Legal & General Mortgage Services has confirmed the full integration of its mortgage research and sourcing platform, SmartrFit, with customer relationship management (CRM) provider, One Mortgage System (OMS).
The move means that OMS broker users will now have free access to the tool and are not subject to any licence fees or contracts.
When OMS brokers select SmartrFit as their sourcing provider they can access SmartrFit’s forms, which are pre-populated with existing data from within OMS customer records, saving them time that they previously would have spent re-keying data.
The SmartrFit platform provides users with a free and complete sourcing solution, giving them access to criteria, affordability, property check and product sourcing tools. Brokers can easily filter and tailor their search results through the integration and use one or more of the tools in combination when needed. Search results, and any documents generated from within SmartrFit, are also available to view within the OMS system, giving brokers access to full case histories when advising their clients.
SmartrFit displays results from over 130 lenders, both on and off the high street, along with real-time updates to criteria, pricing and products.
Head of product and transformation at Legal & General Technology, Jodie White, commented: “We are delighted to integrate our SmartrFit platform with OMS and support its brokers with all their product sourcing and research needs.
“Ongoing cost of living pressures have meant that brokers are dealing with higher volumes of complex cases, and now that they are able to add expenditure for up to four applicants through SmartrFit, they will be better placed to overcome this issue and simplify processes. Additionally, SmartrFit can cut 41 minutes per case, giving brokers more time back to advise these clients in particularly complex circumstances.”
OMS managing director, Neal Jannels, added: “Our integration with SmartrFit is another way that we’re helping advisers work effectively in our fast-paced market. We hope that the cost and timesaving benefits of SmartrFit will give brokers the tools they need to quickly make the right decisions for their clients.
“We appreciate that there can be obstacles for advisers trying to source the best mortgage for their clients, and with the next Consumer Duty deadline soon approaching, we encourage our users to lean on tools like SmartrFit, and our own CRM system, to do the heavy lifting for them.”
