Enhanced InsurTech app drives 3x sales growth
in just two years
Taking your business online is a challenge, and the mortgage industry isn’t the most digital-friendly to begin with. But an Illinois-based mortgage originator has overcome struggles traditionally associated with online loan applications and was on its path to digital transformation.
Founded in 2001 as an Illinois-based mortgage originator, the Company operated across 13 states and expanded into the wholesale channel in 2008. In 2017, the Company announced a strategic hiatus due to the oversaturated lending market and slipping lending standards. Today, the Company switched to a technology-driven model and is back with a custom and fully-owned robust document processing CRM system.
