Quickly review loan applications for maximum efficiency | Kiosk Studio Session #5
Hello everyone,
Let's take a lending institution as the context for this session. A lot of people apply for loans, and the process of reviewing these applications can be labor-intensive and time-consuming. This process is handled by loan officers and underwriters at lending institutions.
Before underwriting, loan officers conduct an initial review to ensure:
- Only well-prepared applications reach underwriters.
- Eligible borrowers receive faster turnaround times.
However, managers noticed bottlenecks in the initial review stage. Many applications stalled, and those that passed still had issues. Loan officers manually opened CRM records, checked multiple modules for details, updated statuses, and sent emails—for each application. Because of this, they felt overwhelmed when reviewing applications alongside other priority tasks. You can see this from the perspective of a loan officer:
The CRM admin proposed Kiosk Studio to speed up reviews while ensuring consistency and compliance.
The proposed workflow
- Loan applications needing review appear on loan officers’ CRM homepages.
- Officers access consolidated details on the loan, borrower, and loan type.
- Officers can approve, request more information, or decline applications with one click.
- Status updates and email notifications are automated.
Managers approved, and the CRM admin went ahead with the implementation. Loan officers tested it and found the process significantly easier. Let's watch a loan officer zoom through the review of submitted applications without leaving the home page:
The results:
- Faster processing times.
- Increased consistency and compliance.
- Kiosks in the daily workflow.
Configuration
This kiosk was configured using screens, a GetRecords component to get the list of loan applications, a query to bring in data from three modules in a single go, and automated actions (field updates and email notifications).
