Transform mortgage workflows with AI: Eliminate costs and boost agility

17 Apr 2025
featured transform mortgage workflows with AI

Mortgage lenders today face a critical challenge: replacing outdated, manual workflows with smarter, scalable solutions.  With  AI-powered mortgage automation from Ocrolus, lenders can reduce origination costs, eliminate inefficiencies, and stay competitive in any market cycle.

Transforming cost centers into efficiency drivers with AI

Mortgage origination costs continue to climb, putting pressure on lenders to reduce expenses while maintaining service quality. According to a 2024 Freddie Mac report, mortgage origination costs have increased 35%—or roughly $3,000—over the last three years.

Rather than depending on costly and disruptive staffing adjustments, forward-looking lenders leverage AI and automation to drive continuous efficiency and agile scalability– whatever the markets bring.

With Ocrolus, lenders can implement mortgage automation tools that reduce manual tasks and streamline their lending workflows. Our newest mortgage solution, Inspect, helps lenders cut costs by automatically identifying and resolving data discrepancies within the application process. By minimizing back-and-forth communication and reducing the need for manual validation, Inspect shortens loan cycle times and decreases overall origination costs.

To see how Inspect works in action, watch our quick Inspect video explainer for more details on simplifying data validation.

With AI handling repetitive and time-consuming tasks, mortgage teams can focus on high-value work that matters most—delivering exceptional borrower experiences for their customers.

Simplifying transformation with the right automation partner

A critical decision point for mortgage lenders is whether to build their own proprietary automation tools or partner with a specialized provider. While building in-house solutions may initially appear attractive, it often becomes costly, complicated and hard to sustain over time as many AI models age quickly. For most lenders, partnering with a proven AI-powered data and analytics platform is the faster, more strategic route.

Choosing a comprehensive automation partner like Ocrolus allows mortgage lenders to consolidate their tech stack and streamline their operations. Rather than juggling multiple vendors for document processing, income calculations and fraud detection, lenders can work with a single partner that delivers an end-to-end solution.

At Ocrolus, we go beyond document automation. We empower lenders to uncover insights from borrower data that may otherwise go unnoticed, identify signs of file tampering or inconsistencies during the document review process, all within a single platform.

Discover how lenders can leverage AI to navigate market shifts, reduce operational costs, and future-proof their business.

Empowering mortgage teams to lead with AI

Technology alone isn’t enough—success with AI also requires knowledgeable mortgage professionals who understand how to leverage it effectively. That’s why Ocrolus created the AI-Empowered Mortgage Professional Certification, a free, 60-minute online course designed to help mortgage professionals gain confidence in using AI-powered tools.

The course covers foundational AI concepts, practical applications in mortgage origination and real-world examples of how lenders are streamlining their processes with automation. It’s an essential step for any lender determined to transition away from inefficient manual workflows toward strategically implemented, AI-driven processes.

With the right platform, the right partner and the right training, lenders can confidently tackle rising costs and borrower expectations while positioning themselves for scalable growth.
