Common approachMortgage-first intake workflow
Generic upload portals provide a place to collect files.IntakeDock adds mortgage-specific request, email reply, classification, review, and follow-up context.
Uploads may still need manual matching to the right condition, request, or deal.Deal-specific intake links and aliases are designed to keep submissions closer to the correct deal.
Document categories are often broad or manually created by the team.Mortgage document type suggestions are built around common broker review categories.
The portal may collect files without showing what still needs broker attention.A broker review queue helps teams see missing items, unclear documents, and resubmission needs.
Security posture may be presented as generic file sharing.IntakeDock uses conservative security language, PIPEDA-aligned safeguards, and security materials available by request.

Questions broker teams ask during comparison.
Keep the decision practical: borrower experience, deal mapping, broker review, resubmissions, and recordkeeping support.
Does IntakeDock replace a secure upload portal?
No. IntakeDock includes secure upload links, but the broader value is the mortgage document intake and broker review workflow around those uploads.
Are document suggestions automatic approvals?
No. OCR and classification outputs are suggestions for broker review. IntakeDock does not approve files, assess document authenticity, make lending decisions, or decide whether a customer's compliance obligations have been met.
