Mortgage Adviser

The Problem

A respected and long established business providing independent ‘whole of market’ mortgage and loan advice was finding it time consuming to generate and maintain suitable documents in Microsoft Word, maintain customer details in a readily accessible format, and locate supporting documentation within an extensive manual filing system.

This process took too much training, took too long, was far too expensive, and by being complex led to more issues arising than the management team would have preferred.  Using paper records meant that there was also an issue with one staff member having the records when another staff member needed access to them.

The Solution

A review of the business was undertaken and it was agreed that Synergy should be installed and a specialist Mortgage Adviser Module should be created which should be used to provide the required functionality.  A specification was drawn up, and it was agreed that the module would be created and its features added in gradually over a period of time to enable staff to get used to the idea and to be able to prove each part of the solution as it was introduced.

The Results

Most of the initial requirements were met ‘out of the box’ using standard features:

  • Mutli-User Access ensured that data could be accessed by any staff member at any time, regardless of who else might be actually looking at the records
  • Customer Details were instantly available with real time editing and CRM features on tap
  • Dedicated Account Notes for each customer meant that the recording of customer interactions became quick and easy, and staff could easily see details of any previous contacts and communications allowing them to answer customer questions that would otherwise have had to wait for the availability of a specific staff member.
  • Attaching Files and Documents to individual customers meant that there was no longer any need to search for them – they were instantly available within the customer record
  • Unlimited Contacts and Addresses for each customer meant that any number of people could be included in the records and therefore in any mortgage or loan application
  • Meeting the criteria of the regulatory bodies became easier, quicker, and less expensive to administer
  • To Do List items could be added automatically to any Customer, and assigned to any member of staff for action, with management overview of progress throughout

In addition the new Mortgage Adviser Module allowed all the relevant details of applicants and their circumstances to be automatically collated from the Customer record and inserted into a ‘Fact Find’ or ‘Personal Mortgage Questionnaire’ document which could be saved for further editing as well as being automatically attached back to the customer account, all by simply right clicking on the customer name and selecting a single menu item.

What our customers say

Back in 2015 and with much trepidation we took on the Synergy accounting software. Being a bit of a technophobe I was very concerned about keeping it up to date and everything in order, particularly as I hate anything to do with figures. The support has been immense and I am sure he must think that he is my accountant sometimes, however, he never makes me feel that I am being a pain in the neck, although I am sure he dreads my number coming up on his phone. Synergy does everything that my company needs, in spite of the me. When it came to the year-end accounts, it was just a case of printing off some reports and sending them off to the accountant. This leaves me in a position to renegotiate my accountants fee, as most of the work is done for him. After using Excel and trying Zero, Synergy has been well worth the investment and with the magnificent support... it is unbeatable.
