FORTA SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES WAREHOUSE LENDING PLATFORM F orta Solutions has announced the up- coming launch of Agility, a new ware- house lending platform. Designed by warehouse lenders, Agility represents a major leap forward in the industry, offering flexibility, transparency, and efficiency. Agility was designed and built by fintech provider Forta Solutions, whose co-founders have proven success in launching busi- nesses in warehouse lending and mortgage technology. Forta Solutions Co-Founder and CEO Kathy Hancock previously founded Avlis Partners, LLC. Forta Co-Founder and Chairman Chris Saitta has successfully launched numerous mortgage technology companies, including Equator, Resitrader, and LauraMac. "We know firsthand how frustrating and costly it can be dealing with outdated technology and manual processes," Hancock said. "Technology in the warehouse lending sector has been overdue for some innovation. With Agility, we've designed a platform that's modular-based and simple to integrate, mak- ing it fully customizable to our clients' needs without any added expenses." Agility was specifically designed to simplify the workload of mortgage lenders, who frequently staff up at the end of every month to close loans on time. With Agility, lenders can expect a faster, safer path to warehouse liquidity. The platform's reporting and real-time dashboards empower users to see exactly what they need without having to download data and compile reports manu- ally. Agility includes automated decisioning engines designed to do the heavy lifting for lenders, ensuring funds flow more quickly. "Agility's rich integrations enable the plat- form to seamlessly blend with a client's in- ternal systems and their third-party vendors' systems," Hancock said. "As data comes in, we run rules against it, so lenders only have to look at items that failed—they don't need to look at everything."
