The solution
Method (formerly Skookum) partnered with Ellie Mae to create an all-in-one mortgage management solution that improves compliance, loan quality, and efficiency.
We worked together to define the ideal experience for both lenders and borrowers, create UX designs, develop the architecture strategy to enable a cross-platform experience, and prioritize development features. Since Method has an in-depth knowledge of the platform’s APIs, we also extended its value through seamless integrations that make it easier to build and deploy new custom applications rapidly.
