BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method and system for managing business transactions that require goods or services from multiple vendors, and in particular to a method and system for providing a banking transaction to an individual while managing sub-transactions with one or more vendors.
2. Background of the Technology
There exist in the art paper-based methods and systems for completing financial transactions, such as providing mortgages, but these systems are typically slow and costly. Computer-implemented systems to manage financial transactions are also known, but these systems typically do not contain functionality to manage each step in the lifespan of a financial transaction. In particular, they do not provide functionality to initiate or track sub-transactions that are necessary for the completion of a financial transaction.
There is an unmet need in the art for methods and systems for the management of financial transactions, that include functionality to manage sub-transactions. A sub-transaction, also interchangeably referred to herein as an order or a product, relates to goods or services being provided during the life of the transaction, and sub-transactions help to define parameters of the transaction or otherwise bring the transaction to completion. For example, a financial institution or other company (also interchangeably referred to herein as a customer), such as a mortgage company, wishes to make a transaction with an end user. For example, the transaction may be providing a mortgage, and the end user may be an individual or business. The transaction may require the completion of one or more sub-transactions. One example of such a sub-transaction is a home inspection. Sub-transactions include transactions between the end user and a vendor, such as an inspection company, which has a service agreement with the financial institution. Sub-transactions also include, for example, transactions between the end user and the financial institution, between the financial institution and a vendor, or between a vendor and another party, such as an independent service provider.
There is an unmet need in the art for automated vendor distribution functionality that enables a financial institution or another requesting party to automate the distribution of sub-transactions to select vendors. There is a further need to provide order tracking and order management functionality. There is also a need to create a system that is tailored to the needs of a vendor management company. A vendor management company, also interchangeably referred to herein as a network vendor, is a vendor which itself outsources some or all sub-transactions to local independent contractors or service providers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a structure and platform that embodies an effective method and system for managing business transactions between an end user and a financial institution, where the business transactions include one or more sub-transactions between a vendor and the end user or financial institution. For example, when an end user obtains a loan from a financial institution or enters into another financial transaction, goods and services are ordered in conjunction with the loan or other financial transaction. These goods and services, or sub-transactions, include, for example, a flood order, an inspection, a business process outsourcing (BPO), an appraisal, an automated valuation model (AVM), a mortgage insurance (MI) policy, or other sub-transactions associated with the loan or other financial transaction. In one embodiment, the present invention includes systems and methods for ordering these sub-transactions from vendors. The sub-transactions may be ordered by the end user, by the financial institution, by a member of an outsourced labor force, by a real estate agent or other agent for the end user, or by another party. In one embodiment, the present invention includes systems and methods for selecting a vendor for a sub-transaction.
In addition, in one embodiment, the present invention is branded and customized to a particular financial institution or other company. Furthermore, the present invention allows outsourcing of non-automated transaction management operations, such that, for example, the human labor force required for transaction management is outsourced to a third party or other entity that is, for example, unrelated to the financial institution.
The present invention streamlines business processes, such as providing mortgages or performing other financial transactions, by, among other things, automating many traditionally manual steps. This eliminates manual errors and reduces cost, and also does not require a company to hire additional employees. The present invention is capable of being integrated into existing business infrastructure, and is capable of interfacing with other software applications.
The present invention enables mortgage lenders and others to reengineer their mortgage origination and servicing processes. This reduces operating costs and allows for a process that is fully electronic.
One embodiment of the present invention provides automated ordering functionality. In one embodiment, automated ordering apprises an end user that a particular sub-transaction is required or optional, and allows an end user to quickly and easily order a sub-transaction, without input from the financial institution or the vendor. In one embodiment, automated ordering functionality also automatically orders sub-transactions upon the ordering of a transaction or is otherwise automatically triggered. Automated ordering may thereby reduce cost and may reduce erroneous ordering.
One embodiment of the invention includes vendor management processing and set-up functionality. This functionality allows a financial institution to manage the transactions of a vendor, including real-time calculation of vendor capacity, threshold, and late-order ratios.
