Solving Fundera's Challenges: Streamlining Workflows and Enhancing Visibility
Learn about Fundera's hurdles and their transformational journey with FileInvite, where challenges became opportunities.
The Challenges
- Long turnaround times
- Massive spreadsheets and lists
- No visibility across teams and workflow
- Disconnected systems and double handling
The Tipping Point
Working out of spreadsheets, receiving attachments in emails and with 20 to 30 documents to juggle across every application, Fundera were looking for a total solution to their document collection workflow. Their first priority was having a simple intuitive process for their clients to use. Their second, visibility across their loan pipeline.
- Ryan Murdock, Sales Operations Manager, Fundera
After an initial discovery meeting with the FileInvite Enterprise team a workflow analysis and proof of concept detailed the productivity gains that could be accomplished. A system to eradicate the spreadsheets used for tracking documents and a way to gain visibility over their loan pipeline.
Client feedback was that they were impressed with the intuitive client portals. The seamless digital experience for their customers, enabling them to ditch the struggle of email attachments and complete forms online rather than printing, scanning and completing by hand.
As FileInvite is a cloud based application it could be deployed quickly with minimal setup required.
Scaling the use of FileInvite, Fundera were able to rapidly onboard the entire sales and processing team. Using master templates, they ensured everyone has the latest contracts, updated conditions and any regulatory requirements covered.
