Product Release Notes – April 2025

While everyone else is still working on their New Year’s resolutions, we’ve already knocked our first 2025 goal out of the park! In our winter release, we’re excited to bring new ways to help lenders maximize their team’s efficiency and automate manual processes while providing an amazing borrower and vendor experience.

Aurora Loan Origination System (los)

1.1  Reduce the time it takes for aurora to automatically take a credit app from submit to approval 

Good News: Faster Application Processing!

We’ve upgraded our automated processing system to significantly reduce waiting times for your team and your borrowers and vendors.

Key benefits:

• Application decisions delivered much faster—potentially within the same session
• Processing speed up to 10× faster than before
• No compromise on thorough application analysis

These improvements come from optimizing our data processing methods and streamlining applicant information verification.

Your customers will enjoy quicker financing decisions with the same reliable service you expect.

1.2  Feature: Automated TValue Quote Creation with Service Automation

TValue Quotes can now be generated automatically in Aurora with Service Automation and TValue’s API, including:

• Automatic rate determination with pricing tables
• Automatic residual/balloon determination with pricing tables
• Streamlined workflow for faster quote delivery

This automation reduces manual data entry, minimizes errors, and speeds up the quote-to-close process for your team and customers.

1.3  Enhancement: Enhanced Checklist Visibility

A system administrator can now set up checklist item visibility in one location to expose its visibility to applicant portal and/or public checklist components. A multi-select picklist will depict whether a checklist item shows internally, in Partner Portal, in Applicant Portal, and/or via public URL.

Upon upgrade, the system will automatically migrate all items to the public checklist.

1.4  Maintenance: Salesforce ICU Locale Formats API Updates

Salesforce is improving their system on June 15, 2025 with an update called Enable ICU Locale Formats. We’ve already prepared our apps for this change, so you can upgrade and not worry about anything! Your experience will remain smooth and uninterrupted as all functionality has been maintained to work perfectly with Salesforce’s new requirements. Salesforce’s update will happen automatically, with no action needed on your part.

Northteq will assist you in upgrading your apps. As always, we’re committed to keeping everything running seamlessly for you while Salesforce continues to enhance their platform.
