American Financial Network Deploys CompenSafe to Provide Real-Time Reporting of Loan Originator Compensation

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware(TM), provider of the leading automated incentive compensation and sales performance management platform for mortgage lenders, announced today that American Financial Network, Inc. (AFN), a mortgage lender with more than 125 branches nationwide, has adopted CompenSafe(TM) to manage loan originator (LO) compensation plans with greater efficiency and transparency.

Before implementing CompenSafe, AFN's staff accountant manually calculated and tracked commissions using a spreadsheet. LOs did not see their commissions until they received their semi-monthly payroll checks. Now, CompenSafe provides LOs and their managers with real-time commission information as soon as loans are funded.

Moreover, by automating the compensation process, CompenSafe has reduced AFN accountants' administrative workload, enabling AFN to move from semi-monthly to weekly payment of LO commissions without any increase in payroll staff.

"CompenSafe gives LOs a real-time view into their compensation and enables us to pay out commissions on a weekly basis, inspiring confidence in the financial wellbeing of our company," said AFN President John Sherman. "What's more, by automating work that used to be done manually, CompenSafe saves our accounting staff time and decreases the frequency of compensation disputes and corrections."

"In a tough market, savvy lenders are looking for innovative ways to promote growth and maximize their production," said LBA Ware Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. "CompenSafe's unique value lies in its ability to eliminate back-office inefficiency while at the same time providing originators greater insight into their performance and earnings."

IDS Caps Off a Successful 2018 with New Mortgage Doc Prep System Functionality, LOS Integrations, and Individual Honors

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage document preparation vendor International Document Services, Inc. (IDS), announced it completed 139 updates to its flagship mortgage document preparation platform idsDoc in 2018. These updates were made in response to regulatory, client and investor directives. They also included the addition of new digital mortgage functionality and loan origination system (LOS) integrations.

As a result of these efforts, several IDS employees were honored by national industry trade publications for their contributions to both IDS and the mortgage industry.

"2018 marked a significant year of growth and development for IDS and the idsDoc platform, and as we move into 2019, IDS is on track to continue that trend, with several major system updates in the works," said IDS Vice President and General Manager Mark Mackey. "With nearly 60 percent of our employees working in New Product Development, Software Development and Customer Service, our top priority is to provide our clients with the tools they need to succeed in today's market, and having the industry recognize our talented group of employees for those efforts was truly an honor."

IDS kicked off its major system updates in 2018 by announcing the addition of hybrid eClosing capabilities in idsDoc. The new functionality was designed in response to "real-world" investor acceptance of digitally executed mortgage transactions and allows borrowers to electronically sign and execute the majority of closing documents.

Next, IDS announced the addition of an integrated XML file creation and submission system specifically for the Uniform Closing Dataset (UCD) to help clients avoid critical and fatal errors in the GSEs' delivery systems. IDS also made significant changes to idsDoc in advance of the October 2018 implementation deadline for TRID 2.0. Changes to the system included Loan Estimate (LE) Estimated Cost Expiration date inputs, the availability of Alternative LE/Closing Disclosure (CD) forms for simultaneous subordinate financing, disclosure of seller paid fees and principal reductions, data entry for the Summary of Transactions and Liabilities and Payoffs, and updates to the rounding and truncation of percentages. There were also TRID 2.0-related updates made to the LE/CD and Totals pages and the 1003 and Construction Lending sections in idsDoc.

In addition, IDS rolled out a brand new interface with MortgageFlex Systems in October 2018 that operates on the MISMO Version 3.3 data standard, ensuring joint IDS-MortgageFlex customers are able to fully comply with a host of regulatory requirements that operate off the MISMO Version 3.3 standard, including the UCD and TRID 2.0.

These efforts earned several IDS employees industry recognition in 2018. IDS In-House Counsel and Compliance Officer Vince Wilson was named to HousingWire Magazine's 2018 HW Rising Stars list, and Implementation Expert Tobias Griffith was also recognized by the publication as a 2018 Insiders Award honoree. Additionally, Beckie Santos, IDS's New Product Development Manager, was named to Mortgage Professional America's 2018 Elite Women in Mortgage list as well as HousingWire's 2018 Women of Influence list.

