The challenge
The Waterstone leadership team is continually studying data, both to refine its own operations, and to benchmark how the company performs compared to the competition. But orchestrating that analysis wasn’t easy — or fast. The needed a more efficient way to gather and interpret data.
The solution
With Insights, Waterstone regularly benchmarks their production against the collective production of other ICE Mortgage Technology clients. They not only use the benchmark data in Insights to confirm that the company continually closes faster than industry averages, but also funnel this information into marketing campaigns.
“Ultimately, we’re gathering the data that’s important to the organization and presenting it to people in real time, so they can make better decisions, and have a better overall view of how we’re performing as a company.”
