Loan Officer Portal

• The previous experience was heavily reliant on Excel files, emails, and personal relationships to function.
• All issues required the Loan Officer to call their Loan Officer directly, leading to delays and inefficiencies.
• There was no automated notification system, so updates had to be manually communicated.
• There was no centralized system for tracking issues, causing confusion and duplicated efforts.
• Loan Officers had to manually track the status of their clients' applications, leading to errors and missed deadlines.
• It was impossible for external groups to do anything in the system without manual intervention.
• Despite these issues, the system supported 2400 mortgages and 96 Loan Officers across 2 cities, indicating its core functionality was effective.

• Wiremap shows the flow of the experience.
• Opportunity to layout information architecture, without all of the details.
• Quickly get buy-in from stakeholders.
• Developers could understand the flow and dependencies of the MVP quickly and start giving a basic T-shirt size.

The dashboard provides an overview of key metrics and allows Loan Officers to track the status of client applications efficiently. This allowed us to explore vizualizations. Creating the a central hub for all content would be a huge step forward.Go to Dashboard Project
