    BeSmartee’s Alpha is an all-in-one broker POS-TPO platform. It is made specifically for third-party originators (TPO) and wholesale lenders. This offering goes beyond an online 1003 form and includes a product and pricing engine (PPE), fee aggregation, automated underwriting (AUS), initial disclosures and reporting; everything that is needed for brokers to originate a loan. Furthermore, brokers receive the ability to make loan submissions to one or more wholesale lenders. From here, loan data is synced back from the wholesale lender all the way to close.

    Product Fast Facts:

    - Eliminates 3 logins on average

    - Cuts loan submission time by 2.29 hours per loan

    - Cuts loan data updates from wholesale lender by 2.55 hours per loan

    A publicly traded insurance company decided to enter mortgage originations as a broker. With BeSmartee’s Broker Point-of-Sale (POS), this client was able to empower ~3,000 full-time insurance agents and help them become as effective as 3,000 full-time originators, thereby making this client one of the largest broker originators in the country within 2 years. 

    Using this as a model as a blueprint, BeSmartee began development on Alpha in early 2022, with the new product launching in September 2022. Our 2023 sales forecast calls for ~$500K through the Alpha channel.
