Summary
The ePACS© AI Solution functions as a rules-based workflow platform that automates three core functions. First, it automatically generates customized lists of clients within an advisor's portfolio who qualify for the public, non-traded alternative investments available on their broker-dealer's platform. Second, it ensures all investment recommendations comply with product eligibility and concentration regulations, reducing compliance risk. Third, it incorporates electronic signature functionality—the first industry-wide e-signature program for alternatives—accepted across 47 jurisdictions, substantially reducing paperwork redundancies and processing bottlenecks.
By accelerating transaction processing from weeks to days, the platform creates measurable operational and financial benefits across the value chain. Investor proceeds reach issuers faster, enabling earlier distribution commencement and faster commission payments to selling group members. The software ensures all transactions are documented, processed efficiently, and compliant with SEC regulations 17a-3 and 17a-4, addressing a significant pain point for compliance teams managing alternatives across distributed advisor networks.
The adoption rate underscores market appetite for this solution: over 300 clients, including some of the largest broker-dealers in the marketplace, are using Docupace's platform to manage workflow and store hundreds of millions of transaction records. The ePACS© AI Solution launch, developed in collaboration with Realty Capital Securities and Strategic Capital, positions Docupace as a central infrastructure provider for the alternatives distribution ecosystem at a time when advisor demand for non-traded alternatives is rising alongside regulatory scrutiny.
