Quandis Unveils QLS, a Comprehensive Default Management Platform

Quandis Loan Servicing (QLS) enables servicers and their vendor networks to efficiently and compliantly automate the lifecycle of loans in default

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., Feb. 19, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Quandis, Inc., a leading provider of default servicing software, announced that it launched Quandis Loan Servicing (QLS), an end-to-end default management platform that automates and compliantly manages the default process from start to finish. QLS is offered as an all-in-one system and also as modules so various components can be leveraged by servicers based on individual needs.

QLS is a completely browser-based solution that is delivered on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis for servicers of all types and sizes. Core components of QLS include: 1) A suite of robust default servicing modules. 2) Custom configurable workflows, document management, and business rules all packaged within a business user change management system. 3) Key vendor data services are available such as title, bankruptcy, and SCRA services.

“The default servicing systems that are currently available in the mortgage industry are antiquated and fall short of what servicers truly need to operate efficiently, nimbly and compliantly in today’s fast-moving, challenging, regulatory intensive business environment,” said Scott Stoddard, CEO of Quandis. “In order to effectively handle the complexities and many nuances in a very fluid marketplace, servicers need extremely configurable, flexible, agile technology. QLS’ contemporary and highly configurable design decidedly trumps anything on the market.”

The QLS end-to-end default management platform has a service-oriented architecture (SOA) design that consists of modular applications and piecemeal services to choose from, which can easily be turned on or off. This allows organizations to utilize Quandis to automate select parts of their default processes, and use additional vendors and/or in-house technologies for other areas.

At the core of QLS is Quandis Business Objects (QBO), which provides non-technical business people with a user friendly web browser interface that puts them completely in charge of workflow, business rules, document and contact management, and configurations without needing the assistance of IT. As a result, business analysts are able to create and control workflows themselves, drive internal processes and solution development, quickly respond and adapt to market conditions, implement new compliance and state-based rules, and much more.

“One of the biggest advantages that QLS offers is the ability for business analysts to easily create, deploy and manage configurations and business rules,” said Eric Patrick, CTO at Quandis. “QLS was completely built with the business user in mind to empower them with an intuitive web browser interface that allows them to manage and make adjustments to critical areas within the lifecycle of defaults, and have real-time visibility and loan pipeline status.”

Stoddard continued: “In 1995, I founded one of the mortgage industry’s most dominant default management technology platforms, which has since been bought and sold multiple times and is still in use today by leading servicers and their foreclosure attorney networks. As the servicing space became more complicated and compliance intensive, we observed an increasing need for more contemporary, advanced technology than what is currently available. These challenges spawned the development of QLS.”

Key components of QLS include:
– Default Servicing modules: Loss mitigation, collections, short sales, loan modifications, deeds in lieu, foreclosure, bankruptcy (including POC and MFR), evictions, and REO.
– Data vendor integration: Title, Pub and Post, SCRA, Pacer and EFN, and Credit.
– Enterprise modules: document imaging and production, workflow, business rules, contact management, messaging, work queuing and load balancing, analytics, and reporting.

QLS integrates seamlessly with servicing platforms, attorney case management systems (CMS), accounting systems and third party applications. Various QLS modules are already in use by a GSE, major loan servicers, a publicly traded specialty financial services firm, default attorneys and other servicing entities.

Quandis Responds to White House Request to Partner with Banks and Servicers for New Military Personnel Program

Launch of Quandis Servicemember Outreach (QSO) website checks the Department of Defense’s database for SCRA active duty status and facilitates proactive service member contact efforts 

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., Dec. 2, 2014 – Quandis, Inc., a leading provider of mortgage servicing software, announced that it rolled out a website to help address President Obama’s New Executive Actions to assist service members, veterans and their families.

In an official press release issued by the White House on August 26, 2014, President Obama outlined a program termed a “voluntary partnership” with financial lenders across the country to help deliver important financial and home loan-related protections to the military community.  Part of the program is to prevent foreclosures on active duty personnel in accordance with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) of 2003 by proactively querying the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) for status no less than once a quarter, according to the White House.

As a result, Quandis launched QSO (Quandis Servicemember Outreach), a website with back-end technology that allows lending entities to easily upload and scrub their loan portfolios in order to accurately identify active military service members.  QSO performs detailed data scrubs of the Department of Defense (DoD) website that includes name permutation, validation and normalization.  This means that all possible active duty military personnel name variations and statuses are checked to ensure SCRA compliance.

“The White House has spoken loud and clear:  banks and servicers must make every possible attempt to locate active military personnel, make them fully aware of their benefits, and adhere to the SCRA,” stated Scott Stoddard, CEO of Quandis.  “It is completely remiss of banks and servicers to ignore the White House’s request to partner with them and bring relief to service members, veterans and their families.”

QSO also arms servicers and banks with information to proactively reach out to individuals that have been identified as being eligible for various benefits under SCRA, notify them of their options, and simplify the application process.

QSO provides dashboards and reporting for each search activity and a history log along with the ability to generate docs, reach out to borrowers via email, and track outreach program efforts and responses.

Several large banks and mega lenders have already partnered with the White House and committed to implementing its provisions.  The official White House news release, as issued by the Office of the Press Secretary, can be found here.

Quandis has an existing standalone military search service that is currently in use by foreclosure attorneys, servicers, banks, lenders and third party outsource providers.  Organizations can learn more about the new Quandis Servicemember Outreach (QSO) website by visiting https://qso.quandis.net.   On the website is a brief video that describes the program in greater detail.
