Communication Breakdown​

As the cliche goes, communication is key. On your team, you may have several people working on a specific appraisal order. For example, maybe there's someone who schedules and manages the assignment, the licensed appraiser, a trainee or two, an inspector and perhaps even a reviewer. Conversations between these various assignees often take place across a number of places like email, phone calls, messaging apps - making it difficult to keep everyone on the same page.

Scattered Communications Hinder Appraisal Team Efficiency​

These communication issues can lead to decreased productivity, increased turn-times, and and other issues like:

  • Scattered conversations across multiple platforms (email, phone calls, messaging apps)
  • Difficulty in tracking and referencing previous discussions
  • Time wasted searching for information in different communication channels
  • Increased risk of miscommunication and errors
  • Lack of a centralized hub for order-specific discussions

How Does Appraisal Inbox's Team Messaging Help?​

Appraisal Inbox's Team Messaging feature addresses these communication challenges head-on by providing a centralized platform for all order-related discussions. Here's how it works:

  1. Order-Specific Conversations: Each appraisal order has its own dedicated messaging thread, ensuring all relevant communications are in one place.

  2. Real-Time Collaboration: Team members can collaborate in real-time, sharing updates, asking questions, and providing feedback without switching between different apps or platforms.

  3. Email Integration: Unread messages are sent via email to assigned team members, allowing them to stay informed without constantly checking the platform.

  4. Easy Reference: All conversations are stored within the context of the specific appraisal order, making it simple to review past discussions and decisions.

  5. Reduced Email Clutter: By centralizing communications, Team Messaging helps reduce the volume of emails in team members' inboxes.