Continuing to strive for internal excellence, IDS announced in November the promotion of two employees to provide additional support in mission-critical areas of the organization. Former Manager of Implementation Clint Salisbury moved to the Sales and Marketing team, and Travis Carroll, who previously worked on the Integrations team, moved into Salisbury's role as head of the Implementation department.

"By building on the achievements and strategic personnel decisions we made in 2018, 2019 promises to bring even more exciting changes for IDS and its customers, and we look forward to continuing to help our clients meet the challenges of today while planning for the demands of tomorrow," Mackey said.

Utelogy Launches New Generation Management Portal to Monitor Your Entire AV Infrastructure

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Utelogy, maker of enterprise software platform for control and intelligent connected workspaces, launches an all-new U-Manage - the platform's management, monitoring and analytics portal - today at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2019 in Amsterdam.

U-Manage provides enterprise-wide visibility to rooms, equipment, issues, performance, and usage. It tracks all connected devices and delivers insights on those devices and the system as a whole, to enable more informed support and investment decisions to optimize the performance of rooms, real estate, and equipment.

The Utelogy platform is vendor-agnostic to deliver the operational agility necessary for today's enterprise. U-Manage allows organizations to centrally manage its entire AV infrastructure for better efficiency, cost savings and improved up-time.

As a core part of Utelogy's centralized approach to deploying and managing AV systems, the new features of U-Manage include:

* Re-designed user-interface and navigation

* Managed Service Provider portfolio overviews and individual customer views

* Customized dashboards to display system information in a visual manner

* Data-filtering by location, date, time and device

* Extensive report library including asset reports, firmware, warranty, utilization and more

* Configurable alerts and notifications

* Rest APIs and data connectors to expedite third party development including BI platforms.

"A key frustration for organizations has been the lack of data on workspaces and the devices within those spaces. The previous version of U-Manage did a great job alerting when a device in a room was off-line, but these latest enhancements to the portal provide the extraction of actionable data," explained COO William Tinnel.

"Now organizations will have the ability to view alerts and usage reports for rooms and all technology, including other control systems, as well as asset details like firmware versions and warranty reports. Most of the monitoring and management platforms on the market can only manage their own equipment. This new functionality provides incredible value for end-users and it opens up new opportunities for integrators and other service providers to offer managed services because you can now monitor legacy control systems," added Tinnel.

Utelogy, named to 2018 INC 5000, won a Commercial Integrator 2018 Top New Technology Award at ISE 2018 for its control platform. You can visit Utelogy at ISE 2019 in stand 14-M170 to see a demonstration of U-Manage.

SafeChain Collaborates with Accuity to Secure Real Estate Wire Transfers

EVANSTON, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- SafeChain, the industry leader in wire fraud prevention software and blockchain implementation for land title, announced today that it has integrated bank data from Accuity, the leading provider of financial crime compliance, payments and Know Your Customer (KYC) solutions, to enhance the security of real estate transactions. SafeChain's wire fraud prevention platform, SafeWire(TM), now incorporates information from the Accuity Bankers Almanac Routing and Transit Number (RTN) File, to give users greater confidence that funds are being wired to the correct account.

"As wire fraud schemes increase in both number and complexity, it is critical for title companies to authenticate and verify every aspect of the wire transaction to ensure consumers' funds are protected throughout," said SafeChain CEO and Co-founder Tony Franco. "The integration between SafeWire and Accuity, the Official Registrar of ABA Routing Numbers, provides additional peace of mind to all parties in a real estate transaction by ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of routing information and adding an additional safeguard against wire fraud."

In addition to SafeWire's current ABA and intermediary verification checks, the Accuity integration will make it easier for the consumer when an intermediary institution is needed to complete a wire transfer. Rather than relying on the consumer to gather the intermediary's routing information, Accuity will now collect and verify the information automatically and report it to the title company via SafeWire.

"Wire fraud in real estate transactions is one of the fastest growing cybercrimes in the United States, and the closing process, in particular, requires closer scrutiny of transactions," said Sarkis Akmakjian, Senior Director of Product Management at Accuity. "Bankers Almanac Routing and Transit Number File significantly reduces operational risk by ensuring the integrity of the payment origination data. We are pleased that SafeChain is working with us to optimize and reinforce the safety of its payments processes."

