You’ve probably been
hearing a lot about how electronic commerce has been made possible through EDI (electronic
data interchange). Today, EDI offers appraisers and their clients significant
opportunities for enhanced customer service. I hope this page and the links below will
help you understand some of the EDI options that are available today and in the upcoming
months. Our mission is to turn EDI
between the appraiser and our clients into a simple, efficient and cost-effective means of
delivering appraisals to your desktop. Our Internet-based systems are already in place. We
can deliver complete reports, with maps, photos, sketches, signatures, and addenda in
native software formats, WinTotal2000,
or Adobe Acrobat pdf in less
than three minutes to any standard Internet account. EDI has enabled us to deliver your
complete digital appraisal report right to your desktop, using your existing email
account, for an average of five cents for a full report. Overnight courier fees are
eliminated!
Adobe® Acrobat's PDF file format has emerged as the
dominant medium for delivering on-line appraisal reports. Why?...because it doesn't
require you to have anything but Adobe's freeware Acrobat reader to view and print the
entire appraisal file. The free Adobe® Acrobat® Reader allows
you to view, navigate, and print PDF files across all major computing platforms. If you
don't already have Acrobat Reader we've provided a convenient link to their site below.
Snyder Appraisal Services
is one of the first firms in North Carolina to employ
in-home electronic data collection using Pocket TOTAL 2000 and the
Phillips Velo hand-held PC (H/PC). After returning to the office, we simply plug the H/PC
into a cable connecting it to the desktop PC. Our software automatically detects the
connection, and the field data is placed into the corresponding desktop report. Pocket
TOTAL 2000 on a hand held PC saves data entry time, increases our accuracy, and reduces
report turnaround time.
