InfoTrack: digital onboarding made easy

Legal tech provider InfoTrack has announced the launch of electronic client onboarding solution eCOS.

Designed to streamline client data within a property transaction, eCOS offers law firms the opportunity to digitally onboard their clients through a single portal, reducing a process that could previously take two weeks into two hours. eCOS also authenticates and verifies identities and funds, as well as providing client care packs and onboarding questionnaires.

Jane Pritchard, chief product innovation officer at InfoTrack, said: ‘Delivering an onboarding solution that enhances process is how we arrived at a virtual front office through eCOS. Challenging the traditional use of point solutions, we provide a fully connected took kit within the InfoTrack platform, seamlessly embedded into CMS with an integrated workflow. eCOS is all about collecting data early and speedily to power the complete conveyancing transaction. eCOS puts the conveyancer in the driving seat and into sixth gear. Collecting the early data in eCOS powers the complete conveyancing transaction (which the wider IT platform facilitates).’
