Last month we were excited to introduce Path™ to the market at MBA Tech in Florida. We held special showings to demonstrate its capabilities and unique functionality to lenders at the conference.
Path is our newest cloud based platform designed for retail and wholesale lenders. Its configurable architecture is unique to the market and we’re thrilled to offer this much-needed feature in Path.
Path does not replace Point® or PointCentral®. We’re proud that Point has served our loyal customers for over 20 years and will continue to support them with the features and functions that they require as the industry evolves.
Path was designed specifically for the needs of lenders and will import both Point files and Fannie Mae 3.2 files for processing. The pipeline view for each user is configured by role, so users only see what they need to see to do their job. Here are just a few more of the features in Path:
- A unique role-based workflow
- 100% web-based accessibility that runs on the most-popular browsers (Google Chrome™ Safari®, Firefox®, Internet Explorer®, etc.)
- Customer-owned and controlled data on the Microsoft Azure™ cloud platform
- Configurable operating units user groups that mirror each client’s organizational structure
Find out if Path is right for you. See more at www.calyxsoftware.com or call your account manager at 800-362-2599 for details.

I can’t say enough about how excited I am that we’re going to have the opportunity to demo Path™ at next week’s MBA Tech conference in Hollywood, Florida!
The weather is going to be warm so if you’re ready for a change from winter, come down to sunny Florida. If you’ve got PointCentral® or Point Mobile, you can access your pipeline from anywhere so you don’t have to stay in the office when warmth and sunshine is calling your name.
We’re offering demos inside the Westin Diplomat, which is the host hotel, but you don’t have to attend the conference to participate. Just call 214-252-5684 and I’ll reserve you a spot in one of our scheduled showings.
Customers who have seen it so far love it and we know you will too. Path is 100% web based so it works on all your most popular browsers, including Apple’s Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.
Plus, if you haven’t seen the latest features of LoanScoreCard™, you can reserve a spot for a LoanScoreCard demo too.
I look forward to seeing you there! Remember to call me at 214-252-5684 to schedule your demos during MBA Tech April 14-16!

The beginning of each year brings with it the chance to start doing something new. Have you thought about what you might do differently this year?
If you have decided that it’s time to get your business leaner and meaner, you may be pondering ways to become more efficient with the tools you already have.
If that’s the case, you’re in luck. Today I’m going to tell you about streamlining your marketing. Marketing is near and dear to my heart so it should come as no surprise that I’m going to talk about it every year. It’s one of those things that business owners need to do, but there are just so many directions to take.
The simplest way to get started is to use what you already have. It’s cheaper that way and it gets you acclimated slowly to new ways of doing things. You might see great results right off the bat or you may have to tweak your messaging. Either way, you’ll know you’re moving in the right direction.
Instead of delving step by step into some of the marketing tools in Point, I’m going to give you some links that will provide detailed instructions and screen shots.
Creating Custom Forms
Importing a Word Document as a Custom Form
Inserting Word fields into a Custom Form
How to Generate Mailing Labels
How to add a Logo to Marketing Forms