One embodiment of the invention includes qualitative performance analysis functionality. This functionality allows an end user or other requesting party to monitor and evaluate a vendor's price for a given sub-transaction, as specified in the service contract between the vendor and the financial institution. This functionality also allows an end user or other requesting party to monitor and evaluate such measures as a vendor's turn-around time and quality score. The qualitative performance analysis functionality further calculates an overall score for the vendor, such as by combining and weighting the turn-around and quality scores and providing a score via a scoring mechanism for evaluating a vendor's turn-around time performance.
One embodiment of the invention includes vendor distribution functionality. This functionality distributes sub-transactions among vendors, taking into account criteria such as a vendor's price, turn-around time, quality score, capacity, threshold, late order ratios, outstanding late order volume, outstanding new order volume, and the like. Vendor distribution functionality also includes functionality to withhold order distribution to a specified vendor for a specified period of time.
One embodiment of the invention includes vendor management company functionality. This functionality allows a vendor management company—e.g., a vendor that outsources some or all of its sub-transactions to independent service providers or the like—to effectively use the system. This functionality provides a vendor management company with many of the same tools available to the financial institution, such as automated distribution of orders to independent service providers and qualitative analysis of the independent service providers.
One embodiment of the invention provides a customizable system that can be tailored for a particular financial institution or other company. Customizing the system includes branding the system, or altering the look, feel, and user interaction with the system. Customizing the system further includes tailoring the capabilities of the system in accordance with vendor rules and policies concerning the requirements for transactions and sub-transactions. In one embodiment, customizing the system also includes adding automated support for the day-to-day operations of a particular financial institution or other company.
One embodiment of the invention provides a method and system that allow outsourcing of the human labor force that performs non-automated transaction management tasks. Outsourcing allows the system to be implemented in such a way that the financial institution or the vendors have little or no interaction with the system.
In one implementation, each type of transaction has a unique profile. The profile specifies, for example, the relationship between an end user and the financial institution. For example, the profile may specify the terms of a home loan. To select a transaction for a particular end user, in one embodiment, parameters matching the end user's requirements are input, and a transaction with a profile matching the input parameters is selected. Furthermore, the profile for a given transaction specifies, for example, which sub-transactions are required or are optional for the transaction. This assists in triggering automatic ordering of sub-transactions.
Additional advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description that follows, and in part will become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or upon learning by practice of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Among other advantages, the present invention maximizes process efficiencies and reduces customer costs by automating additional processes in the transaction management lifecycle. For example, when an end user obtains a loan from a financial institution or enters into another financial transaction, goods and services are ordered in conjunction with the loan or other financial transaction. These goods and services, or sub-transactions, include, for example, a flood order, an inspection, a business process outsourcing (BPO), an appraisal, an automated valuation model (AVM), a mortgage insurance (MI) policy, or other sub-transactions associated with the loan or other financial transaction. In one embodiment, the present invention includes systems and methods for ordering these sub-transactions from vendors. The sub-transactions may be ordered by the end user, by the financial institution, by a member of an outsourced labor force, by a real estate agent or other agent for the end user, or by another party. In one embodiment, the present invention includes systems and methods for selecting a vendor for a sub-transaction.
Advantages of the present invention include the following: 1) providing customers with superior vendor management tools to automate the vendor management process; 2) creating a competitive advantage in the vendor management and transaction management market space; and 3) providing sufficient tools and features to eliminate the need to maintain another order tracking system.
The present invention works in conjunction with features designed to provide foundational vendor management functionality, as well as automated vendor distribution tools. Automated vendor distribution functionality provides requesting parties with the ability to automate the distribution of orders to select service providers based upon various loan file criteria, as well as such factors as geographic location, vendor capacity, and threshold limits. The present invention provides additional vendor management functionality to a suite of management tools.
The present invention also provides features to satisfy the order tracking and management needs of the system manager. These additional features reduce operational costs as well as expand the functionality to encompass the needs of the vendor management company, also herein interchangeably referred to as a Network Service Provider (service provider who outsources a majority of the products and services to local independent service providers).
The present invention contains features that address the following areas, among others: 1) automated ordering; 2) vendor management processing/set-up; 3) enhanced qualitative analysis; 4) vendor distribution enhancements; 5) vendor management company accommodations; and 6) financial institution operational needs.
