BDS launches online system

With over 5,500 licensed users nationwide, D@shboard software supplied by Nereus Infotek Ltd, is the UK’s leading web based mortgage processing system offering real-time case tracking and linking into 3rd party software such as Trigold. BDS brokers will now be able to access the BDS system 24/7 to gain an update on any cases submitted with them. To promote this even more, BDS have developed a standardised glossary of D@shboard terminology so any comments and issues can be picked up, understood and dealt with.

Southampton based Meridian Home Loans were involved in the pre-launch pilot and now submit a sizeable portion of their BDS business using D@shboard. Managing Director Kevin Nugent comments: “In the two months we have been using the system, it has certainly proved its worth in the day-to-day monitoring of our cases. The time we used to spend simply checking whether our team at BDS had received a case and what actions were due to take place on it can now be spent more productively, helping our team focus instead on the cases that need that little bit of extra attention.” He continues, “We've seen an improvement in turnaround time on the processing of our cases too and being able to give a client an up to the minute update certainly gives you the competitive edge.”

BDS plan to roll-out full online submission in the forthcoming months and will notify brokers in due course.

Phil Jay, Managing Director, BDS comments: “At BDS not only are we introducing even more value added services to our broker contacts, but we are proactively raising standards across the board in advance of regulation. Systems like D@shboard will play a key role after October 31st and we are keen to encourage our brokers to register and use the system. I am confident that once they do, they will find it not just easy to use but invaluable to their business.”

David Jones, Joint Managing Director, Nereus Infotek Ltd, “BDS have been using our D@shboard system in house for over a year now and we are very pleased that it has been a success. BDS now plan to open the case tracking module of D@shboard to the their brokers, this will certainly change the way the brokers work in the future for the better. BDS are leading the way for the other Packagers and networks on service standards. With more developments on the way, we are positive things will only get better!”
