3 Return on Investment
For a mid-size lender with 20 processors closing an average of 15 loans/month each (300 loans/mo), here's what the numbers look like on the per-loan Growth tier:
Monthly Cost (Per-Loan Growth)
$4,200
300 closed loans × $14/loan — vs. $14,160/mo for $59/seat × 20 × 12 annualized alternatives
Time Saved Per Loan
22 min
No app-switching, no copy/paste between systems, AI handles condition analysis
Annual Hours Recovered
1,320 hrs
20 processors × 15 loans × 22 min ÷ 60 × 12 months
Compliance Risk Reduction
100%
Every message archived, every communication tied to a loan, full audit trail for examiners
What You'd Pay to Host It Yourself (300 loans/mo)
| Line Item | Monthly Cost |
| Azure hosting (Static Web Apps Standard) | $9 |
| Azure OpenAI (GPT-4.1 mini, ~2,000 queries/mo) | ~$45 |
| Azure Communication Services (SMS, ~1,000 msgs) | ~$25 |
| Azure Table Storage | ~$3 |
| Custom development & maintenance | $5K–$15K+ |
| DIY Monthly Total (before dev cost) | ~$82 |
The infrastructure is cheap — the software is the hard part. Azure hosting for all of this runs under $100/month. But building and maintaining 40+ custom panels, AI integration, SMS, email, and compliance archiving? That's a 6–12 month dev project. MortgageTech® gives you all of it for $14/loan — ready the same day you sign up.
4 Why We Can Do More for Less
MortgageTech® isn't cheaper because it does less. It costs less because of architectural decisions that eliminate the overhead other vendors pass on to you:
- Azure Static Web Apps — No servers to manage, no VMs to scale, no DevOps team required. Microsoft's edge network serves the workbook globally for under $10/month.
- Serverless Functions — API endpoints (AI, SMS, email) run only when called. You pay per execution, not for idle compute. A function call that takes 200ms costs $0.0000002.
- Azure OpenAI — We use GPT-4.1 Mini, optimized for speed and cost. Smart prompt engineering means each AI query costs fractions of a penny. No fine-tuned models, no GPU rentals, no ML infrastructure.
- Azure Communication Services — Microsoft's own telephony platform. SMS at $0.0075/message. No Twilio markup, no middleware, no messaging aggregator margins.
- Table Storage — NoSQL storage at $0.036/GB/month. A full year of conversation threads for 20 processors fits in under 1 GB.
- No App to Install — The workbook loads inside Encompass Web as an external form. No mobile app to build, no desktop client to maintain, no app store to manage. One codebase, zero distribution overhead.
- Customer's Azure Subscription — Infrastructure runs in YOUR Azure tenant. You own the data, control the keys, and see the costs. No opaque "platform fees" hiding $40/seat margins.
Transparency matters. We show you the actual Azure costs because they're negligible. The value is in the software, not the infrastructure markup. Other vendors charge $75–$150/seat because they're running expensive infrastructure and passing the bill — plus margin — to you.
5 Getting Started
Deployment is fast — most lenders are live within a single business day:
- Step 1: We provision the workbook in your Azure subscription (or ours, your choice)
- Step 2: Configure Encompass Web external form to point to the workbook URL
- Step 3: Activate SmartAdvisor™ with your Azure OpenAI instance
- Step 4: Set up SMS — purchase a number via Azure Communication Services and submit carrier verification
- Step 5: Train your team (15-minute walkthrough — the interface is self-explanatory)
No implementation project. No 6-month rollout. No consultants. You're running a modern, AI-powered processing workbook inside Encompass the same day you sign up. If it's not working for you, cancel anytime — no penalties, no termination fees.
