Brokerfront vs Salestrekker
Brokerfront vs Salestrekker — front of house vs back of house.
Salestrekker 2.0 is a widely used independent broker CRM in Australia, and its client portal ships a real digital fact-find. It is the structural inverse of Brokerfront: it runs the broker's back office and touches the borrower through a portal; we run the borrower's front door and hand your team a prepared file.
Credit where due: around 10,000 brokers (vendor-claimed), an independent bootstrapped build, origination across four finance types, lender-gateway lodgement, and a shipped AI suite (compliance notes, policy research). Salestrekker earned its incumbency.