New Fitness App Celebrates Launch with Fitness Transformation Contest: 1 Workout 4 Life

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new smartphone sports and fitness app, 1 Workout 4 Life, launched by Fitness Spark Plug, is designed to get people in shape and keep them in shape - not just for the short-term, but long-term too. This flagship program is free to download on Google Play and the Apple App Store.

To celebrate its launch, 1 Workout 4 Life is running a nationwide transformation contest with a grand prize of $3,000. The deadline to enter is February 28, 2019, and no purchase is necessary (open to U.S. residents, age 18+, only).

Matthew Jay Fogle is the app's creator as well as a certified personal trainer. He says, "1 Workout 4 Life is the most sustainable gym workout on the planet."

The app is simple to follow and takes a whole-body approach to fitness. It's a complete workout that users can cycle for their entire life - not just 21 days, 30 days and so on.

"My philosophy is that people don't have to be infatuated with their workouts, as most of the fitness industry seems to promote," Fogle says. "Fitness should be implemented as a routine to help people accomplish their greater goals and life callings. Once you have that mentality, it becomes easier and more sustainable."

1 Workout 4 Life is a combination of exercise routines that uses multiple rep ranges and rest intervals, a mixture of cables, dumbbells, barbells and other modalities. It also includes compound and isolated movements for enhanced progression and targets all the major muscle groups.

People can easily customize their routines based on how many times per week they exercise. There are separate workouts for men and women, and each day's routine can be accomplished in about 45 minutes.

There are more than 40 exercises in the program, and video demonstrations are available at the touch of convenient links. Nutrition and lifestyle articles are also included in the app to give users a higher chance of success.

"1 Workout 4 Life is specifically designed to not only give users better health, but to also make them more aesthetically fit," Fogle says. "Most workout routines miss the point about proportional aesthetics. Many people who work out look like they go to the gym, but that doesn't mean they look good or healthy.

"If you care about making a splash socially or at work - creating more sales, being in command while public speaking, or doing whatever it is God has called you to do - it's important to walk into a room or onto a platform with a relaxed and charismatic stature. This program is specifically designed to do that for people."

Fogle is excited about the app's launch and its greater mission which is two-fold - to spread the love of fitness around the world and to communicate his Christian faith.

"It is God's calling for me to do this," he says.

NotaryCam Helps East Texas Title Complete Its First Remote Online Closing

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering and market leader in remote online notarization and mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that East Texas Title has executed its first remote online closing (ROC(TM)) in Texas since the state's remote online notarization law went into effect. The transaction, which was executed using NotaryCam's eClose360(R) eClosing platform, was performed on behalf of a couple currently located in Colorado and selling their property in Longview, Texas.

"We started conducting remote online closings on the seller's side first because that was something we could do immediately without having to wait for the lenders to be ready," said Celia Flowers, owner of East Texas Title. "What was really important to us was to stop mail outs because when you're mailing documents to people, they can get lost. They might not sign in all the right places and then send back incorrectly executed documents, which really holds up the transaction. With remote online notarizations and closings, it's instant, and the documents are signed correctly."

In addition to the sellers, a NotaryCam-trained Texas Signing Agent, the closer from East Texas Title, another representative from East Texas Title and NotaryCam's Director of Notary Operations Henry Smith were also present for the transaction via the platform's live video feed. In accordance with Texas law, all documents were signed and notarized and made accessible to East Texas Title immediately, with the full transaction taking less than one hour.

"Historically, we would have had to ship the documents to sellers in Denver and then wait for them to return the documents before we could complete the closing. By closing remotely with NotaryCam, we were able to complete the seller's side of the process the same day," Flowers added. "The sellers thought it was great because they didn't have to find a notary and could do it all online. The husband had some health issues so it was nice that he was able to be comfortable at home. The wife came in just as we were starting because she didn't have to leave work to go find a notary. For them, the convenience factor was a huge plus."

