This allows them to proceed with files more quickly, accurately, and confidently. "The ability to create, sync, and track conditions within Inspect gives mort- gage lenders a core decisioning engine to underwrite applications faster and with greater accuracy," said Vik Dua, President of Ocrolus. "We've heard from lenders in our early rollout that with these enhancements, they expect to re- duce underwriter touches by up to 75%, while doubling the number of loans they can process with the same staff." The solution closes the gap between insight and action to optimize work- flows and boost operational efficiency by allowing users to modify conditions directly within the platform, which sim- plifies discrepancy management. "Inspect has made a big difference for our business," said Paola Patino, Regional Processing Manager at Neigh- borhood Loans. "Our opening team uses Inspect at the very beginning of the file to catch discrepancies, like misspelled borrower names, incorrect dates of birth, or mismatches between the property address and the purchase contract, that we wouldn't have caught otherwise. It's fantastic."
