Equipment Finance Companies

Equipment finance companies need a clear, real-time view of how contracts perform—from marketing response to final payoff.

Tracking balances, early buyouts, defaults, and marketing performance is critical—but extracting these insights from spreadsheets is slow, manual, and risky. Different teams rely on siloed data, and every new analysis introduces the potential for error.

Dark Sky Data makes it easy. Upload your file, choose your filters, and get instant visibility into performance across vendors, equipment types, credit tiers, and customer segments.

  • Balances Curves show how balances decline over time—by asset, dealer, or finance structure
  • Experience Curves reveal when events like delinquencies, buyouts, or defaults occur
  • Marketing Response Curves help you track engagement from dealer campaigns or direct outreach

No code. No pivot tables. Just answers.

And your data stays yours—we don’t store it, retain it, or reuse it in any way.
