LBA Ware Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary Serving the Mortgage Industry

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware(TM), a leading provider of automated compensation software and systems integration solutions for mortgage lenders, announced it has achieved a decade in business this year. The company celebrated the official anniversary of its founding on June 10, the date of the company's incorporation.

"The impetus behind founding LBA Ware in 2008 was to solve what I saw as a clear need in the industry - the ability to automate traditionally manual business processes," said LBA Ware CEO and Founder Lori Brewer. "While I knew we would succeed in this endeavor, the level of success we've achieved in our first 10 years is beyond anything I could have imagined."

Since its inception, the company has established itself as a mortgage industry innovator through its suite of technology platforms designed to maximize productivity and operational efficiency. In addition to its systems integration software LOS Talker(TM), LBA Ware has also brought to market the mortgage industry's first automated commission calculation platform CompenSafe(TM).

Other major company achievements over the past decade include:

* Reaching $1 billion in total compensation calculated via CompenSafe

* Serving six of the top 100 U.S. mortgage lenders and eight of the top 75 independent mortgage banks

* Garnering multiple corporate honors, such as:
o Four consecutive appearances on HousingWire Magazine's HW Tech100
o 2017 Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) Bytes for Bites Regional winner
o 2017 Best of Macon winner
o 2016 Hub Magazine Diversity Game Changer in Technology winner
o 2014 & 2015 TAG Top 40 Innovative Technology Company winner

* Numerous professional recognitions for Brewer, including:
o 2017 & 2018 Mortgage Professional America (MPA) Elite Women in Mortgage
o 2017 MReport Women in Housing - Leadling Ladies category
o 2018 MPA Hot 100
o 2018 HousingWire Women of Influence.

While a decade in business may seem like a modest achievement, Brewer notes, the odds of a small business reaching this milestone are often stacked against them. According to the U.S. Small Business Association (SBA), 96 percent of U.S. businesses never make it to 10 years, less than 4 percent ever achieve $1 million in sales, and less than 6 percent ever grow beyond 10 employees.

"When you consider the odds stacked against start-ups, it's incredible what LBA Ware has achieved in its first 10 years," Brewer said. "I started the company in my living room with a laptop and an idea. We now employ 27 highly talented individuals and have expanded our client base by 91 percent in the last 12 months. I'm immensely proud of our team, the culture and our achievements and am so excited about the opportunities ahead."

Alterra Home Loans Selects LBA Ware’s CompenSafe to Increase Mortgage Origination Productivity, Contain Operating Costs

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware(TM), a leading provider of automated compensation software and systems integration solutions for mortgage lenders, today announced that top ranking Nevada-based retail mortgage lender, Alterra Home Loans has chosen CompenSafe(TM) to automate commissions for its 65 branch offices licensed to operate in 30 states and deliver operational insights to executive management on its branches and sales staff.

"As a growing lender, the commissions accounting process was becoming increasingly manually intensive for us; however, we also see the ability to be more creative and customized with compensation and commission as a competitive advantage in retaining top talent," said Jason Madeido, CEO of Alterra Home Loans. "We chose to implement CompenSafe because it directly addressed our two main concerns: increasing productivity to keep manufacturing costs down and increasing customization to enable us to create a better compensation experience for our loan officers."

CompenSafe integrates with Alterra's loan origination system (LOS) and accounting software to obtain loan pipeline information and automatically calculate each employee's custom commissions compensation plan. CompenSafe's online portal increases transparency across the organization by allowing loan originators to gauge their pay and performance and provides company leaders with a wealth of insight into branch and staff production and productivity.

"Everybody in my shoes is thinking about how we can improve productivity, stay very competitive, customize compensation within regulatory bounds, correctly document employee compensation and still make our sales people very happy," said Madiedo. "CompenSafe has helped us manage all of that while providing a transparent window into the process and that's been great."

"In today's competitive market, there's more demand on lenders than ever before to maximize the efficiency of loan production, but that demand has to be balanced with keeping sales staff motivated," said Lori Brewer, founder and CEO of LBA Ware. "CompenSafe helps lenders strike a balance between profitability and productivity, and It's extremely gratifying to be able to provide a growing lender like Alterra with the tools it needs to advance its success in the marketplace."

Inlanta Mortgage Integrates CompenSafe with LendingQB

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware(TM), a leading provider of automated compensation software and systems integration solutions for mortgage lending and retail banking, announced that Wisconsin-based Inlanta Mortgage has completed integration between LBA Ware's CompenSafe(TM) automated compensation calculation platform and LendingQB's cloud-based loan origination solution (LOS). Through the integration, Inlanta is able to leverage real-time loan production data to automatically calculate compensation for each of its 100+ loan originators (LOs).

"CompenSafe provides tremendous value to our organization. Not only does the system save us time on payroll and commission processing, it also has a robust suite of reports and analytics that you might find in tools costing thousands of dollars a month. We really looked at it like getting two tools for the price of one," said John Watry, Chief Financial Officer of Inlanta Mortgage.

As the mortgage industry's first web-based software for automated compensation calculations, CompenSafe creates a direct link between the LendingQB platform and Inlanta's existing payroll system to eliminate manual data entry and human errors in the payroll process. Through this integration, Inlanta's branch managers gain a wealth of actionable insight into staff performance and profitability, while LOs are able to view the status of their compensation in real time.

"Compensation has been a thorn in many lenders' sides because it has traditionally been a manual process that required coordination between multiple, disparate systems," said Lori Brewer, Founder and CEO of LBA Ware. "CompenSafe bridges the gap between these systems to create a unified, automated process for managing multiple compensation plans."

