- We've changed our look
- Transfer Bonds - need to know
what state and counties we have producers?
- BB Tracer - a bond tracking program for BSS
producers
- Calendar feature has been added under Resources listing the upcoming events throughout the country along with Continuing Education classes
Updating the BSS web site to make it look more professional and adding additional information has been a priority for us. Adding the ability for the producers to sign in a secure site; extract reports and upload data to us (Execution Reports) was the major goal and undertaking. We believe that the producers will find this new site a welcome change.
Check out the listing on the Resource page under Courts or the Contact Us - Operations Division for a complete listing.
Bankers Surety Services has been thinking about their producers and wanted to make it easier and affordable for them to track their bond work.
We named it BB Tracer, and it has come a long way since the start of development in April, 2005. We have provided this FREE application to over 54 of our producers. We have received some very favorable feedback and suggestions to enhance the program even more.
In an effort to assist our producers to track and report the bonds that
they have issued we have developed a program which runs on Microsoft
Access version 2000 or 2003. We are working toward moving this program
to a VB.net version which can be housed on a secure server and can be
accessed by a producer from any computer. We hope to have this completed
by 3rd Quarter of 2007.
If you are you still tracking your bond work by paper;
tired of trying to find information that may have been misfiled; want a
better way to track the information without spending a lot of money;
then BB Tracer just might be what you need.
