Hi,

 

We are evaluating Mifos for our lending platform. While evaluation, my team came up with following observations on missing features in Mifos.

 

1.       Auto assigning of leads/loan applications to credit officers

2.       Tracking the comments/notes given by credit officers on loan applications

3.       Support for document management (documents provided by customers)

4.       Tracking of loans as per different criteria (loans requested/ approved / declined/ cancelled)

 

For above reasons, my team may not use Mifos.

 

Thought to share these with you all. If any of the above features make sense from product perspective, you may want to add to the product. Also, some CRM features can be thought of to make Mifos much more compelling and one stop solution for many lending organizations.

Hi Suraj ,

Of the feature you have listed as missing

2.       Tracking the comments/notes given by credit officers on loan applications

Mifos X has the ability to attach comments notes across all relevant entities ( Clients , loans , savings etc)

3.       Support for document management (documents provided by customers)

Same here , document management is available across all relevant entities

4.       Tracking of loans as per different criteria (loans requested/ approved / declined/ cancelled)

A loan application has the distinct lifecycle stages in Mifos including New (requested) , approved , rejected , disbursed , active (good and bad standing ) , closed (including rescheduled ), written off  and overpaid

Standard reports to track various stages are also available out of the box . Any additional reports you require can be added easily using our reporting API's

You can also achieve custom workflows ( auto assign loan applications to loan officers, using what logic ?) by orchestrating the available API's.

We do not have a full fledged CRM though and prefer the approach of integrating with other CRM vendors for now . 

Regards,

Vishwas
