NAR Midyear is almost here, and REALTORS® across the nation are packing their bags and finalizing their schedules. Some of you may be planning to just hit the trade show floor and explore, while others are using tech tools like NAR's Midyear Mobile App or Online Planner to figure out what booths and events to attend.

Whatever your approach, we recommend visiting zipLogix® at booth 1900. zipLogix® was the pioneer of forms management in real estate and they continue to bring cutting edge innovation to each upgrade of their system. This year, they are highlighting progress made to improve usability, store and manage documents, and improve forms automation.

Nearly every real estate professional is familiar with their flagship product, zipForm®, and this year the company will be previewing the next generation of zipForm® at the trade expo. Dubbed zipForm® Plus, this updated version takes all the functionality that users are accustomed to and wraps it in a new, more attractive package.

It's more than just attractive, though. zipForm® is a powerhouse of a solution--sometimes to an intimidating degree. We're excited to see zipLogix® adapting to the larger tech sphere's movement towards clean aesthetics that Apple started years ago. After all, a well-designed interface is more than just pleasing to the eye. When form meets functionality in an intentional way, the entire user experience is transformed.

Redefining the User Experience

The user experience is exactly what zipLogix® looks to improve with zipForm® Plus. They began by removing the need for third party browser plug-ins. By rebuilding zipForm® with HTML5, zipLogix® has eliminated the use of Java--and its accompanying browser crashes.

If you think that this attention to detail is a good sign, you'd be right. zipForm®'s entire online workspace has also been redesigned in order to increase efficiency. The form viewer has received an overhaul, forms load faster, and all tools are now easily accessible. Creating a transaction in zipForm® has never been simpler.

Other improvements to zipForm® include:

• Unified Transaction List - By integrating the zipVault® interface with zipForm Plus®, users are now able to view stored files with transaction forms in one list for a more cohesive experience.
• Improved Search - Transactions, contacts, and forms are now all equipped with a search bar. Search function has been improved, too. Results appear in real time as you type, similar to Google's search functionality.
• Email Signatures - Emails sent from zipForm® Plus now have the option to include an email signature. Users can customize their signature with formatted text, images, and links.
• Photo Customization - Add photos of your contacts to provide a visual reference throughout the transaction process. Photos also improve user navigation of the address book.
