How Switching from Apto to AscendixRE CRM for Capital Markets Helped Gantry, Inc. Improve Data Management and Visibility

Brief Description

Gantry, Inc. approached Ascendix seeking Salesforce consulting services for their Apto installation. Following a comprehensive CRM audit, Gantry made the strategic decision to transition to AscendixRE for Capital Markets as it already contained the required functionality; hence, investing in rebuilding Apto was not necessary.

Background

Gantry is a commercial real estate mortgage banking company that acts as a vital intermediary connecting real estate owners with lenders offering commercial real estate loans.

Gantry, Inc. approached Ascendix seeking Salesforce consulting services for their Apto installation. Following a comprehensive CRM audit, Gantry made the strategic decision to transition to AscendixRE for Capital Markets as it already contained the required functionality for their CRE mortgage industry.

Challenges Gantry, Inc. was facing:

  • There was no defined way to track lender profiles that led to problems with managing a lender database.
  • All data tracking on prospects was handled manually.
  • Troubles with data visibility and management. Hence, a custom mortgage data management solution was required.
  • Issues with tracking and receiving lender interest and quotes because they were primarily tracked manually in Excel.
