The Lending Business is Evolving

The residential lending business is feeling the impact of hungry new entrants and changing borrower expectations. Level the technology playing field by adopting and integrating cutting edge tech to modernize your mortgage operations and adapt to the digital age. Blanc Labs is ready to provide advice, solutions, and services to help lenders swiftly transition to a future-ready mortgage business.

Our Process

Business Process Mapping Discovery

Most of our clients have an existing lending process and enterprise technology to support their lending function. During this initial phase, our business process consultants conduct a comprehensive survey of the people, processes, and technologies that run your business.  From there, we develop a robust business process map that is a powerful artifact to analyze from a business process improvement and process re-engineering perspective.  This engagement becomes the blueprint for subsequent phases to focus on technology development, data integration, and automation. Often the outcomes of this phase will include a change management function as well.

Understanding Risk Requirements

Before designing and developing a solution, we meticulously capture our client’s risk calculation requirements. This ensures that our solution is tailored precisely to meet their specific needs and effectively address their risk assessment challenges.

Optimize Workflows

We optimize workflows while prioritizing compliance and efficiency. Our solutions are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for integration of new workflows and calculation methods to meet future business needs. This ensures adaptability and scalability of lending automation platforms as your organization evolves and expands.

Integration

During the integration phase, we prioritize creating flexibility in our solutions to integrate with your Systems of Record and other 3rd party platforms. This ensures a smooth and efficient integration process, allowing for streamlined data flow and enhanced functionality across multiple platforms.

Fast-tracked Product Delivery

We employ agile methodology to expedite product delivery, allowing us to achieve early wins and rapid progress. By embracing an iterative and flexible approach, we ensure efficient development cycles, quick feedback loops, and timely delivery of valuable solutions to our clients.

Building the Business Case

Building the Business Case

Accelerate Lending Decisions

Invest in modern origination and underwriting tools that reduce manual data entry effort and verify data accuracy. This is an incredibly powerful first step to speeding up funding cycles. 

Improve Data Governance

Understanding risk is everything in the lending business.  Lenders need industry leading tools to improve data quality, from point of origination to validation, and adopting best practices around data storage and integration.

Make Work Meaningful

There is a global competition for talent and lenders looking to attract and retain top talent should focus on improving employee experience by reducing the amount of manual work employees have to do.

We use the Statement Share tool, created by Blanc Labs using Flinks APIs, at deal origination. There are various use cases for us, but the tool is a crucial part of our verification process that assesses whether what borrowers have stated in their applications is true. Thanks to the API, we are seeing statements and factual data directly from their banks.
