CRM for Modern Mortgage Brokers

Do not waste any time chasing down client information. Our System will send your clients information requests, allowing them to fill out and upload their data and documents to a secure link, leaving the fact-finding to the client, not you. SwiftCase’s Mortgage System cuts out unnecessary meetings and speeds up traditionally long and inefficient ways of collecting data.

Our System will remember your Clients’ details. If you create a new enquiry for an existing client, SwiftCase will pre-populate all the information fields with the client’s details, saving you and your employees time, and increasing efficiency.

Have a look through the Mortgage Enquiry Workflow below to discover how our innovative automation technology could work for you.

  1. Click the green Create New Task button at the top right of the dashboard.

  1. This will take you to the Create Task page. Search for the Applicant Group in the Search subject box and select it. The Applicant Group could be the family name of a married couple, the Company name of a business applying for a mortgage, or any group of individuals. Then choose the Applicant from the dropdown that appears, or click New beside it to add one. Applicants are the individuals applying for the mortgage. At this point you will only need to collect the contact details (email/contact number) of the main applicant, as they will fill in the bulk of the fact-find themselves, and add any additional applicant information on the task. Choose the Mortgage Enquiry workflow and click the Create Task button.

The Create Task page, where you choose who the task is for and its workflow.

  1. This will take you to the Task page for that applicant, at New Enquiry. Select from the Enquiry Type dropdown box, the route in which the Applicants found your company. If this was an Estate Agent Enquiry, add the Estate Agents they came from in the Assign Estate Agent dropdown box. Choose a Broker to handle the enquiry, and put in the appointment date and time agreed with the applicant. Once these fields are filled out, click the Save button, then click Next below the form. This will update the status of the task to Configure Document Requirements.

  1. List all the documents you need from your Applicant(s) in the Documents required box and click the Add Required Documents button. You can add multiple Required Documents, by re-clicking the Add Required Documents button. Choose the document type from the Next document type dropdown so that the applicant will be informed later in the workflow.

  1. Once all the required documents have been added, click the Documents Configured button. This will move the Task status along to Appointment Awaiting- Pending Client Data’ and will automatically send out an email to the Applicant(s) providing them with a link, where they can fill out any additional information and upload the required documents. This drastically reduces time wasted going through documents and information face-to-face, benefiting both your business and your customers. Once the Applicant(s) have submitted any information and documents, the link will be inaccessible to anyone, increasing security and peace of mind

The information and documents submitted by the Applicant(s) via the link, will automatically populate the Client data panel on the Task page, and then move the Task status on to Appointment Awaiting- Verify Client Data. You can also put the Application on hold by clicking the red On Hold button. This will update the Task status to On Hold.

To Verify the client data is correct, and they have uploaded the correct documents, check the Documents received box and click the Document Verified or the Document Not Verified button below the form. If you decline a document, an email will be sent to the Applicant(s) requesting additional data. Once all the documents have been verified, the Task Status will move to Awaiting Appointment - Data Collection Complete.

To rearrange the Appointment, you can do so by clicking the Re-arrange Appointment button. This will take you back to the New Enquiry status so you can put in a new appointment date. Once you have had the Appointment, record what you learned about loans, buy-to-let arrangements and current property details in the After the appointment panel. From here you can click the Prepare AIP, Prepare Application or Client Not Proceeding buttons, or the red On Hold button.
