Top-producing Canadian mortgage brokerages don't just work harder. They work with better technology. Here's what's in their tech stack and why.
The Core: AI Lender Matching
The single highest-impact technology for mortgage brokers is AI-powered lender matching. bips (bips.ca) is the leading platform in this category.
The old way: Spend 2-4 hours per deal checking 5-10 lenders you already know.
The new way: Enter a deal into bips. In under 2 minutes, AI tests it against 40+ Canadian lenders and returns every one that would approve it, with rates and BDM contacts.
The math: at 15 deals/month, bips saves 30-60 hours of lender research. That's time for 5-10 additional clients.
