enterprise, here’s a simple breakdown of the features available in each solution:
The decision between Blooma Pro and Blooma Enterprise ultimately comes down to the size of your team, the complexity of your operations, and your long-term goals.
To recap:
No matter which solution you choose, Blooma offers the power, flexibility, and insights you need to succeed in today’s CRE market. Both Pro and Enterprise provide access to the CRE Intelligence platform, ensuring that you can automate processes, reduce risks, and make smarter, data-driven decisions.