Automated Ordering The Automated Ordering functionality offers full end-to-end order placement automation, optionally without the need for user intervention. This feature reduces customer costs due to the reduction in manual processes, and also reduces erroneous product ordering (e.g., ordering the wrong set of products for a specified loan).
The Automated Ordering feature allows users to utilize File and Order data to determine which products to order and when to order them. For example, a customer is able to automatically order a BPO for loans with a loan type of “refinance,” and to order a full appraisal for loans with a loan type of “purchase.” The functionality is designed to also combine comparison logic to automate the order placement process. For instance, a customer may want loans with a loan-to-value ratio (LTV) greater than 95%, and with a loan product of “home equity line of credit” (HELOC), handled differently than loans with a loan-to-value ratio (LTV) less than 95% and loan product of “conforming.” Essentially, the Automated Ordering features handle the typical decision making scenarios that customers face on a daily basis.
To maximize the effectiveness of Automated Ordering functionality, one embodiment of the present invention offers automated product selection and order placement capabilities for various scenarios, such as file creation and order fulfillment.
The file creation scenario enables customers to trigger the automated product selection and order placement at the time a file is created. Under this scenario, file level data is utilized to determine the appropriate products to order for the specified file. The file level data includes typical order placement data, such as Premium Type, Rate Type and Renewal Type for the Mortgage Insurance product.
The order fulfillment scenario enables automatic product selection and order placement based upon order fulfillment data. Under this scenario, order fulfillment data is utilized to determine the appropriate products to order for the specified file. An example would be when a customer orders an AVM product and would like a BPO ordered if the AVM fulfillment Property Value is 10% less or greater than the Estimated Property Value.
In one embodiment, automated product selection enables requestors to create custom decision rules to automatically place orders for required products. The decision rules are based, for example, on “If, Then” logic and can include any data element from the following: loan data (pre-fulfillment data), indicating the type of loan or other transaction; fulfillment data, indicating which orders have been completed; and file/order status data, indicating the status of outstanding orders.
Loan data (pre-fulfillment data) indicates the type of loan or other transaction. In one embodiment, loan data also includes data indicating which products to order for the transaction. Loan data triggers, for example, the automatic ordering of necessary products based on file data or other transaction data. Automated ordering based on loan data eliminates the product ordering decision process and provides tool to ensure that Vendor Order Allocation requirements are satisfied.
Fulfillment data indicates which orders have been completed. Fulfillment data triggers, for example, the ordering of subsequent products based on the result of fulfillment data. For example, when an AVM value is delivered and it is greater than 20% of the original appraised value, a BPO is automatically ordered. Automated ordering based on fulfillment data eliminates the manual processing that occurs when products are fulfilled. For example, if the product is rejected, the order is automatically placed with a different vendor. As another example, if the fulfillment data does not meet the acceptance rules, an alternative product is automatically ordered.
File/order status data indicates the status of outstanding orders. File/order status data triggers, for example, automatic ordering of alternative or supplemental products based on the result of specified status changes. For example, when a mortgage loan is funded, an MI policy can automatically be activated and a flood zone determination can be automatically upgraded from a one-time to a life-of-loan. Automated ordering based on file/order status data eliminates the manual processing that occurs when the status of a file or order changes.
Vendor Management Processing The Vendor Management Processing features enable real-time calculation of vendor capacity, threshold and late order ratios; enhanced acknowledgement file capabilities; and enhancements to vendor management distribution processing trigger, including pre-order placement.
The present invention also provides functionality to aid vendors and Vendor Management Companies (VMCs). One embodiment of the present invention includes functionality to automate the selection of an independent service provider for an order. Vendor Management Processing features also provide functionality to score independent service providers.
One embodiment of the present invention uses a parent-child infrastructure to describe corporations, such as vendors. Thus, a corporation may be described as a hierarchy. For example, a corporation is described as a parent, subsidiaries are described as children of the corporation, and offices are described as children of subsidiaries. Users are described as children of offices. The present invention may include additional parent-child infrastructure describing some users as children of others. Additionally, work groups may be defined, which include users from one or more offices. This is simply one example of a parent-child hierarchy for a corporation. Many others are possible.
