Name: BFOT System component that includes quoting, pricing, loan interest rates and the ability to electronically upload the loan, once approved, to the LOS.
Purpose: To more accurately and completely capture the quotes given to prospects over the telephone, the Web, and in person, the FlashQuote system is critical for creating a sustained and consistent response across all of LOM.
Overview: The FlashQuote system includes options for customizing a loan depending on its use by a client, including refinancing, valuing of properties, defining of term and rate levels, and any contingencies as well. Also included is the ability to quickly define a probable loan closing date based on the specifics of the loan.
Actors: The sales representatives; business development; prospects and customers are all actors using the system.
Categorization: The categorization of the FlashQuote system is actually multi-disciplinary as it impacts the following departments: Sales; Customer Service; Pricing; Loan Approval and Credit; Loan Fulfillment; and Underwriting.
Triggers: The most common triggering event will be when a prospect either calls a sales representative or visits the LOM web site and requests a quote.
Pre-conditions: The FlashQuote system will be actively tracking previous quotes and responding back to the LOS for real-time updates on pricing and loan rates.
