Document Collection & Verification

Q: Will staff still need to review documents?

Yes, staff review flagged documents that fail validation checks or contain exceptions. The automation handles routine verification and data extraction, freeing staff to focus on complex cases and compliance oversight.

Q: Does the automation work with our existing CRM and email?

The automation integrates with HubSpot, Gmail, Google Drive, and Adobe Sign. It works alongside your current tools without requiring replacement or migration of existing data.

Q: What happens to documents already in our system?

Existing documents remain in place. The automation begins processing new submissions immediately upon launch and can be configured to backfill historical records if needed.

Q: How does the automation handle missing or illegible documents?

The automation flags incomplete or illegible documents and automatically sends a request for resubmission to the borrower. Staff are notified of exceptions for manual follow-up if needed.

Keep loan files moving by automating document requests, reminders, and verification checks before they stall a deal.
