Are you switching to BrokerEngine from a different platform? Glad to have you aboard!

Moving data between platforms is rarely easy and almost never trouble-free. That's why we're happy to help you import client, lead, or deal information into BrokerEngine. However, there are constraints that are way beyond our control. That means we can only import a limited selection of the data that might exist on other platforms. Here's a quick list.

Data we can't import

Fixed or I/O expiry dates

  • The best alternative we have at this time is to set the Next Review Date based on 60 days before the expiry dates.

Co applicants from FLEX

  • FLEX doesn't provide co applicant information in the application or opportunity data. We cannot add them manually in the spreadsheet unless user updates the raw file before submitting to us.

Security Details for AFG users

  • Flex doesn't export security details and the user may need to update them manually in Broker Engine or provide the security details in csv format so the data team can include them during formatting.

Unable to add or update the following:

  • Update or overwrite existing data in the Contacts Page

  • Unable to add Salutation/Title, Partner/Spouses/Referrer/Tags/Lead Source

  • Unable to merge duplicate contacts, leads and deals

  • Unable to add Contact ID or Loan ID from other Aggregators

  • Unable to add Start Date, Created Date, Discharge Date or Lodgement Date

  • Unable to add Occupation or Job Title, Company Name and Company Address

  • Unable to add Reviews, Notes, Comments or Reminders

  • Unable to add contact’s account card numbers or credit card numbers

  • Unable to add product names or products applied in deals

  • Unable to import primary & sub stages with numbers e.g Attempted Contact 1, January 2024 or 2024 January (but few tweaks can be applied during import; by removing the number/s or replacing it with letters or words. Then upon successful import, stages must be reverted to its original name).