"The business case for remote online notarizations and closings is as clear today as it was back in 2012 when NotaryCam was founded. Home buyers and sellers are no longer constrained by geography, and the mortgage closing process must follow suit," said NotaryCam Founder Rick Triola. "Without the remote option, this couple was facing hundreds of dollars in extra expenses, not to mention extreme inconvenience, simply to complete the sale of their home. Having completed more than 130,000 remote online notarizations, we speak from experience when we say, 'There is a better way.'"

In July 2018, Texas became the third state to allow its notaries to perform remote online notarizations (RONs) nationwide, which is a critical component to the full ROC transaction. Today, Virginia, Montana, Texas, Nevada, Vermont, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Tennessee and Ohio have all passed some form of RON legislation.

"Remote online closings simply are not possible without remote online notarization, and we applaud these states in their foresight to allow their notaries to conduct these transactions not just within their individual jurisdictions, but worldwide," Triola added. "Given the size of the Texas real estate market, the state's adoption of remote online closings could prove to be a catalyst for more widespread adoption throughout the country."

About NotaryCam:

After pioneering the world's first remote online notarization (RON), career real estate executive Rick Triola founded NotaryCam in 2012, and shortly thereafter, the company completed the first mortgage remote online closing (ROC) in 2014. Today, NotaryCam is the leader in online notarization and mortgage eClosing solutions, having notarized documents worldwide for hundreds of thousands of customers in all 50 states. The company's patented eClose360(R) platform delivers the "perfect" online mortgage closing in every jurisdiction with a flexible workflow for document recording and unparalleled identity verification, security and customer convenience. NotaryCam also proudly maintains an industry-leading 99.8 percent customer satisfaction rating.

One of the Largest Independent Title Companies in Texas Expands Use of SafeWire to All 25 Offices

COLUMBUS, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- SafeChain, the industry leader in wire fraud prevention software and blockchain implementation for land title, announced today that Providence Title, one of the largest independent title companies in Texas, has expanded its deployment of SafeWire(TM) to include all 25 offices throughout the state. Moving forward, Providence Title's network of agents will use SafeWire to verify the identities of transaction participants, authenticate bank account ownership as well as securely store and transmit wiring instructions.

"Trust is paramount to the real estate transaction, and with wire fraud continuing to threaten our industry, we needed to do everything in our power to help our customers' ensure their transactions are secure," said Dan Foster, CEO of Providence Title. "Combatting wire fraud has been a major initiative for us, and SafeChain was the best partner we could have chosen to help us achieve our goals. Every title company needs to move to a platform like this."

SafeWire ensures the integrity and security of real estate wire transactions. The platform leverages bank-level authentication and blockchain technology to prevent unauthorized parties from taking part in the transaction, tampering with transaction information or intercepting wire funds.

While business email compromise (BEC) schemes - the most common method of committing wire fraud - are on the rise across all industries, the real estate sector has been a particular area of focus for fraudsters. According to FBI data, from June 2016 to May 2018 real estate BEC schemes resulted in more than $1.6 billion in losses in the U.S. As government agencies consider regulatory changes to address the growing problem, such as requiring payee matching for all wire transactions, title companies have turned to platforms like SafeWire, which already includes payee matching, for a more immediate solution.

"Wire fraud isn't going away, and if the real estate industry continues to rely on antiquated technology and processes, the easier it becomes for fraudsters to hijack these transactions," said Tony Franco, CEO and co-founder of SafeChain. "SafeChain firmly believes in the power of technology and education to address this issue, and we're increasingly seeing title agents buy in to this shared vision, with companies like Providence Title paving the way for their peers."

About SafeChain:

SafeChain makes real estate transactions safer and modernizes operations for both the public and private sectors of the land title industry. Built by real estate title experts in collaboration with banking technologists, SafeChain tackles the inefficiencies of the home buying and selling process from the inside-out to help title companies, mortgage bankers, realtors and local governments decrease costs and deliver a better experience for customers. Leveraging the most advanced technologies, including blockchain, SafeChain increases the speed and security of real estate closings to deliver faster transactions and better consumer confidence.

