Underwriting Status Monitoring

Q: Can the automation handle different notification types for borrowers versus brokers?

Yes. The system generates borrower-friendly updates with simple language and broker-focused updates with detailed condition information, all tailored automatically based on recipient type.

Q: Will this work with our current underwriting system?

The automation integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, and other major loan management platforms. Your implementation team will confirm compatibility during the setup phase.

Q: What if a file requires special handling or a manual review?

Critical or unusual files are flagged for your team to review manually. The system handles routine updates automatically while escalating exceptions to the right person.

Q: How are compliance and audit records maintained?

All notifications, status changes, and send times are logged automatically in your CRM or tracking system. No manual entry is required, and a complete audit trail is always available.

Monitoring files sitting in underwriting and flagging ones stalled beyond expected turnaround.
