VERTACORE

Borrower application

Modern step-wizard — tap-to-advance choice cards, autosave & resume, conditional paths (purchase/refi, self-employed, co-borrower), self-building review screen. Quick app and full URLA included as templates.

Low-code builders

Drag-and-drop forms with 20+ field types, multi-step journey designer, state-machine workflows with tasks & document requests, visual + SQL report builder, PDF template designer, custom tokens.

Automation & APIs

Admin-authored API endpoints publish any report or form as a secure integration; a scheduler runs reports, exports, and workflows on a cron; an event registry wires platform events to actions.

Encompass, deeply

Bidirectional field sync on a 466-field admin-managed registry: pipeline, milestones, documents, rate locks, loan creation, one-click deep sync, diff-based write-back with dry-run safety.

Inside the LOS

An embedded companion runs inside the loan officer's Encompass window — two-way borrower texting, keyword-driven authorization workflows, live loan-party recipients. Support for ICE's next-generation Encompass Web is already built.

Credit & authorizations

Soft-pull credit ordering through the bureau integration, and text-message authorizations: the borrower replies a keyword, the platform files the signed authorization letter to the eFolder and stamps the loan.

Payments, PCI-light

SMS/email payment requests, hosted pay page (card + ACH) with in-browser tokenization — card data never touches our servers (SAQ A posture) — receipts, and automatic Encompass fee write-back.

Communications

Two-way SMS with consent management, templated email, automated messages routed by party role, NPS surveys, and coordinate-placed e-sign with multi-recipient counter-signing.

Document intelligence

Uploaded paystubs, bank statements, and W-2s are read in our own cloud — fields extracted, the application pre-filled, disagreements flagged for staff review. Raw documents never sent to an outside AI.

Autonomous follow-up

The platform notices a stalled application or an overdue document and chases it conversationally over text — consent-gated, with AI-drafted replies staff approve before anything sends.

The realtor channel

Self-serve pre-approval letters the borrower or their agent regenerates at any offer price within LO-set bounds, plus a referring-agent portal with live milestones and document status — firewalled to borrower name and contact info only.

Multi-tenant white-label

Parent portal authors the golden experience; one-click distribution to child portals with drift detection. Each child re-skins the entire product — colors, type, logo — from a branding editor.

LO & ops surfaces

LOS-synced pipeline, loan detail with live milestones, docs, rate locks, loan-team assignment, custom fields, and one-click Encompass sync & push — plus an installable staff workspace.

Installable & passwordless

A progressive web app borrowers and staff install on any device, with passkey (biometric) sign-in, push notifications, and a mobile-first surface on every screen.

Onboarding kit

Import/export bundles, a template library, and tiered module entitlements — a new lender portal stands up from templates in days, not implementation quarters.

Directional comparison based on public product documentation. Configuration ≠ composition: incumbents allow parameter changes inside vendor-defined structures; LenderCX lets the lender author the structures themselves.
