The re-keying tax: what eight systems really cost you

By the Loanboxd team

A single loan crosses a POS, Encompass, Optimal Blue, doc prep, closing, then MSP for servicing. At each border, someone re-enters data that already existed two systems ago.

Once in labor, once in errors, once in the reconciliation calls that exist only to confirm two systems agree. None of it adds value to the borrower.