Looking to Recover Deleted Files? Wondershare’s Recoverit Free Software Can Help Recover Lost Files Free

SHENZHEN, China /ScoopCloud/ -- There are several options to store data such as on hard drives, memory cards and SD cards. Sometimes however these storage devices can experience issues resulting in lost files or in worse cases deletion of data. That's a big issue that Wondershare's recently launched software - Recoverit - aims to solve with its award worthy algorithms that help recover files that may have been lost due to one or more reasons including accidental deletion, virus attacks, etc.

The most noteworthy feature of this deleted files freeware is that it supports a wide range of file formats, and works seamlessly on both Windows and macOS operating systems.

Learn more: https://recoverit.wondershare.com/deleted-file-recovery/free-data-recovery-software-to-recover-deleted-file.html

This safe and reliable lost data recovery solution works just as well on external storage devices such as memory cards, external storage devices and SD cards as it does on Windows and macOS hard drives, making it an all-rounder in the free deleted file recovery software segment.

The common perception when files are deleted is that they are permanently deleted, and no longer exist on the computer or mobile system even with the Shift + Delete command. This however isn't always the case! Most deleted files are generally only permanently gone from the computer's system when they are overwritten by other newer files.

But this where things get tricky, because there's no sure-shot way of determining when exactly files on a computer are being overwritten. Recoverit is backed by the latest free deleted file recovery software technology, and works in the backend to analyze a respective storage device's memory, and then presents users with the files that can be retrieved in a well laid out viewing window in its intuitive user interface.

Recoverit can easily recover files such as audio, photos, music, emails from any storage device. But that's not all, the software can help users get back files from several devices including PC's, laptops, digital cameras and camcorders. Some of the situations from where Recoverit can retrieve data include system crashes, malware attacks and lost partitions.

With Recoverit, users get the best of both worlds - free data recovery windows software and one that is easy to use by both novice and seasoned computer users. The software can be downloaded with just a few clicks, and installed just as easily. Once downloaded and installed, users simply launch the software, and then select the recovery mode that best fits their situation.

Learn more: https://recoverit.wondershare.com/free-data-recovery/free-windows-10-data-recovery-software.html

For example - to recover deleted files from the recycling bin, user will need to select Recycle Bin Recovery from the user interface for optimal results. After the scanning process is complete, the files that can be recovered from the storage device and then they will be displayed in the preview Window where users can select the files they wish to restore.

To retrieve files from external storage devices such as pen drives, users need to launch Recoverit, click on the External Devices Recovery tab, and let the software work its magic. For a software that helps recover several different types of files and formats including word files, excel files, zip files, Recoverit seems to be a promising solution.

About Wondershare:

Founded more than a decade ago, Wondershare has evolved into one of the most esteemed data recovery software providers. The company is a key member of the National Planning Software Enterprises, and has a user footprint in over 150 countries worldwide.

With development centers in Shenzhen and Tokyo, and marketing branches in Tokyo and Vancouver, the company is regarded as an industry leader owing to its implementation of the latest technology and innovation in the products created by the company in all the products it creates.

There are several options to store data such as on hard drives, memory cards and SD cards. Sometimes however these storage devices can experience issues resulting in lost files.

LenderCity Chooses FinKube’s ELSA AI-Powered Virtual Assistant

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- FinKube, a company that provides AI-powered Platform-as-a-Service solutions for a range of industries, announced today that St. Louis-based LenderCity has successfully deployed ELSA, FinKube's Electronic Loan Services Assistant. The mortgage industry's first chatbot is already interacting with prospective borrowers on the LenderCity website.

"Consumers want immediate answers to their home finance questions and ELSA is smart enough to provide the information they need and gather the information we need to prequalify the borrower," said Gregg Harris, principal at LenderCity. "We know we need to respond very quickly to borrower requests for information, but we also want to capture as much information from them as we can, without taking up the loan officer's time. FinKube's ELSA is the answer."

ELSA is the industry's first intelligent assistant and uses AI and machine learning to enhance the origination process from origination to close. Her AI is powerful enough to gather borrower information, render decisions, automate time-consuming tasks and help lenders produce fully compliant mortgage loans in as few as 20 days, though she is well versed in any form of consumer lending.

