Written by on October 24, 2005

ORLANDO, FL — a la mode, inc., developer of multi-market real estate software and online services, and mortgage loan technology provider Pipeline Solutions announced a planned integration of a la mode's Mortgage XSites with Pipeline's Mortgage Software, a leading Loan Origination System (LOS).

Pipeline and a la mode will create a custom interface from a la mode's Mortgage XSite websites into Pipeline's loan software. a la mode's Mortgage XSites will provide Pipeline's users with a fully integrated Mortgage XSite providing the professional look and e-commerce tools to compete in a changing market.

Mortgage XSites get the kind of professional look and powerful tools normally found at the biggest lenders' corporate sites into the hands of brokers and smaller mortgage companies for an affordable price. With an intuitive site wizard, Mortgage XSite owners can be up and running in as little as 15 minutes, or easily customize their sites in unlimited ways. Borrowers can complete loan applications online, with contact and application information delivered right to the site owner for followup. Mortgage XSites' DirectFax feature turns paper, whether application forms or pay stubs, employment records, statements or the like, into digital PDFs with the use of any ordinary fax machine.

The companies made the announcement from the floor of the Mortgage Bankers Association's 92nd Annual Convention & Expo here.

Through this collaboration, Pipeline Solution users will also be able to place orders to their appraisers, right through their LOS, into the appraisal form filling software that resides on their appraisers' desktops. Appraisal assignment status updates will be pushed back to Pipeline users via a la mode's XSites Network. Appraisal reports will be delivered electronically back to the broker's desktop upon completion.

"Plugging Pipeline's LOS users into the XSites Network gives them a more efficient and faster way to work with their appraisers, and utilizing a fully integrated Mortgage XSite offers streamlined efficiencies for both the consumer and the mortgage professional providing on line tracking and status throughout the loan process" said Brad Eaton, Vice President of Product Management with a la mode. "Both companies' customers stand to win with the access to new business and new technology this alliance will open up," Eaton concluded.
