Salesforce can do almost anything. You have to build it first.
Salesforce is the most capable CRM platform in existence, and that is exactly the trade-off. Everything mortgage-specific — the renewal model, co-applicants, FINTRAC records, the Filogix hand-off — is yours to build, and then yours to maintain as rules and lender requirements change.

Salesforce, in their words and ours
Salesforce is a general-purpose enterprise CRM platform based in United States, primarily serving enterprises across every industry. Here's a fair read of what they do well and where the trade-offs are — so you can decide if Mortgage360 is a fit.
What Salesforce does well
- Effectively unlimited customisation — if you can specify it, it can be built
- Best-in-class reporting, dashboards and workflow automation
- Enormous integration ecosystem and a deep partner network
- Enterprise-grade stability, security posture and support
- Genuinely the right answer if your mortgage business sits inside a larger financial group already standardised on it
Factual trade-offs
- No mortgage data model out of the box — renewals, co-applicants and properties are yours to design
- No Filogix Exchange submission; that integration is a custom build
- No FINTRAC identity or retention handling without configuration
- Implementation typically requires a partner and a multi-month project
- Total cost includes licences, the build, and ongoing development as requirements change

Common questions
Is Salesforce a bad choice for a mortgage brokerage?+
No — it is an expensive one unless you have the resources to exploit it. If you have in-house development capacity, unusual requirements, or you are part of a group already standardised on Salesforce, it can be the right answer. If you are a brokerage that wants to write more mortgages, you are buying a construction project.
How much does the mortgage layer cost to build on Salesforce?+
It varies enormously with scope, but the honest framing is that it is a project with a budget and a timeline, followed by an ongoing maintenance commitment as regulations and lender requirements change. Ask any implementation partner for a fixed-scope quote and compare that against a per-seat subscription over three years.
Can Salesforce submit to Filogix Exchange?+
Not natively. It would be a custom integration you commission and maintain. Mortgage360 includes two-way Filogix Exchange sync as part of the product.
We already run Salesforce company-wide. Should we still look at Mortgage360?+
Possibly not, and we would rather say so. If Salesforce is a company standard with a team supporting it, the integration cost of a second system may outweigh the benefit. Where it does make sense is when the mortgage division's needs keep failing to get onto the central roadmap.
