FMG Suite Introduces FMG Connect to Unify Advisor Tools, Data, and Workflows

Published

on

New integration layer lets partners plug into FMG so advisor systems work together, triggering faster follow-up, connected workflows, and measurable, compliant growth

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FMG Suite, the leading marketing and growth platform for financial advisors, insurance professionals, and enterprises, today introduced FMG Connect, an integration and orchestration layer that brings advisor tools, data, and workflows together in one connected system. Work that once required the advisor to act as the middleman can now happen automatically, compliantly, and at scale.

Most advisors already use strong tools. A notetaker captures the meeting. A lead platform scores the prospect. A planning tool holds the client’s financial picture. The problem is that these systems rarely talk to each other, leaving the advisor in the middle, moving information from one place to the next by hand. Tools meant to reduce workload instead create friction, slow follow-up, and cap growth.

FMG Connect closes those gaps. A meeting ends and the follow-up is already in motion. A new prospect enters the system and personalized outreach begins automatically. Client context stays current across planning tools, contact records, and communication workflows without anyone copying it over. The next best action surfaces inside the work advisors are already doing. FMG maintains the integration layer so advisors don’t have to.

What FMG Connect Does

FMG Connect brings automated, connected intelligence to four parts of an advisor’s business:

Advisor productivity — integration with AI meeting tools and notetakers  triggers follow-up before the client leaves the roomProspecting — integration with lead enrichment providers flows data directly into personalized outreach campaigns, so advisors engage faster and convert more efficientlyRelationship intelligence — integration with financial planning and client data ensures contact records, content, and context sync automaticallyCommunication and engagement — outreach that responds to what is actually happening with a client or prospect, at scale, across compliant channels

Built for an Open Ecosystem

FMG Connect brings the FMG platform to third-party tools and data sources through FMG’s API library. Support for additional standards like Model Context Protocol (MCP) are slated for a future release as FMG expands how AI-driven systems connect across the advisor ecosystem.

The result is that work, context, and intelligence move between products without custom integration, heavy IT lift, or an advisor serving as the bridge. FMG’s intelligence no longer stays locked inside a single tool.

“Advisor technology has been fragmented for too long, and firms need more than point integrations. They need an AI-driven platform that brings tools, workflows, and data together in a way that actually drives growth,” said Michelle Feinstein, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at FMG. “FMG Connect creates a stronger foundation for advisor growth, partner innovation, and measurable outcomes by bringing systems and data into the same operating environment.”

Launch Partners

FMG Connect launches with an initial group of integration partners: Zocks, Jump, Aidentified, Wealthfeed, Tax Status, Asset-Map, and GReminders. Each has early access and is actively building toward live connections in the platform. FMG plans to expand the partner ecosystem across every product over time through integrations that deliver measurable value to advisors.

FMG Connect also extends work the company has done for years — helping advisors build stronger digital presences, communicate consistently, and grow through compliant marketing. It connects the systems and data behind those workflows so opportunities can be activated, measured, and scaled across channels. AI widens what is possible; FMG Connect makes it operational.

“Advisors don’t want more disconnected tools. They want the tools they already use to work together,” said Dave Christensen, Chief Executive Officer of FMG. “FMG Connect is how we make that happen. It gives advisors a more connected operating environment, and it gives partners a more effective way to plug into the workflows where advisor growth actually happens.”

Availability

FMG Connect is now live, giving partners the ability to build integrated features and experiences across FMG platforms. APIs are available today, with additional capabilities rolling out through the rest of the year.

FMG’s launch partners received early access last month and are currently developing their integrations. The first partner-powered features are expected to roll out to shared customers over the coming months.

As new integrations launch, FMG and its partners will share details on available features, how to enable them and the value they provide.

Modular Buildings Draw International Buyer Interest at Linyi Sourcing Fair

Published

ChinaMarket connects global buyers with Chinese manufacturers and integrated sourcing solutions as demand for modular construction grows in Southeast Asia.

LINYI, China, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Modular buildings, prefabricated houses and futuristic capsule-style cabins have emerged as eye-catching products at the Fourth Linyi Mall International Buyers Conference, held from October 28 to 30 in Linyi, Shandong Province.

Among the products attracting attention are space capsule cabins, modular accommodation units and prefabricated building solutions designed for hospitality, tourism, residential and commercial applications.

The growing interest reflects new business opportunities for Chinese modular construction manufacturers, particularly in Southeast Asian markets where tourism development, hospitality investment and demand for flexible accommodation are creating opportunities for prefabricated building solutions.

From Space Capsules to Complete Building Solutions

A space capsule cabin may appear to be a single product, but international procurement often involves much more than selecting a manufacturer.

Buyers need to consider structural specifications, local climate conditions, electrical systems, transportation, installation, regulatory compliance and after-sales support.

For overseas buyers, especially those entering the Chinese supply chain for the first time, coordinating these requirements across multiple suppliers can be challenging.

This is where ChinaMarket aims to create additional value.

