# Byte Software

An origination platform carried as a catalogue entry of its own alongside the generalised origination adapter.

Byte Software is one of the systems of record a loan is read from and written to. The catalogue models this integration as an entry of its own rather than as a configuration of the general adapter, so it is an integration as well as a vendor.

The vendor's own software is also installable inside a customer's cloud account through Host, for cases where loan data is not permitted to leave that account.

No specification for the integration survives in the recorded definitions. The generalised adapter above it is LOS.

- **waterfall priority** — One line naming where this vendor sits in the vertical's ordering.

- **status call** — Activating the vendor for a lender, optionally with the lender's own credentials.