The parent-child infrastructure (PCI) enables support of companies with multiple levels in their corporate hierarchy. PCI provides the ability to track orders and generate reports at any level in the hierarchy.
PCI features enable vendors or others to: customize corporate level labels, add offices at each level, add users to each office, view the corporate hierarchy, add users to multiple workgroups, assign orders to workgroups, search files by corporate level and office, generate reports by corporate level and office, view the administrative history log, provide certain privileges (e.g., menu options, products to order, order assignment) for normal users, access enhanced setup for products to order, bulk assign orders to workgroups, assign files to users or workgroups, bulk assign files to a project, or display file assignment in the order manager.
Qualitative Analysis The Qualitative Analysis segment provides qualitative performance analysis tools for customers. Features enable the requesting party to monitor and evaluate a service provider's Service Level Agreement price, turn-around time, and quality score. Qualitative analysis functionality also generates a unique score for each customer's service provider by supporting the ability to combine and weight the qualitative and timeline performance scores. Embodiments of the invention also include a scoring mechanism for evaluating a service provider's turn-around-time performance. These Qualitative Analysis functionalities allow for greater support of multiple vendor selection methodologies.
In one embodiment, a cumulative vendor score is based on a customized ratio. The cumulative vendor score is calculated, for example, by summing a weighted vendor quality score and a weighted vendor service score. The vendor quality score may incorporate factors such as customer satisfaction and price, and the vendor service score may take into account such factors as late orders and turnaround time.
Vendor Distribution The present invention provides functionality to automatically distribute work to vendors based on a set of criteria. These criteria include the features of the Qualitative Analysis segment, as well as additional distribution criteria and logic. The present invention provides the ability to manage the distribution levels based upon a service provider's outstanding late order volume and new order volume, as well as withholding order distribution to a specified vendor for a specified period of time.
Vendor Management Company Accommodations The present invention provides additional functionality for Vendor Management Companies (VMCs). VMCs maintain and manage large groups of independent service providers. An example would be a company that receives nationwide orders for appraisal services and in turn distributes those orders to smaller independent service providers across the nation. The independent service provider then submits the product fulfillments back to the VMC. The VMC then reviews the work product for quality and transfers the fulfillment to the original ordering party. The present invention provides the VMC with the same vendor management tools available to the Requestor. The present invention allows a VMC to automate the distribution of orders to their down-line service providers, or perform qualitative analysis of the down-line service provider's performance.
Financial Institution Operational Needs The present invention provides a set of operational tools to support the day-to-day operational and management needs of the financial institution. The tools are fully integrated with applications and may even reside with the present invention. By providing operational tools for the customer, the customer can eliminate the need to maintain and manage a separate order tracking system.
In one embodiment of the present invention, an outsourced labor force assists in non-automated transaction management operations. In one embodiment, the labor force-assisted operations include, for example: mortgage origination transactions, such as processing, decisioning, and closing; accounting services, such as cashiering, accounts payable, corporate accounting functions, and investor reporting; call center services, such as early stage collection, inbound customer service calls, skip tracing, and late stage unsecured collections; title insurance services, such as assignments and lien releases; mortgage servicing, such as customer research/services, escrow, payoffs and loan satisfactions, and loan setup/imaging; default services, such as loan resolution/bankruptcy and foreclosure/REO/claims; real estate analytics, such as reality advisors, commercial servicing, and mortgage analytics/capital markets; and data entry services.

In one embodiment, the invention includes machine-executable instructions stored in a computer-readable medium. These machine-executable instructions include software functions that perform specific actions. A list of the software functions of this embodiment is shown in Table 1.
The present invention may be implemented using hardware, software or a combination thereof and may be implemented in one or more computer systems or other processing systems. In one embodiment, the invention is directed toward one or more computer systems capable of carrying out the functionality described herein. An example of such a computer system 200 is shown in FIG. 3.
Computer system 200 includes one or more processors, such as processor 204. The processor 204 is connected to a communication infrastructure 206 (e.g., a communications bus, cross-over bar, or network). Various software embodiments are described in terms of this exemplary computer system. After reading this description, it will become apparent to a person skilled in the relevant art(s) how to implement the invention using other computer systems and/or architectures.
