What Is PCS/1

A Platform Built to Handle What Spreadsheets and Generic Software Cannot

PCS/1 — Private Credit Solutions / One. The “/1” reflects a singular approach to private credit: one integrated solution spanning data, calculations, administration, forecasting, and analytics.

PCS/1 is a web-based technology platform that supports the modeling, ongoing maintenance, and reporting of complex private market transactions, handling both debt (including complex asset-based loans) and equity. It gives clients portfolio-level visibility into transactions as well as their underlying collateral, alongside the transaction-level detail needed to manage them day to day. 

PCS/1 is not sector specific, meaning it can handle collateral across all sectors of investing. Where most systems in the market were built for standardized, securitized, or bank-regulated loan products, PCS/1 was built from the ground up for private credit, a market that by design sits outside those standardized parameters.

The Problem We Built PCS/1 to Solve

Why Off-the-Shelf Software Doesn't Work for Private Credit

Most loan markets are highly standardized. They’re built to flow into securitized products or to satisfy bank regulatory frameworks, which means the software supporting them can be standardized too.

Private markets, and asset-based lending in particular, doesn’t work that way. Every transaction is governed by its own credit agreement, dense documents of bespoke terms, custom covenant definitions, and collateral eligibility criteria that don’t repeat from deal to deal.

To build a system that actually works for this market, you need to understand both the credit side and the technology side at the same time. That combination is rare, and it’s the reason a true off-the-shelf solution for complex ABL has never really existed. PCS/1 exists to close that gap.

What PCS/1 Does

Built for the Complexity Other Systems Avoid

Four capabilities that set PCS/1 apart from generic loan administration software.

Large-Scale Collateral Testing

Processes tens of thousands of lines of collateral against eligibility criteria and concentration limits, at a scale manual processes and spreadsheets can't sustain.

Complex Cash Flow & Covenant Logic

Handles intricate cash sweep and interest capitalization methodologies, and lets our team build and apply complex loan covenant rules to a transaction efficiently, without forcing bespoke deals into rigid templates. Transactions don’t have to have a separate spreadsheet to track critical components that don’t fit in a system.

Portfolio-Level Visibility

Lets users view multiple loans, instruments and assets across a single borrower, or aggregate collateral types across an entire portfolio of transactions for a complete, single picture of exposure, performance trends and cash flow events.

Forecasting & Structural Tracking

Creates multiple sets of forecasted cash flows and tests them against realized cash flow over time, while tracking both back-leverage and incentive structures across a transaction.

Technology should make operations easier—not create more work.

Our platform helps clients spend less time managing processes and more time managing investments.

Built on Proven Infrastructure

Enterprise-Grade Technology, Purpose-Built for This Market

PCS/1 is accessible from the web and is highly secure, operating on a best in class technology stack, giving it the reliability, security and scalability of modern enterprise infrastructure combined with the flexibility needed for bespoke private credit transactions.

How Clients Experience PCS/1

From Onboarding to Ongoing Visibility

Clients access their information through dynamic, dashboard-based reporting that is fully configurable with views covering individual loans, assets, collateral types, and full portfolios. A web-based client portal presents data sets and reporting in a comprehensive and intuitive user interface.

This is the layer that turns Oak Branch into an extension of a client’s own team: the technology handles the scale and complexity, while our specialists apply the expertise each transaction requires.

What's Next for PCS/1

The Platform Is Evolving

PCS/1 was built first to power how our own team manages client transactions. That won’t change. But the roadmap ahead is expanding what the platform can do and who can access it directly.

Included in the licensing model will be private equity and trial balance capabilities to further expand the operational footprint that PCS/1 already covers.
