In lending, accuracy is everything. From borrower information to loan milestones, even small data errors can lead to delays, compliance risks, and frustrated borrowers. As lenders modernize their systems, the integration between Encompass Loan Origination Software (LOS) and HubSpot CRM has become essential for efficiency and insight.
At Proven ROI, we help financial institutions master one of the most critical components of that integration — field mapping. Proper field mapping ensures that every piece of data flows seamlessly between systems, empowering lenders to automate processes, improve borrower experiences, and track performance with confidence.
What Is Field Mapping in Encompass?
Field mapping is the process of aligning and connecting data points across different systems so that information transfers accurately and automatically.
In the context of HubSpot–Encompass integration, field mapping ensures that borrower details, loan information, and operational updates are synchronized in real time — without human intervention or data loss.
Example:
When a borrower submits an application through a HubSpot form, their information (name, email, loan type, amount, and stage) automatically populates in Encompass. Likewise, updates within Encompass — such as underwriting approval or closing status — flow back into HubSpot for marketing and reporting visibility.
Without accurate field mapping, this synchronization breaks down, leading to incomplete records and missed opportunities.
Why Field Mapping Matters
Every financial institution depends on clean, consistent data. But when multiple systems manage that data separately, misalignment becomes inevitable.
Field mapping solves this by standardizing how borrower and loan information is stored, interpreted, and shared.
The Business Impact of Poor Field Mapping
- Duplicate Records: Borrowers appear multiple times in different systems with conflicting details.
- Data Loss: Key fields (such as loan stage or amount) fail to sync correctly, creating blind spots.
- Compliance Risk: Missing or incorrect information leads to audit challenges.
- Workflow Errors: Automations trigger incorrectly due to mismatched field definitions.
Accurate field mapping ensures that your systems, teams, and automations operate from a single source of truth.
Proven ROI’s Approach to Field Mapping
At Proven ROI, field mapping isn’t a one-time technical task — it’s a strategic foundation for performance.
We take a systematic approach to ensure every field is purposeful, accurate, and aligned with measurable business goals.
Step 1: Audit and Discovery
We begin by analyzing existing field structures in both HubSpot and Encompass. This includes identifying all standard, custom, and redundant fields, as well as how they are currently used.
Step 2: Field Alignment
Our experts define a field relationship map, connecting each Encompass field with its corresponding HubSpot property. This includes borrower, loan, and operational data fields.
Step 3: Custom Property Creation
When default fields aren’t enough, Proven ROI creates custom properties in HubSpot to match unique Encompass data structures. These might include loan stage details, branch identifiers, or underwriting milestones.
Step 4: Validation and Testing
Before deployment, every mapped field is validated for consistency, ensuring that data flows correctly in both directions.
Step 5: Maintenance and Optimization
As your operations evolve, so do your data needs. Proven ROI provides ongoing support to update mappings, add new fields, and optimize integrations for long-term scalability.
Key Field Categories in Encompass–HubSpot Mapping
Effective integration requires precision across several key data categories.
1. Borrower Information
- Name, contact details, and communication preferences
- Co-borrower information
- Credit profile and borrower ID numbers
2. Loan Details
- Loan amount, product type, interest rate, and term length
- Loan status and milestone tracking
- Loan officer assignment and branch location
3. Application and Processing Data
- Submission date and application ID
- Processing and underwriting progress
- Required documentation status
4. Marketing and Attribution Fields
- Lead source and campaign ID
- Engagement scores and funnel stage
- Loan-to-marketing attribution for ROI tracking
Each mapped field plays a critical role in ensuring your marketing, lending, and compliance teams have full visibility into the borrower journey.
The Connection Between Field Mapping and Automation
Once fields are mapped and validated, automation becomes intelligent.
For example:
- When a loan in Encompass moves from “Underwriting” to “Approved,” HubSpot can automatically send a borrower update, alert the assigned loan officer, and update analytics dashboards.
- When a borrower uploads missing documentation, HubSpot triggers a confirmation email and updates their loan status in the CRM.
These automations only work when data fields are mapped correctly. Proven ROI ensures every trigger, workflow, and notification is driven by accurate, synchronized data.
Field Mapping and Compliance
Data compliance is a non-negotiable in financial services. Proven ROI ensures every field configuration adheres to strict security and regulatory standards.
Compliance Safeguards Include:
- End-to-end encryption for all mapped data
- Role-based access control to sensitive borrower fields
- Audit trails for every integration event
- Ongoing compliance validation as data laws evolve
With Proven ROI, accuracy and accountability are built into every layer of your data ecosystem.
