eGrabber Case Study: Mortgage Industry | 2009-01-01 | eGrabber |
| Mortgage Warehouse needed an efficient way to import, process and respond to mortgage loan requests coming from their web partner's website (www.lendingtree.com). Their web partner, LendingTree, enables consumers to shop for best loan rates. Consumer's would go to LendingTree website and submit one mortgage loan application and wait for lender's to compete for their business. LendingTree enables competition by making the consumer's loan application available to a network of lenders at the same time. eGrabber proposed a low cost solution which would tie the XML data flow of leads from the LendingTree front end into Mortgage Warehouse's GoldMine. Both the low cost and the existing GoldMine connectivity inherent in the eMail-Lead Grabber application made this the best choice for Mortgage Warehouse.
