First Community Mortgage Advances Wholesale Digital Strategy with Blue Sage TPO Portal
Englewood Cliffs, NJ – June 4, 2026 – Blue Sage Solutions, a leading provider of innovative cloud-based, digital-lending technology, announced today that First Community Mortgage (FCM), a wholly owned subsidiary of First Community Bank of Tennessee, is continuing to advance its digital wholesale transformation through the new updated Blue Sage Third-Party Origination (TPO) Portal. The cloud-native platform enables FCM’s wholesale division, which operates under the brand name A Mortgage Boutique (AMB), to deliver a more streamlined, intelligent, and connected experience for broker partners while improving visibility, automation, and efficiency across the loan lifecycle. As lenders continue evaluating how automation, AI, and workflow intelligence can reduce operational friction, many are rethinking fragmented third-party origination processes and legacy portal technology.
The Blue Sage TPO Portal allows lenders to manage wholesale and correspondent lending within a unified digital platform, helping teams streamline partner onboarding, automate workflows, and maintain real-time visibility across the pipeline through intelligent automation and AI-ready infrastructure.
This milestone builds on FCM’s continued investment in digital transformation. The lender previously rolled out the Blue Sage Digital Mortgage Platform to its wholesale channel and is now fully operational on the enhanced TPO portal. With this implementation, FCM’s broker partners benefit from a streamlined, modern experience from loan submission through closing.
FCM’s journey with Blue Sage began in retail. Going live in 2023, FCM deployed the Blue Sage Digital Lending Platform and LION Consumer POS across its retail division. The success of that rollout laid the foundation for expanding into wholesale, and now delivering a best-in-class broker experience.
“With Blue Sage, we’ve been able to transform our retail operations and now we’re bringing that same level of efficiency and transparency to our broker partners,” said Andrew Badstuber, CIO of First Community Mortgage. “The Blue Sage TPO portal gives our broker partners a faster, more intuitive experience while helping our teams improve visibility, streamline communication, and move loans more efficiently from submission through closing.”
“First Community Mortgage continues to demonstrate how lenders can modernize operations by bringing retail and wholesale lending onto a unified platform built around automation,” said Carmine Cacciavillani, president and founder of Blue Sage Solutions. “By simplifying workflows and improving real-time connectivity across channels, FCM is creating a faster, more intelligent experience for both internal teams and broker partners.”