"American home buyers still want to visit with a live loan officer before signing on a new mortgage, but it's not efficient to spend the loan officer's time in conference with borrowers who do not qualify," said Jorge Sauri, founder and CEO of FinKube. "At the same time, those borrowers who do qualify expect to have their questions answered immediately. They don't want to wait for a call back. They want to feel like they are in control. Most chatbot technology cannot offer that, but ELSA does."

With ELSA, LenderCity is able to hyper personalize the home finance transaction at every stage.

Studies have shown that this
* Reduces customer acquisition costs by 50-80%
* Increases engagement and conversion by 500%
* Reduces customer service costs by 50-80%
* Increases loan retention by a factor of 6.

As an A.I.-powered virtual assistant, ELSA works 24/7/365 pre-qualifying leads, communicating with customers and synchronizing outreach across chat, text, voice, email, and mobile wallet. In addition, FinKube can deploy ELSA ten times faster than generic chatbots that can't speak mortgage out of the box.

ZKTeco USA Announces Partnership with V-Authenticate

FAIRFIELD, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- ZKTeco USA, a leading provider of biometric and RFID security solutions, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with V-Authenticate, an independently owned software developer primarily known for their next-generation visitor management software called VAMS (Visitor Authentication and Management System).

ZK VAMS is currently implemented in over 1,000 locations representing over 350 customers located in 13 countries across the world. VAMS is used by many Fortune 500 companies representing several vertical markets including commercial & residential property management, banking, consumer product manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and education, to name a few.

VAMS software uniquely incorporates visitor AUTHENTICATION. Whereas traditional visitor management solutions allow the visitors to display any ID credential they chose (i.e. driver's license, passport, etc.), VAMS requires the visitor to prove their identity by displaying on their phone a QR code or an OTP (One Time Password) sent from the visitor's "host" via text message or e-mail. VAMS prevents imposters and unauthorized users from gaining fraudulent access to a facility.

As noted by ZKTeco USA President & Founder Manish Dalal, "While we see incredible increases in security product expenditures, it concerns me greatly also seeing customers neglect their visitor management strategy. Regardless how much time and money you spend fortify your building, your investment is wasted if you cannot safely and efficiently inspect and track visitors. We've adopted the VAMS software to address this important void in the market."

V-Authenticate CEO Nikhil Kothary added "We've seen tremendous adoption of our VAMS software by end-users. By partnering with ZKTeco, we additionally gain access to the thousands of physical & logical security installers currently partnering with ZKTeco. VAMS is very affordable and I'm confident will do well in ZKTeco's sales channel."

Anow Closes 2018 with 110-percent Year-over-Year Increase in Orders Processed Through Its Digital Appraisal Office Management Technology

RED DEER, Alberta /ScoopCloud/ -- Digital appraisal management software developer Anow reported a record 110 percent year-over-year increase in appraisal orders processed through its core appraisal office management platform in 2018 despite an industry-wide, market-driven drop in orders per customer. The announcement follows a year punctuated by major product launches and enhancements as the growing firm continues to lead the appraisal industry in innovation.

"We're proud to put appraisal firms that use Anow light years ahead of their competition," said Anow Founder and President Marty Haldane. "In 2019, we'll continue to redefine the speed, efficiency and transparency with which appraisers work with mortgage lenders and other clients."

Just last month, Nations Valuations Services integrated Anow's appraisal management software into its AppraisalTRAX(TM) management system, fueling faster turn times for its 16,000-strong appraiser network and an improved experience for its mortgage lender customers.

In September, Anow filed patents to protect its proprietary mass collaboration technology, which enables teams of appraisers to radically reduce turn times by working simultaneously on appraisal reports and which Anow expects will power the next generation of bifurcated appraisal products.

Anow also filed patents on its proximity-based assignment system designed to improve the borrower experience and reduce friction in the inspection-setting process.

In August, the company announced its forthcoming Anow Enterprise, a platform for mortgage lenders that enables instant, on-demand appraisal booking and leverages artificial intelligence to pair lender deadlines and quality-control criteria with the best appraiser for the job based on availability, travel schedule and workload.

May 2018 saw the introduction of Anow Connect, a platform that connects appraisal firms directly with their customers via a branded, mobile-first portal that automates appraisal order acceptance, scheduling, status updates, file sharing, messaging, report delivery and payment collection.

