Global DMS, a provider of Web-based compliant valuation management software, on Oct. 14 announced the launch of Appraisal Tracking On Mobile (ATOM), an application that arms appraisers with robust functionality, instant access to information and communication capabilities that facilitates greater productivity in the field.
ATOM gives appraisers access to Global DMS’ eTrac valuation management platform, which lenders, AMCs and other real estate entities rely on to compliantly automate their entire appraisal process.
Using ATOM, appraisers can view their pipelines; accept and decline orders via their mobile device; see all open, closed and cancelled orders; update order status along with notations and conditions; contact borrowers to schedule inspection dates; and obtain directions to the property being appraised.
“We want to do everything we can to make our clients and their customers’ jobs as easy as possible,” Global DMS President and CEO Vladimir Bien-Aime said. “ATOM is a very effective communication, workflow and task management tool that helps users who are on the go quickly and efficiently complete appraisals in full compliance using comprehensive mobile technology automation.”
The design of ATOM also allows appraisers to drill down into the details of the orders in their pipelines, allowing them to easily access file numbers, borrower and lender information, property addresses, loan product, property type, client name and contact information, vendor fees, due dates and more.
In addition, ATOM integrates with appraisers’ mobile devices and GPS to automatically synchronize their calendars with property inspection dates and times as well as other tasks, making the management of calendar appointments easier. ATOM also has an integrated help system for when appraisers have on-the-fly questions.
ATOM taps eTrac’s client-specific appraisal process configurations and rules-based compliance repository to ensure that processes are followed and appraisals are completed in full compliance with the industry’s changing rules and regulations.
