"We at LoanBeam believe we have found the ideal firm in LoanLogics, one to work closely with as we continue to grow and introduce new capabilities to the market," said Steve Puckett, CEO of LoanBeam. "LoanLogics, like LoanBeam, is known as an in- novator using advanced technol- ogy including machine learning to define, identify, extract, and run mortgage rules against static data for the creation of actionable, digital data output.

This is the first acquisition made by LoanLogics since it was acquired.
