Milo signals: 12
1
The borrower gets a custom-built, fully branded report from their LO every month, which adds consistent value to the relationship. No Milo branding anywhere.
2
The lender gets alerts directly into CRM so they have full transparency, can set custom workflows, and ensure each opportunity is worked properly.
3
The LO gets hot leads in real time via email, can view alerts in CRM, and receives a summary each week with every opportunity, so no follow-up slips through the cracks.
Step by Step Customer Journey
Go from onboarding to closing loans
in 5 stages.

Milo was built to make onboarding simple and drive a quantifiable impact within the first week. Here's how it works.

STAGE 01
Connect Database
Push clients via API, or send our team a CSV and we'll upload them for you. Milo enriches each record with updated value, equity, and public record data using 4 industry-leading data sources.
STAGE 02
Design Your System
Choose from dozens of configuration settings and thousands of design combinations to build a system that feels like you built it in house. No code. Live in minutes.
STAGE 03
Launch Your Reports
Choose whether to have Milo send your reports or send from your CRM. Choose how many reports are delivered each week and on what days, and prepare for your first big wave of client activity.
STAGE 04
Client Intent Captured
As clients explore their reports, we'll monitor more than 40 intent signals across the Milo ecosystem and the web to identify intent ~6 weeks before a credit-trigger would.
STAGE 05
LO Closes the Loan
Hot leads land in your LOs' inbox and CRM the moment a client signals intent. Automate personalized follow-up or have your LOs work the deal to close repeat business on autopilot.
Optimal results for all parties
Built to add value to everyone involved.
