Full press release

The first full integration of SmartrFit anywhere gives OMS users a seamless research tool for residential mortgages.  The user experience is 100% OMS design which removes any re-keying, pre-population or changing systems.  Powered by SmartrFit, the results are made available in one place without leaving OMS anytime the user needs them.

Whilst SmartrFit launched as an affordability calculator nearly a year ago with residential, it now includes Buy to Let and this will be available on OMS shortly.  The combination of both in the one tool supports advisers research and help provide clients with a clearer picture of their options upfront.

As well as providing support to experienced brokers within the industry, SmartrFit can also be used as a training tool for new brokers to help them narrow down lending criteria and find the right solution for their client which they can afford.

OMS is the only end-to-end mortgage system which covers product areas such as residential, buy-to-let, second charge, equity release, bridging, commercial plus general insurance and protection. It has already integrated with four market-leading platforms - Iress, Twenty7Tec, iPipeline and Knowledge Bank - to provide users with best in class for product sourcing, protection sourcing and criteria searching.

Neal Jannels, Managing Director of One Mortgage System (OMS): "SmartrFit has many parallels with OMS in terms of how it has been developed internally and built with brokers and their clients firmly in mind. There are also several others such as how fast it has grown, how it’s main aim is to make the life of the adviser easier and how it continues to develop in line with intermediary feedback.

 This shared philosophy makes it an ideal partner at such an exciting time for the business. We are just putting the finishing touches to our ambitious growth plans for 2022, which will include many more game-changing partnerships and integrations, and we can’t wait to get started.”

Kevin Roberts, Director Legal & General Mortgage Club: "We’re delighted to have worked with OMS on this exciting development to integrate our SmartrFit tool into their platform, avoiding dual keying to provide advisers quick and accurate results, leaving them more time to do what they do best; help and advise clients. Like OMS, we have a really exciting 2022 planned for SmartrFit and so we’re thrilled OMS users get access now to our free tool."

Over the last decade, as the rest of the world - including the financial sector - has raced forward technologically, the mortgage market and particularly the specialist finance sector has remained underserved.

OMS was conceived as the all-in-one solution to overcome this growing problem.

With a constant acceleration in changes to the regulatory environment, more clients are requiring specialist finance. Every case is taking more work to get the same result.    

The system has been designed from the ground up so that advisers can dedicate their time to what really matters, providing the best advice and maintaining close relationships with their clients.

The system has been developed by working alongside mortgage advisers, observing how they operate and how OMS could simplify admin and processing requirements. This has resulted in a multi-award-winning system that, in only its first year, has amassed over 4,000 users.

  • OMS was formed in 2017
  • The system is more than a sourcing system. Features include: a CRM, audit trail, pre-population, DIPs, full two-way lender integration with several lenders including Shawbrook Bank, Together Loans, Precise Mortgages, Kent Reliance and Foundation Home Loans
  • The system allows document uploads, sourcing, KFIs, evidence of research, email and SMS updates, pre-underwriting, AVMs, credit searches and so much more to help save brokers hours of administration time
  • OMS has been awarded ‘Best Product Innovation’ and ‘Best Use of Technology’ at the Specialist Finance Introducer Awards – June 2018
  • Via one of its customers, a white labelled version of OMS was awarded a National Mortgage Adviser Award in 2017 for ‘Best Technology’, ‘Highly Commended’ in the Mortgage Finance Gazette Awards 2017 and ‘Highly Commended’ in the Bridging & Commercial awards 2018.
