OpenClose®, an industry-leading multi-channel loan origination system (LOS) and mortgage fintech provider, announced that it is has scheduled a May release for the official rollout of its much anticipated digital mortgage point-of-sale (POS) solution, ConsumerAssist™ Digital POS. This new integrated solution is a unique offering that combines a proven and mature 100 percent browser-based end-to-end LOS and PPE with new state-of-the-art dynamic digital mortgage POS technology.
As a single source vendor for digital POS, LOS, PPE and Business Intelligence, OpenClose is able to slash the loan manufacturing cost and complexity by eliminating the need to cobble together disparate systems with different SLAs, contracts and pricing models.
The self-service POS capabilities that ConsumerAssist Digital POS provides are state-of-the-art and feature rich. Lenders can now automate and organize numerous tasks that would normally be performed in the back-office via the LOS, and push them closer to borrowers earlier in the origination process. As a result, workflow efficiencies increase, the lending process is sped up, costs are reduced and new business is captured at a higher rate and lower cost.
“We feel that lenders leveraging the efficiencies of a single consolidated platform will be able to most effectively sustain and increase profitability in an environment with more competition for fewer loans and tighter margins,” says JP Kelly, president of OpenClose.
Jason Regalbuto, CEO / CTO of OpenClose, adds: “Borrowers today and in the future are expecting streamlined experiences with extreme ease of use and automation like Amazon and Uber offer. Mortgage origination and lending involve very complex processes. We think with ConsumerAssist Digital POS, we have significantly reimagined these processes and workflows for the future and the expectations that borrowers have. We’ve effectively closed the loop between POS and LOS.”

OpenClose also offers ConsumerAssist™ Web which helps establish a consumer direct lending channel by developing websites that engage borrowers with tools to perform much of the application and loan qualification process themselves without involving a salesperson. ConsumerAssist Web can be combined with ConsumerAssist Digital POS, together dubbed ConsumerAssist™ Enterprise, to offer comprehensive self-service technology that manages the bulk of the origination process for lenders.
OpenClose recently announced the availability of a robust RESTful API Suite that the company developed to enable quick system-to-system integrations, seamless data exchange and execution of transactions.
