“When you are out and about selling all across the UK, you get a lot of first hand experience and knowledge of what brokers really want”, said Rick Watkin, the IFA who inspired the joint development of MortgageKeeper with corporate software developer, Swift Computing.“The link to Trigold means that MortgageKeeper users only have to input their client’s data once – when they have tailored a detailed fact find using Mortgagekeeper’s flexible templates, they can simply use that same information within Trigold itself, so the whole process is that much faster”, continued Watkin.

John Rossetti, chief executive of Swift Computing, said: “We are aiming to reflect the whole range of ways in which brokers run their businesses, so designing software that could be tailored to suit our customers’ own particular working styles was one of our major objectives.

“Trigold has a very similar approach to us in terms of their attitude to expanding their service to their customers, which is one of the reasons that over 60% of mortgage brokers choose it. The sophistication of the software and the enthusiasm of the parties involved made the process of integration a simple and efficient one.”
