Appraisal Logistics (ALS) said that it will license AIMPort, its proprietary technology platform, to lenders who want to manage some or all of their own appraisal process, as well as to other appraisal management companies.
The software can be used for residential or commercial valuations and BPO transactions. It already is integrated with many industry applications, ALS announced in a press release.
“Not every lender wants to outsource its appraisal management to an AMC,” Appraisal Logistics CEO Frank Danna said in the release. “If they manage it internally, they must have access to software powerful enough to manage that process in a compliant and efficient manner. If they do work with an AMC, they may still want to manage some appraisals or evaluations internally.
“Most lenders need some support when lending outside of their footprint, but the process has to be very efficient to keep costs low. Finding the right mix is the key to reducing the lender’s overall costs in the appraisal department. Our software makes that easy,” Danna added.
AIMPort improves workflow efficiency and accuracy in a cost-effective manner to support the lender’s own vendor process. The platform offers functionality for vendor management, order process, assignments, tracking, reviewing, delivery, reporting and accounting. ALS created AIMPort internally using its own in-house IT group. The company has been operating on the platform in all 50 states since 2011, the release said.
“The possibilities are virtually limitless,” ALS Sales Vice President Dennis Ashcroft said. “Whether your interest is to farm out the cost/risk to a third-party vender or manage the process internally through a state-of-the-art technology, we can analyze your existing process and provide a cost-effective solution that meets/exceeds all government and Interagency guidelines.”