Computer system 200 can include a display interface 202 that forwards graphics, text, and other data from the communication infrastructure 206 (or from a frame buffer not shown) for display on the display unit 230. Computer system 200 also includes a main memory 208, preferably random access memory (RAM), and may also include a secondary memory 210. The secondary memory 210 may include, for example, a hard disk drive 212 and/or a removable storage drive 214, representing a floppy disk drive, a magnetic tape drive, an optical disk drive, etc. The removable storage drive 214 reads from and/or writes to a removable storage unit 218 in a well-known manner. Removable storage unit 218, represents a floppy disk, magnetic tape, optical disk, etc., which is read by and written to removable storage drive 214. As will be appreciated, the removable storage unit 218 includes a computer usable storage medium having stored therein computer software and/or data.
In alternative embodiments, secondary memory 210 may include other similar devices for allowing computer programs or other instructions to be loaded into computer system 200. Such devices may include, for example, a removable storage unit 222 and an interface 220. Examples of such may include a program cartridge and cartridge interface (such as that found in video game devices), a removable memory chip (such as an erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), or programmable read only memory (PROM)) and associated socket, and other removable storage units 222 and interfaces 220, which allow software and data to be transferred from the removable storage unit 222 to computer system 200.
Computer system 200 may also include a communications interface 224. Communications interface 224 allows software and data to be transferred between computer system 200 and external devices. Examples of communications interface 224 may include a modem, a network interface (such as an Ethernet card), a communications port, a Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) slot and card, etc. Software and data transferred via communications interface 224 are in the form of signals 228, which may be electronic, electromagnetic, optical or other signals capable of being received by communications interface 224. These signals 228 are provided to communications interface 224 via a communications path (e.g., channel) 226. This path 226 carries signals 228 and may be implemented using wire or cable, fiber optics, a telephone line, a cellular link, a radio frequency (RF) link and/or other communications channels. In this document, the terms “computer program medium” and “computer usable medium” are used to refer generally to media such as a removable storage drive 214, a hard disk installed in hard disk drive 212, and signals 228. These computer program products provide software to the computer system 200. The invention is directed to such computer program products.
Computer programs (also referred to as computer control logic) are stored in main memory 208 and/or secondary memory 210. Computer programs may also be received via communications interface 224. Such computer programs, when executed, enable the computer system 200 to perform the features of the present invention, as discussed herein. In particular, the computer programs, when executed, enable the processor 204 to perform the features of the present invention. Accordingly, such computer programs represent controllers of the computer system 200.
In an embodiment where the invention is implemented using software, the software may be stored in a computer program product and loaded into computer system 200 using removable storage drive 214, hard drive 212, or communications interface 224. The control logic (software), when executed by the processor 204, causes the processor 204 to perform the functions of the invention as described herein. In another embodiment, the invention is implemented primarily in hardware using, for example, hardware components, such as application specific integrated circuits (ASICs).

In yet another embodiment, the invention is implemented using a combination of both hardware and software.
FIG. 4 presents an exemplary system diagram of various hardware components and other features in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, in an embodiment of the present invention, data and other information and services for use in the system is, for example, input by an end user 30 via a terminal 31. The terminal 31 is coupled to a server 33 via a network 34, such as the Internet, via couplings 35, 36. In one embodiment, a vendor 39 also inputs information/data via a terminal 37 coupled 38 to the network 34. Furthermore in one embodiment, a member of an outsourced workforce 40 inputs information/data via a terminal 41 coupled 42 to the network 34, and in another embodiment, a member of a financial institution workforce 43 inputs information/data via a terminal 44 coupled 45 to the network 34.
Each of the terminals 31, 37, 41, 44 is, for example, a personal computer (PC), minicomputer, mainframe computer, microcomputer, telephone device, personal digital assistant (PDA), or other device having a processor and input capability. The terminal 31 is coupled to a server 33, such as a PC, minicomputer, mainframe computer, microcomputer, or other device having a processor and a repository for data or connection to a repository for maintained data.
In operation, in an embodiment of the present invention, via the network 34, vendor data, transactional data, sub-transactional data, order data and/or other information is communicated with the server 33. The server 33 receives and resolves the transaction including triggering and resolving sub-transactions, stores data regarding the transaction, vendor, and sub-transaction, and documents the transaction (e.g., electronically).
