IndiSoft partners with FormFree to streamline the delivery of housing counseling services to underserved consumers

ATHENS, Ga. -- FormFree® today announced that developer of collaborative solutions for the housing finance industry, IndiSoft, is leveraging FormFree's Passport® to enable HUD-approved housing counseling agencies (HCAs) to provide more effective and expeditious consumer counseling.

IndiSoft's National Housing Advocacy Platform (NHAP) seamlessly connects thousands of HUD-certified housing counselors with mortgage lenders, servicers and investors. Passport is an app that enables consumers to electronically share their Financial DNA - which is made up of direct-source identity, asset, income, employment, public records, credit and rent payment data - with financial professionals. Integrating Passport with IndiSoft's HUD-certified client management system, RxOffice CMS, enables housing counselors to advise consumers more efficiently and increase the number of successful consumer outcomes.

HCAs provide an array of counseling services, including pre-purchase, foreclosure prevention and reverse mortgage counseling, and are playing an increasingly vital role in expanding affordable homeownership among low-to-moderate income borrowers and borrowers of color. The HUD Office of Housing Counseling reports that since 2012, it has supported 12.2 million households who sought housing counseling assistance through a HUD-approved HCA.

"Streamlining how HCAs collaborate with consumers and key stakeholders enables HCAs to provide better quality service and increase successful homeownership outcomes for those who need it most," said FormFree Founder and CEO Brent Chandler. "It is with great pride that FormFree partners with IndiSoft to bring innovation to such an important sector of the housing ecosystem."

"As the entire mortgage lending and financial counseling sectors collaborate to close the wealth and homeownership gaps in the United States, we are committed to working with partners like FormFree who share these objectives and deliver products and services that enable their fulfillment," said Hans Rusli, CEO of IndiSoft LLC.

"FormFree is proud to partner with IndiSoft to empower HUD-approved housing counseling agencies with cutting-edge technology that streamlines the consumer counseling process," said FormFree President Eric Lapin. "By integrating our innovative Passport app with IndiSoft's National Housing Advocacy Platform, we are enabling housing counselors to better support sustainable homeownership."

Mopec Announces Distribution Partnership with StatLab to Bring You the Best Cassette Printer in North America

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. -- Mopec, a leading manufacturer of anatomic pathology grossing stations, announced their new distributor partnership with StatLab to allow their customers the opportunity to purchase StatLab PiSmart Cassette Printers directly from Mopec.

Widely reviewed as the best cassette printer on the market, the StatLab PiSmart Cassette Printer is designed to improve accuracy, efficiency, and automation in your lab. This new partnership will simplify the process for customers looking to upgrade their grossing station expenditures with additional equipment and accessories.

"Mopec prides itself on building the safest and most advanced grossing stations and pathology equipment in the market," said Carmen Evola, CEO of Mopec. "If there's something we can't build, we're going to partner with someone who can. Mopec is thrilled to work with StatLab to help us provide our customers with a product we trust from a company we can rely on."

The PiSmart Cassette Printer is available in two models, the PiSmart Single Plus and the PiSmart Six. The PiSmart Single Plus is suitable for on-demand printing and can deliver the first printed cassette in under three seconds. The PiSmart Six offers more functionality with 6 cassette hoppers and can be used for on-demand or batch printing.

Both models feature a built-in scanner as well as an internal label design software allowing the printer to be used efficiently without the use of a PC. The true on-demand printing and small footprint makes the PiSmart Cassette Printer ideal for integrating seamlessly with the Mopec Maestro Grossing Station, giving customers unparalleled convenience and workflow optimization in their lab.

"Mopec was in search of a cassette printer that met the same quality and convenience our customers have grown accustomed to when ordering from Mopec," said Jeff Pemberton, Vice President of Marketing & Consumables. "We wanted to provide an option that would integrate well with our Maestro grossing stations and that we felt comfortable putting our reputation behind. StatLab's PiSmart was the obvious choice."

Along with the PiSmart Cassette Printers, Mopec is also adding Pi Cassettes to their Consumables lineup. Pi Cassettes are designed specifically for use on the PiSmart printer. They utilize a patented feature that both protects the printed surface during dewaxing, while still enabling the surface to be cleared of wax.

Armadillo x Beycome: Expanding the real-estate ecosystem

MIAMI, Fla. -- Pioneering homeowner-centric tech startups Armadillo, a modern tech-enabled home warranty platform, and beycome, a leading tech-enabled digital real estate platform, have launched a partnership to provide homeowners and soon-to-be homeowners with an additional tool to facilitate the home selling experience.

This collaboration provides beycome's 'seller' clients with the ability to add an Armadillo home warranty in-app to reduce friction for the seller and move the transaction along more smoothly and efficiently. Armadillo's product also provides support via seller's coverage, which covers the cost of appliance/system breakdowns that may occur leading up to a closing date.

"Armadillo's value proposition goes arm-in-arm with beycome and their client base. Adding an Armadillo plan removes any uncertainties around potential breakdowns of home appliances/systems and removes obstacles that could hinder a sale. Armadillo x Beycome means that properties sell more quickly and at a higher value," said Armadillo CEO Matan Slagter.

"Our partnership with Armadillo aligns with our goal of making real estate transactions as stress-free as possible, and this home warranty plan is a critical component of that effort," said beycome CEO Nico Jodin. "We quickly discovered we share a fundamental ethos and circumstance: the inception of both companies was a response to the industry standard that just wasn't cutting it. We were both driven to do things differently and we knew there would be an opportunity in the future to do something meaningful together."

In December 2022, Armadillo and Beycome began work on an integration, and hit the market in under 2 weeks. When the Armadillo x Beycome collab dropped - despite it being during the slowest real estate season - home sellers jumped to add Armadillo coverage to their listings.

Armadillo and Beycome are next-generation platforms for homeowners and sellers. With the Armadillo x Beycome partnership, the platforms make buying and renting a home easier, faster, cheaper and fair by helping buyers and renters through every step of the process, consolidating it all in one digital platform and putting commission dollars back in the sellers' pocket.

ABOUT BEYCOME:

Beycome is a real estate technology platform that revolutionized the process of buying and selling homes. By eliminating the need for a real estate agent, beycome allows users to digitally purchase or sell their home and everything in between, resulting in significant cost savings on commissions. Since its launch in July 2020, beycome has closed 5,700 properties worth $1.7 billion, saving users over $51 million in commissions. With a remarkable pace of one property closing every 40 minutes, beycome is a modern, faster, easier, and cheaper alternative For Sale by Owner or traditional real estate practices. It is worth noting that beycome operates entirely without in-house realtors.

ABOUT ARMADILLO:

Armadillo is a technology company that offers home warranty plans designed for a new generation of homeowners.
