Appraisal Tracking Software

[Jeff Horton]

I am getting the point I need someway to track appraisal orders status. It's getting to the point I can not keep everything in my head anymore. Plus I just took on a partner so it's going to get worse! I searched but didn't find anything on this subject.

I would like something I can put on my palm and/or my web site. Since we will be working out of two different offices I would like something that could be easily updated over the web. Loading it onto my Palm (no wireless access in our area yet) would be a big plus. Then in the field I could check up on the status of an appraisal.

I have Excel on both my palm and computers. If there is a way to put it on the web site that might be a workable plan.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Jeff not sure what software you are using. But doesn't ACI have a tracking software allready installed. Does your software you use have a tracking software?

We are using DataBase Professional to create a database for all our files, who we've talked to, etc.

We use Excel for accounting, etc.

By putting the files on the server, we can access it from any machine on the network.

I think they sell one (DayOne) but my real question is not who sells tracking software but more about a way to put it to where I can access it on the web and/or my Palm since I will be between two offices.

Thanks Roger, will take a look at it.

I've never used anything other than WinTotal and Outlook. I'm a one man shop who was busier than a one armed paper hanger during the boom and a never lost track of anything.

Jeff,

I have developed an appraisal tracking software that is right now in beta testing. I would be happy to let you beta test and help me improve the software. Give me a call or e-mail me. www.weaverappraisals.com

Check out etrac at www.myetrac.com . I have reviewed other appraisal management programs and this seems the best, especially if you need remote access as it is on the Web. Your clients can check appraisal status also. There is a monthly fee.

I never recommend "doing it yourself" unless you have lots of appraisers, say over 20! Very expensive and a lot of hassle.

In the early 90s I had 2 appraisers plus myself and used a very simple DOS program which is no longer available. I used it every day. Now it's just me. My assistant and I keep track using our manual log...

Jeff,

We have a product called "Appraisal Tracker". It is a FileMaker database driven system that is very scalable. We have both database only systems as well as a web driven front end.

Filemaker sells a "Mobile" version that might work for you. It works with both PPC & Palm, and you can link your Appraisal Tracker database to your palm and take not only your appraisal order info, but your client database on the road with you.

Please feel free to contact us at www.tac-data.com or call 618-806-1915.
