Compliance Connections vastly improves the ability of servicers and municipalities to handle growing volumes of properties.? It offers an easier, more efficient way to delivering code violations and manage the communication and workflow to abate them more quickly,? said Kirkham.
The servicing platform utilizes .Net technology and leverages the power of multiple databases to quickly match the servicer with the code violation. The system automatically notifies the specific servicer contact having the authority and ability to resolve the code violation.? Servicers no longer have to wait for mailed violations to be routed through their organizations.