"Loan originator compensation is a major issue for lenders," said Tim Nguyen, President of LendingQB. "Integrating to LBA Ware's CompenSafe product allows our clients to track and analyze their compensation plans more easily and with better insight. This affirms our belief that an open API model allows our clients to address their most critical business issues specifically and efficiently."

Movement Mortgage Implements CompenSafe to Automate LO Compensation

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware(TM), a leading provider of automated compensation software and systems integration solutions for mortgage lending and retail banking, announced that South Carolina-based Movement Mortgage has implemented CompenSafe(TM) to automatically calculate commissions for its loan originators (LOs) located in 700 branches across 49 states.

"When I joined Movement Mortgage, I was tasked with identifying a compensation tool that would bring increased efficiency, accuracy and transparency to our payroll process and keep pace with our rapidly expanding sales force," said Aubrey Ratchford, Finance Director of Compensation at Movement Mortgage. "After coming across CompenSafe in my research, I discovered that several of our employees had previous experience with the system so we ultimately chose CompenSafe to automate our commission calculations."

"Since implementing CompenSafe, the amount of time and frustration our payroll team experiences have decreased significantly, and our LOs have better visibility into their anticipated compensation each month, which they love," Ratchford added. "In addition, having compensation systematically calculated and captured has reduced the amount of time and effort required to produce accurate financials."

CompenSafe is the first mortgage industry-specific software that integrates loan origination system (LOS) data with LO-specific commission package conditions to automatically calculate commissions in real time, thereby reducing compensation errors and streamlining the overall payroll process. In addition, LOs can view their anticipated compensation through CompenSafe anytime, providing transparency into the commission calculation process and supporting lenders' LO retention strategies.

"Successful lenders find that as they grow, the demands that compensation calculation places on the payroll team can exceed the capacity of homegrown solutions," said Lori Brewer, CEO of LBA Ware. "CompenSafe alleviates this immense burden by calculating compensation automatically. This optimizes efficiency for payroll teams and allows lenders to source and retain top LO talent with custom compensation plans and providing the peace of mind of transparent and accurate commissions calculation."

US Mortgage Implements CompenSafe from LBA Ware to Automatically Calculate LO Compensation

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware(TM), a leading provider of automated compensation software and systems integration solutions for mortgage lending and retail banking, announced that Melville, New York-based US Mortgage Corporation (US Mortgage) has implemented CompenSafe to automatically calculate commissions for its loan originators and operations staff located in 24 branches across the United States.

"US Mortgage Corporation has quadrupled in size over the last five years, and as a result, our compensation plans and employment agreements have grown far more complex, creating a much larger burden of responsibility for our payroll managers," said Scott A. Milner, president of US Mortgage Corporation. "CompenSafe provides us with a scalable compensation calculation solution that has made our payroll department twice as efficient and provided a massive degree of transparency to our loan originators."

CompenSafe integrates directly with US Mortgage Corporation's loan origination system (LOS) Encompass to extract loan pipeline information and calculate compensation in real time. Loan originators can access this information at any time to get an up-to-date accounting of their anticipated compensation.

"One of our core values is, 'Empowering others,' and I think you can do that through information. Our LOs now feel more empowered and connected to the payroll process," Milner added. "From a use-case standpoint, our payroll team is now spending most of their time auditing payroll results, rather than creating them, which is a much more efficient use of their time."

"Compensation is one of the many growing pains lenders must grapple with as they become more successful, and many flourishing lenders find that their homegrown compensation solutions simply cannot keep pace with their expanding sales force," said Lori Brewer, founder and president of LBA Ware. "CompenSafe eases this burden by calculating compensation automatically, which makes overseeing compensation a much easier process for payroll teams, allows lenders to offer customized compensation plans to stay competitive and provides loan originators with transparency regarding commission."

About US Mortgage Corporation:

Founded by Steven A. Milner more than 2 decades ago, US Mortgage Corporation has been committed to "Helping You Make It Home(R)" as a nationwide mortgage lender, a HUD approved FHA Direct Endorsed Lender and a Fannie Mae Seller/Servicer. Since its inception in 1994, US Mortgage Corporation has funded more than $10 billion in mortgage loans, servicing more than 33,000 people.

US Mortgage Corporation focuses on educating first time home buyers, saving people money through refinances, giving people the opportunity for a better life through reverse mortgages, and above all education and transparency. US Mortgage Corporation maintains an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and a 5 Star Rating as a Mortgage Lender with Zillow. For more information, visit http://usmortgage.com.

The magazine also recognized the phenomenal results LBA Ware has achieved over the last year, including a 300 percent increase in clients. Using LBA Ware's flagship automated loan compensation platform CompenSafe, LBA Ware clients calculated more than $400 million in compensation in 2016 and decreased their average cost-per-loan by 38 percent.

"As I told The MReport, I am a problem solver at heart, and when I was looking to start the post-military phase of my career, I found ample opportunity in the mortgage industry to use my programming and organization skills to solve some real problems," Brewer said. "For me, the reward is always found in knowing that I've made even a small improvement by automating a previously manual task, and recognitions from industry observers, like The MReport, really are icing on the cake."

According to The MReport, this year's "Women in Housing" list "highlights 60 women making a difference in the [mortgage] industry." In addition to being featured in the magazine, honorees will also be recognized during the Women in Housing Leadership Forum, an event held on Wednesday, September 20 at 2 p.m. at the Five Star Conference in Dallas, Texas.
