Cloud workflow automation for professional M&E appraisers
apprais.ease helps professional machinery & equipment appraisers move from a messy Fixed Asset Register to transparent, cost-approach indicative outputs — with global PPI indexation, structured calculations, and downloadable working papers.
The Problem
FAR cleanup, PPI lookup, FX conversion, and first-pass cost-approach maths still consume hours or days — before the real appraisal thinking begins.
Inconsistent descriptions, missing fields, and non-standard classification slow every engagement before indexation even starts.
Sourcing official PPI series, applying factors, and handling multi-currency portfolios in spreadsheets is slow and easy to get wrong.
Versioned Excel models make it hard to reconstruct why a factor, index, or life was used — especially under review pressure.
The Platform
apprais.ease automates the high-friction middle of the job: cleaning, indexation, cost-approach calculations, and first-pass reporting. Final judgment and sign-off stay with the licensed professional.
Before vs After
Illustrative mid-size desktop M&E job (about 500–2,000 assets). Review and sign-off remain with the appraiser.
| Stage | Without apprais.ease | With apprais.ease |
|---|---|---|
| FAR cleanup & classification | 0.5–2 days | Minutes–~1 hour (with review) |
| PPI mapping & FX | 0.5–2 days | In-run automation |
| Depreciation / first-pass calc | 0.5–1.5 days | In-run automation |
| Draft summaries & outputs | 0.5–1 day | Minutes |
| Mechanical total | ~2–6+ days | Same-day first pass |
| Professional review & sign-off | Required | Still required |
Figures are illustrative. Actual time depends on FAR quality, country mix, and product tier.