Anow also rolled out over 4,100 feature enhancements designed to simplify the lives of appraisers and help make their businesses more efficient. These included significant enhancements to Anow's mobile appraisal and home inspection platforms; simplification of Anow's payment collections, payment processing and payroll systems; significant improvements to the APIs that facilitate integrations with Anow's partners; enhanced reporting; and architectural changes to accommodate the platform's growing volume of appraisers and orders.

Anow also added new capabilities that enable multiple appraisal companies to more seamlessly work together and gave users the ability to import work history into Anow.

Anow is currently accepting participants for a closed beta of its next appraisal software innovation, Anow NEXUS, which is being developed with input from the American Society of Appraisers (ASA), the National Association of Appraisers (NAA) and the Business Association of Real Estate Appraisers (BAREA). For more information, see https://anow.com/NAA.

Anow is an appraisal management software developer that simplifies the way real estate appraisers manage their businesses.

SafeChain Digitizes Property Deed Transfer and Conveyance for Perry County, Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- SafeChain, the industry leader in wire fraud prevention software and blockchain implementation for land title, announced today it has completed the digital conversion of Perry County, Ohio's deed transfer and conveyance process between the engineer and auditor. Beginning January 7, the Perry County Engineer's office will be able to digitize property deeds before the inspection and mapping process.

Moving forward, each deed will receive a digital stamp backed by blockchain for added transparency and security, eliminating the need for physical authorization. The deeds will then be electronically transferred to the county Auditor's office for conveyance.

"As public servants, our top priority is to ensure that we operate as efficiently as possible to best serve our constituents - regardless of the size of our jurisdiction," said Perry County Auditor Drew Cannon. "By working with SafeChain and the Perry County Engineer to modernize our operations and eliminate the need for a physical stamp, we've completed a key step for a 100 percent digital deed transfer and conveyance process. Through this project, we are providing transparency for property owners about their deed status, while also increasing our operational efficiency."

Perry County marks another successful public-private partnership in which SafeChain has worked with local government officials to utilize the latest technology to transact property more efficiently. Its second successfully executed use case was deed issuance with Franklin County, Ohio. SafeChain's previous endeavors also include its commercial wire fraud product, SafeWire(TM). With the completion of the Perry County project, SafeChain has, for the third time, leveraged blockchain to positively impact the real estate transfer process, representing significant progress on Ohio's goal to transfer all real property using blockchain.

"When SafeChain entered the real estate industry, we knew that tackling the industry's biggest challenges in both the public and private sectors was the only way to truly innovate a process that has existed for hundreds of years," said Tony Franco, CEO and co-founder of SafeChain. "Perry County is a great example of how innovation comes from across the state and isn't limited to metropolitan jurisdictions. By eliminating these physical and analog processes, SafeChain is excited to continue partnering with forward-thinking elected officials to improve the taxpayer experience of transacting property."

About SafeChain:

SafeChain makes real estate transactions safer and modernizes operations for both the public and private sectors of the land title industry. Built by real estate title experts in collaboration with banking technologists, SafeChain tackles the inefficiencies of the home buying and selling process from the inside-out to help title companies, mortgage bankers, realtors and local governments decrease costs and deliver a better experience for customers. Leveraging the most advanced technologies, including blockchain, SafeChain increases the speed and security of real estate closings to deliver faster transactions and better consumer confidence.

United Community Bank Picks LBA Ware’s CompenSafe for Efficient, Flexible Automation of Loan Originator and Processor Commissions

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware(TM), provider of the leading automated incentive compensation and sales performance management platform for mortgage lenders, announced today that Georgia-based United Community Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ: UCBI) ("United") has deployed CompenSafe(TM) to automate loan originator (LO) and processor commissions.

The FDIC-insured community bank has been using CompenSafe to efficiently and compliantly automate commissions for its 80 LOs and supporting loan processors since August. CompenSafe's built-in integrations with the bank's payroll provider and Ellie Mae(R) Encompass(R) loan origination system (LOS) helped make the bank's transition away from spreadsheets a smooth one.

"Before CompenSafe, our commissions process was arduous and ate up a lot of man-hours," said Mike Davies, president of United Community Bank Mortgage Services, the mortgage lending division of United. "Our outdated process required several steps with manual input that we knew would not be sustainable as our company continues to grow."

