Through the integrated systems, ChannelMaster users can compli- antly order and process appraisals, attain real-time status updates, establish transparency and control, and return completed files directly from the same platform, complete with automated processes to increase efficiencies. "It's important for mortgage lenders to make their processes as seamless as possible to prevent users from having to jump to another application in order to complete tasks," said Vladimir Bien-Aime, president and CEO of Global DMS. "Our integration with the CoreLogic ChannelMaster ELS enables loans to move through the appraisal process unencumbered by manual touch points between systems." In addition, eTrac Enterprise allows ChannelMaster ELS users to efficiently manage multiple appraisal management companies (AMCs) or an in-house appraisal panel depending on their own internal processes and prefer- ences. The solution also allows lenders to order appraisals and assign, track, and deliver loans to the GSEs through the Uniform Collateral Data Portal, helping them avoid buybacks. "By partnering with Global DMS, CoreLogic is now able to offer our clients direct access to an additional network of nation- al appraisers and AMCs without leaving the ChannelMaster plat- form," said Larry Fried, director of product management for the CoreLogic Mortgage Technology Group. "By seamlessly integrat- ing our industry leading LOS [loan origination system] with the Global DMS appraisal man- agement solution, we help our users save time and money and help make their operations more efficient."

"Unlike many LOS platforms on the market, we offer an end- to-end system engineered using the same code base from the ground with a single database that is 100 percent browser- based accessible," Kelly said.
