Laser App Software

What Laser App Software does

Laser App Software, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania, is a privately held subsidiary of iPipeline Inc. that provides forms automation and management software primarily to the securities and insurance industries. The company's core function is eliminating manual paperwork for financial advisors, broker-dealers, registered investment advisors (RIAs), and insurance carriers by combining a centralized, daily-updated library of pre-programmed industry forms with CRM-driven auto-prefill logic and electronic signature workflows. The product is reported to be used by over 100,000 advisors, agents, and firms.

The product portfolio centers on two primary platforms. Laser App Enterprise is a Windows-installed desktop solution priced at a $499 one-time license plus $299 annual renewal per rep, built for high-volume, day-to-day forms processing with batch operations and CRM integrations. Laser App Anywhere is a cloud-based browser-accessible solution at $599 per user per year (minimum 5 users), targeted at mobile and multi-device advisor workflows. Supporting offerings include the Custom Forms Service ($100 setup fee plus $20 per page), the Transition Tool ($5,900 per year for unlimited 90-day broker-dealer back-office licenses that compress advisor repapering from weeks to days), Connect (ClickOnce-based automated deployment), and Enterprise Lite. The platform's technical differentiation is anchored in a library of 33,120 forms — including 10,091 forms sourced from over 340 top broker-dealers and updated daily directly from each form's author — and more than 70 native integrations spanning CRM (Salesforce, Redtail, Wealthbox, Junxure, Tamarac, ACT!), e-signature (DocuSign, Adobe Sign, Signix, Silanis, AlphaTrust), and account opening, financial planning, and document management platforms. A Developer SDK extends the platform to .NET, Java, Python, JavaScript, Swift, and other environments.

Revenue is generated through annual software subscriptions, one-time licenses with annual renewal fees, and ancillary service charges. GTM is hybrid: direct website and phone-based sales serve individual advisors and SMBs, inside sales handle enterprise and volume pricing, and a channel layer of 70+ integration partners distributes the product through their installed platforms. Marketing centers on the annual Financial Services Conference (moved to San Francisco in 2017 and opened to the broader industry), partner co-marketing, and a knowledge base/training portal. Ed Beggs is identified as founder/owner. No AI/ML capabilities, funding rounds, or audited revenue figures are disclosed in the source material.

Broad incumbents

• iPipeline: Parent company of Laser App and adjacent insurance/wealth software provider (illustrations, e-applications, underwriting). Overlap in life insurance and broker-dealer workflows makes iPipeline both the owner and the most commercially aligned peer.
• Vertafore: Major insurance-industry software platform offering agency management, rating, and forms automation to carriers and agencies. Directly comparable to Laser App's insurance forms automation but broader in scope across the insurance lifecycle.
• Applied Systems: Leading insurance agency management system provider with workflow and document automation capabilities. Comparable to Laser App's insurance vertical functionality, though Applied covers a broader agency-management workflow.
• DocuSign: Industry-leading e-signature platform with growing document and forms automation capabilities. Currently an integration partner but a competitor at the signature and increasingly at the workflow layer for advisors.
• Adobe Acrobat Sign: Adobe's e-signature and PDF forms suite with deep enterprise penetration. Comparable to Laser App's e-signature integrations and a broader forms competitor across regulated industries.
• Microsoft Power Automate: General-purpose workflow and forms automation platform with enterprise scale. Competes for the same paperless-processing use cases financial advisors address via Laser App, particularly for larger enterprise deployments.

Direct peers

• FormPiper (Finastra): Forms automation product within Finastra's wealth-management suite that pre-fills and processes financial forms for broker-dealers and advisors. Direct functional peer to Laser App Enterprise and Anywhere.
• SuranceBay: Insurance compliance and forms automation platform for life insurance agents and carriers. Directly comparable to Laser App's insurance forms workflows serving agents, advisors, and insurance companies.

Emerging players

• Zywave: Insurance-industry technology provider offering workflow, content, and analytics tools for agents and brokerages. Overlaps with Laser App's insurance forms automation for agents and brokerage operations.
• Salesforce Financial Services Cloud: Industry-tailored CRM with workflow automation for wealth managers and insurance producers. Currently an integration partner, but represents a competitive threat if Salesforce builds deeper native forms automation.