As the official digital platform of Linyi Wholesale Market, ChinaMarket connects international buyers with Chinese manufacturers and integrates sourcing, supplier coordination, logistics and trade services.

For modular construction projects, the platform can help buyers identify suitable suppliers, coordinate product requirements and explore integrated procurement and delivery solutions.

New Opportunities for Southeast Asian Buyers

Southeast Asia represents a promising market for modular construction products.

From tourism resorts and beachfront accommodation to temporary offices, commercial facilities and residential projects, modular buildings offer flexibility, faster installation and opportunities for customized design.

However, different markets have different requirements.

A modular cabin designed for a tropical resort in Thailand or Malaysia may require different ventilation, insulation and corrosion-resistance specifications from a prefabricated building intended for another climate.

Successful international procurement therefore depends on understanding both the manufacturing capabilities available in China and the practical requirements of the destination market.

ChinaMarket seeks to bridge this gap by bringing together manufacturers, international buyers and professional trade service providers.

Connecting Chinese Manufacturing with Global Demand

Linyi is one of China’s major wholesale trading centers, with 136 specialized wholesale markets and approximately 44,000 shops.

Building on this extensive commercial ecosystem, ChinaMarket is expanding its international buyer network while connecting China’s manufacturing and industrial supply chains with overseas markets.

During the Fourth Linyi Mall International Buyers Conference, international buyers from countries including Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and other markets have opportunities to explore Chinese products, connect with suppliers and discuss potential cooperation.

The interest in modular buildings highlights a broader opportunity: overseas buyers increasingly need coordinated sourcing solutions that cover multiple stages of international procurement.

ChinaMarket is developing its capabilities to support this demand, helping international buyers access Chinese suppliers while providing trade services throughout the procurement process.

Source Modular Buildings from China with ChinaMarket

As international demand for modular construction continues to evolve, ChinaMarket welcomes overseas distributors, project developers, resort operators, construction companies and procurement organizations to explore sourcing opportunities in China.

From space capsule cabins and prefabricated houses to customized modular building projects, the platform aims to make international sourcing more accessible, efficient and reliable.

Looking for modular building suppliers in China? Connect with ChinaMarket and explore new sourcing opportunities.

ZKONG and Leading German Home Improvement Retailer hagebau Advance Store Digitalisation Across 50,000+ SKUs

Published

on

By

SELB, Germany, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As digital transformation accelerates across European retail, Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) are becoming an increasingly important part of retailers’ digitalisation strategies, helping improve store operational efficiency.

Following approximately four months of refurbishment, the new hagebaumarkt store in Selb, Germany, officially opened.

Founded in 1964, hagebau is one of Germany’s leading home improvement and building materials retail groups, with an established presence across Europe. Its hagebaumarkt network covers key retail segments including DIY, home improvement, building materials and gardening.

Enhancing Staff Efficiency and Store Operations

Spanning around 7,000 m², the Selb store carries an extensive range of products across multiple categories. The complexity of operating the store stems not only from its size, but also from the breadth and diversity of its product range, making manual price verification and label maintenance particularly demanding.

ESL technology was therefore incorporated into the refurbishment plan from the outset, enabling faster price updates and more accurate information across the store.

Built for the Complexity of Home Improvement Retail

Unlike conventional supermarkets, home improvement stores present greater merchandising complexity:

Complex product information: Building materials, hardware and tools often involve multiple product attributes, including model, size, material, colour, compatibility and application. These details are critical to purchasing decisions.

Diverse merchandising environments: Products may be displayed on shelves, hooks, freestanding fixtures, outdoor areas or warehouse-style display zones, requiring ESLs in a range of sizes and with different mounting options.

More demanding manual management: Although price changes may be less frequent than in grocery retail, locating products and replacing the correct labels across a varied assortment remains time-consuming.

To accommodate the store’s wide range of products and display formats, ZKONG deployed a mix of ESLs ranging from 1.3 to 4.2 inches. Through the flexible combination of different sizes, the ESLs adapt seamlessly to the store’s varied displays, helping maintain the clean, orderly presentation associated with modern German retail environments.

Beyond the labels themselves, the deployment is supported by ZKONG’s base stations, which provide stable wireless transmission and allow product, pricing and promotional information to be updated on shelf-edge displays in real time. This helps keep in-store information aligned with backend data.

Driving Smarter Retail Operations

ESLs are redefining the way retail stores operate. By deploying these digital shelf-edge devices, retailers can improve store operational efficiency while freeing staff from time-consuming shelf checks and label changes, allowing them to devote more time and energy to serving customers.

Building on its strong presence across Europe, ZKONG continues to strengthen its capabilities across ESL hardware, wireless infrastructure and centralised management systems, enabling tailored solutions for complex retail environments. The hagebaumarkt Selb project marks another step in ZKONG’s expansion into the European home improvement retail sector. Through projects like this, ZKONG continues to explore new opportunities to address the evolving digital needs of European retail.
