What a portal does
A portal is a website where your brokers or dealers submit deals. They enter the customer, the equipment, and the documents. The deal lands in your LOS without re-typing.
Solifi describes connected workflows across the lifecycle. Portal capability is part of that story. Confirm the exact portal module and its cost with the vendor.
Why portals change deal quality
A good portal forces complete submissions. It can require fields and documents before a broker can hit send. That means fewer half-files landing in your inbox.
It also gives the broker status visibility. That cuts the 'where is my deal' phone calls your team fields all day.
Measure the follow-up effect
Faster, cleaner intake can lift how many quotes turn into funded deals. Use the scenario tool below. Enter your leads, a modest conversion lift, and your gross profit per deal. Subtract the software cost.
This is a scenario. It does not prove the software causes the lift. It shows you the size of effect that would justify the cost.
Portal demo checks
- Submit a deal as a broker would. Count the required fields.
- Show how a broker sees status without calling you.
- Show how your team rejects an incomplete file back to the broker.
- Ask how the portal is priced and whether it ships as a separate module.
What brokers actually want
Brokers want three things from a portal: fast answers, clear status, and no surprises on fees. If your portal is slow or confusing, brokers send deals to your competitor instead.
Ask the vendor how a broker learns the portal and what training exists. A portal is only as good as its adoption.
