To aid in the sourcing of vendor partners for mortgage operations, mortgage technology firm Vendor Surf has launched a new search engine that encompasses the entire mortgage ecosystem, from originations through secondary markets, and features an industry-wide vendor directory that supports virtually all industry roles and departments.
The company claims this industry specific free search engine uses custom filters that span more than 75 different vendor categories, thus enabling users to narrow down the field to those value-added partners that best answer the unique requirements of the searcher.
The new site also works as a single educational resource, allowing searchers and directory vendors to promote events, white papers, trade shows, webinars and trainings. It includes “My Dashboard” that lets searchers track their history of vendor profiles viewed and bookmark them for later reference; a “Solution Showcase” that highlights the very latest industry innovations; and weekly polls to gauge what mortgage professionals think about pertinent issues that are impacting the industry.
“We clearly understand the many challenges, so we wanted to create a solution that truly revolutionizes the way vendor partners are sourced in terms of the depth and breadth of the online searches conducted,” says Scott Roller, co-founder of Vendor Surf, in a release. “We view Vendor Surf as a game changer not only for those searching for the perfect vendor, but also for the vendors who are listed on the site. It’s a strategic advantage for them to be listed on Vendor Surf as it is a means to differentiate their businesses while reaching a broad, new universe of potential customers.”
