Cloudvirga, a leading provider of digital mortgage point-of-sale (POS) software whose enterprise technology is powered by the Intelligent Mortgage Platform, announced its completion of a fully automated, lights-out integration with Mercury Network, part of CoreLogic and one of the industry’s largest appraisal order management platforms. The integration makes appraisal ordering and management more efficient and compliant for Cloudvirga’s lender customers, thereby reducing overall loan production costs, the company announced in a release.
Cloudvirga’s intelligent appraisal engine ensures efficiency and compliance throughout the appraisal lifecycle by accurately determining which appraisal forms are required for a given property location, loan amount, loan type and loan program. The seamless integration allows Cloudvirga customers to place appraisal orders directly to Mercury Network without the lender or customer having to rekey information or leave Cloudvirga’s POS platform, the release said.
“Cloudvirga’s integration with Mercury Network streamlines not just appraisal ordering, but the entire appraisal process for noticeable gains in origination efficiency,” Cloudvirga Product Manager Matt Howard said. “Lenders can feel more confident than ever in the compliance of their collateral valuation thanks to Cloudvirga’s careful analysis of myriad data points, including loan program details, to ensure the right appraisal forms are ordered the first time, every time.”
Once the appraisal order is placed, appraisal documents and order statuses are automatically synced between Cloudvirga and Mercury Network, and the loan file is updated in real time. As soon as the appraisal report is complete, Cloudvirga alerts both the lender and the consumer and delivers the appraisal report via its secure portal. This unique, fully automated workflow reduces human effort while satisfying compliance requirements for appraisal delivery.
“Mercury Network’s product suite is used by almost 1,000 lenders and appraisal management companies nationwide,” Mercury Network (CoreLogic) President Jennifer Miller said in the release. “We’re proud to integrate with Cloudvirga to give our mutual customers a truly seamless integration that makes appraisal ordering and delivery faster with greater accuracy and enhanced overall lending efficiency.”