"We wanted a more efficient process - something that would stand up to audits and that could be monitored, managed and scaled for growth," Davies continued. "CompenSafe was a brilliant choice for us because of its out-of-the-box integrations with our payroll and origination systems. It's greatly simplified the commissions process and given our HR, accounting and audit departments a high degree of confidence that everything is done with exactness and thoroughly documented."

CompenSafe gives United much-needed flexibility to control its own compensation schedules, including the ability to specify multiple KPIs and payout tiers. For example, while the bank's LOs earn commissions based on the number and volume of loans closed, its processors are bonused based on performance metrics like speed and quality. Commission projections are updated automatically in CompenSafe as loans close and are available to LOs and processors on-demand to help motivate performance.

"We're proud to offer United Community Bank a flexible solution for automating not just LO commissions, but also performance-based bonus payouts for loan processors, whose quality and speed of work is essential to delivering an exceptional borrower experience," said LBA Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. "CompenSafe helps producers stay motivated and lets banks say goodbye to manual, spreadsheet-driven processes without missing a beat when it comes to maintaining a compliant audit trail."

United Community Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ: UCBI) is a bank holding company headquartered in Blairsville, Georgia with $12.4 billion in assets.

SecurityNational Mortgage Implements a Fully Paperless Closing Process Using DocMagic’s Total eClose Platform

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant and document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, and SecurityNational Mortgage Corporation (SNMC), an independent national mortgage banker, jointly announced that they successfully rolled out DocMagic's comprehensive Total eClose(TM) platform.

Since rolling out Total eClose in September, SNMC has reduced borrower time at the closing table to as little as 15 minutes, and become one of the first national lenders to offer a true eClosing solution that involves no paper whatsoever. It has dramatically sped up the closing process, ensuring accuracy and loan quality, and delivering newfound efficiencies for borrowers, notaries and settlement providers. Total eClose enables SNMC's customers to preview documents prior to closing, eSign all documents, and complete both remote and in-person eNotarizations. As a result, SNMC is now positioned to capture more market share, reduce operational costs, expedite closing times and elevate the borrower experience.

"Our goal was to perfect a completely digital eClosing process, not to be just another lender offering a basic hybrid closing," said Steve Johnson, president of SNMC. "Achieving our goal required a powerful end-to-end technology, a perfectly executed seamless implementation, and an intuitive interface that everyone-staff, settlement service providers and borrowers-could use immediately, without a steep learning curve. We got that and more with DocMagic. Plus, the DocMagic implementation team was with us all the way. We never had to worry about a thing."

The two companies approached the project as partners to ensure swift adoption and a quick understanding of the new workflow-driven eClosing process for both SNMC's staff and customers. DocMagic worked hand-in-hand with the lender, leveraging its vast eMortgage expertise to help sculpt a unique strategy and a successful go-to-market launch. Unlike other document and eClosing solution providers, DocMagic takes an ultra hands-on approach to implementations, from developing the project roadmap, to training all parties-such as staff, title agents and notaries-to synchronized testing of each facet of the Total eClose platform.

"Our implementation teams function like expert consultants-we work very closely with each client, guiding them literally every step of the way," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "There is a huge number of moving pieces in an eClosing solution. As a single source solution, we have intricate knowledge of every one of them, so there are none of the issues that plague other providers-not only immediately after the implementation, but over the long haul as well. In contrast, lenders who choose incomplete or cobbled-together eClosing technologies may have to hit the restart button within 12 to 18 months and search for a comprehensive solution."

DocMagic is a recognized eClosing pioneer, and has been a part of virtually every state-first eClosing in the U.S.

"We're pleased to work with companies like SecurityNational Mortgage that truly understand the value of implementing a 100 percent paperless eClosing process," said Iannitti. "They have taken a leadership position in facilitating eClosings and are ready for an inflow of new business that will be conducted very efficiently."

DocMagic's comprehensive suite of eSolutions and eServices also includes SMARTDocs, eNotes capability, eVault technology, eWarehouse lending, and even loan servicing.

DocMagic, Inc. is the leading provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions for the mortgage industry.
