Template Library
Prebuilt and customizable invoice templates that support conditional fields, formulas for prorations and calculations, and placeholders that auto-fill from loan or CRM records to minimize errors and speed creation.
Using Google as an invoice authoring platform speeds template creation, enables collaboration across teams, and reduces manual entry errors while integrating with eSignature providers to maintain signature integrity and tracking.
Loan officers generate initial fee estimates and borrower invoices, collaborating with underwriting and closing to update itemized charges. They need templates that auto-populate borrower and loan details from CRM or loan origination systems and clear signing steps for borrowers and co-borrowers.
Closing coordinators finalize invoices, collect signatures, and bundle invoice records with settlement documents. Their role requires sequential signing, timestamping, and verified audit trails to support funding and post-closing audits.
Mortgage operations rely on a mix of roles—each requiring specific access to create, approve, or archive invoices within Google-driven workflows.
Role-based access and clear approval steps help reduce errors and ensure regulatory and audit readiness across these teams.
Prebuilt and customizable invoice templates that support conditional fields, formulas for prorations and calculations, and placeholders that auto-fill from loan or CRM records to minimize errors and speed creation.
Support for text, numeric, checkbox, date, and calculated fields plus options for required fields and conditional logic to enforce completeness before signature collection.
Ability to send identical invoices to multiple recipients or batches with individualized data merges and tracking, reducing manual sends and centralizing status reporting for large servicing actions.
Sequential or parallel signing, signer authentication options, and flexible signing methods (email link, in-person, mobile) with legally admissible evidence of intent and time stamps.
Immutable logs that record every action—views, sends, signatures, IP addresses, and timestamps—supporting compliance reviews and dispute resolution requirements.
Configurable retention, export, and legal hold capabilities that align with mortgage recordkeeping policies and regulatory obligations for document preservation.
Native editing in Docs and Sheets plus Drive storage enables collaborative invoice drafting, version history, and easy sharing across underwriting, closing, and accounting teams while maintaining a single authoritative file.
Bi-directional imports from LOS platforms reduce duplicate entry by populating borrower, loan, and fee fields directly into invoice templates and exporting finalized charges back to the LOS for record keeping.
Sync borrower contact details and communication history with the invoice workflow to ensure accurate billing addresses, consolidated communication logs, and consistent customer records across sales and servicing.
Automatic saving of signed invoices and audit trails to secure cloud repositories supports retention policies, searchability, and disaster recovery while centralizing access controls.
