About Bluroot
Bluroot is the #1 FinTech CRM (customer relationship management) company in Canada. We have 2 products: BluMortgage, a CRM for mortgage brokers and Cloven, a CRM for financial advisors.
With the emergence of direct-to-consumer brands like Nesto and WealthSimple, mortgage brokers and financial advisors can no longer compete on access-to-product. Instead, both segments are pivoting to become their client's trusted advisor. To achieve this at scale, good data integrity and automated processes are a necessity.
Bluroot is one of Canada's fastest growing companies according to the Globe and Mail's 2024 list.
On a day-to-day basis, the Bluroot team works to:
- Educate prospects how our products improve their business (Sales & Marketing)
- Help clients achieve business success with our products (Customer Success)
- Expand our products' capabilities to drive more value (Engineering)
