Salvage Value Calculation Software for Appraisers

Let your AI agent handle the entire salvage value process — from pulling auction data to generating audit-ready reports — so you can focus on complex claims.

You’re stuck in Excel, toggling between Copart, IAA, and NADA Guides, copying VINs and sale prices for every total-loss vehicle. As an auto appraiser, you lose hours each week to tedious data entry and double-checking calculations, all while trying to meet tight deadlines.

Calculates, documents, and audits salvage values for total-loss vehicles so auto appraisers can skip manual spreadsheets and research.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In the insurance and financial services industry, auto appraisers spend 1.8 hours a week manually calculating salvage values. This means pulling recent sales from Copart, referencing NADA Guides, and creating valuation reports in Excel. The process is slow, error-prone, and keeps you from handling more complex cases. Missed data or calculation errors can lead to disputes and audit headaches.