In one embodiment, the present invention uses active server page (ASP) technology to deliver information and services to a user. This may include one or more ASPs stored on the server 33. This reduces the maintenance expense and hardware expense, results in limited implementation/integration costs, limited support expense, and low total cost of ownership.
In one embodiment of the present invention, information relating to a transaction, such as a loan, is stored electronically. This information is referred to interchangeably as a virtual loan file. Among other things, the virtual loan file enables data mining, reduces post closing quality reviews, facilitates secondary market due diligence, streamlines loan servicing functions, reduces data archive costs, reduces processing costs, automates routine and decision based processes, and reduces data entry errors.
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a branded customer portal, which enables a customer, such as a mortgage company, to tailor the look and feel of a software system, as well as the information and services provided by the software system, to the company's particular needs.
FIG. 5 shows an example flow diagram of a process for providing automatic ordering for a sub-transaction associated with a particular transaction, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. This flow diagram demonstrates automatic ordering of a sub-transaction, triggered by the input of a transaction. As shown in FIG. 5, specific parameters for a particular transaction, such as a loan, are input into the system 300. In one implementation, this action is performed, for example, by a member of an outsourced labor force. Alternatively, the parameters are input by an end user, such as an individual wishing to obtain a mortgage. The parameters input into the system are then processed 302. A transaction matching the input parameters is then selected 304. For example, a particular type of home loan may be selected that matches the parameters. If there is no transaction with a profile matching the parameters, the file or transaction is moved to an exception bin 306.
In one embodiment, if a transaction matching the input parameters is selected, one or more sub-transactions or orders, such as providing products or services, are automatically selected 308. The sub-transactions automatically selected 308 are, for example, sub-transactions that are required for the selected transaction. If the auto-vendor selection function is not present or is not selected, the sub-transactions, also referred to as orders, move to the vendor selection page 310, and vendor(s) for the sub-transaction(s) are manually selected 311. The vendor(s) are manually selected 311, for example, by an end user, by an employee of the financial institution, or by a member of a third-party outsourced labor force.
If the auto-vendor selection function is present and is enabled, a vendor is automatically selected 312. If no additional information for the sub-transaction or order is required, the order is placed 314. If additional information for the sub-transaction or order is required, an order form corresponding to the order is edited 316, for example, by an end user, by an employee of the financial institution, or by a member of a third-party outsourced labor force. In one embodiment, additional information is input 318, by such users as, for example, the end user, the employee of the financial institution, or the member of a third-party outsourced labor force. The order is then placed 320.
FIG. 6 shows an example flow diagram of a process for providing automatic ordering for a sub-transaction associated with a particular transaction, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. This flow diagram demonstrates automatic ordering of a second sub-transaction, triggered by the completion of a first sub-transaction. This type of triggering may be useful, for example, in situations in which two or more sub-transactions must occur in a particular sequence. The sequence of the sub-transactions is be specified, for example, in the profile for a particular transaction.
The automatic ordering process begins, for example, when a vendor sends a product fulfillment indication 400, signifying that the vendor has completed a first sub-transaction. The sub-transaction is associated with a particular instance of a particular transaction, such as a particular type of home loan for a particular end user. The product fulfillment is then received 402. In one embodiment, a particular identification code is examined or processed 404 to identify the instance of the transaction. The parameters of the instance of the transaction are processed or updated 406.
Fulfillment profile selection 408 is then performed. This includes, for example, examining the profile for the transaction to determine if the fulfillment of the first sub-transaction triggers a second sub-transaction. If the profile does not indicate that a second sub-transaction should be triggered, no action is taken 410. If the profile indicates that one or more second sub-transactions should be triggered, the subsequent sub-transaction(s) are selected 412 (e.g., automatically). The following actions are then optionally performed for each of the subsequent sub-transaction(s). Automatic Vendor Selection (AVS) rules are examined and run 414, and an AVS profile is selected 416. If there is a problem with one of the AVS processing functions, the file or loan is moved to an exception bin 418. Otherwise, a vendor is selected 420 (e.g., automatically) for the subsequent sub-transaction and an order is placed 422 for the subsequent sub-transaction.
