Oversight across hundreds of advisers without slowing any of them down.

  • Multi-firm hierarchy & permissions
  • File-check sampling workflows
  • Network-wide MI & proc-fee reporting
  • Panel and procuration management

Outcome: Live visibility of risk and pipeline across every appointed representative.

Lenders & building societies

A modern intermediary channel without replacing your core banking system.

  • Branded broker portal
  • Automated decisions in principle
  • Underwriter workbench & conditions
  • Criteria publishing to brokers

Outcome: Complete, structured submissions that move straight into underwriting.

Commercial & specialist

For brokers and lenders working in commercial, company buy-to-let, bridging and development finance.

  • Rental-cover and DSCR calculations
  • Bridging exit-strategy tracking
  • Development drawdown schedules

Outcome: Complex cases modelled properly, not squeezed into residential screens.
