Over the past year, Class Valuation accelerated innovation across its cloud-based appraisal platform, which unifies order management, quality control and analytics into a single workflow. Its SMART Assign technology uses AI-driven logic to match the most qualified appraiser to each assignment, while the Class INtelligence Suite applies automated quality checks and escalation rules to identify issues before delivery. Open API integrations enable seamless connectivity with loan origination systems, supporting a more efficient, data-driven appraisal lifecycle.
