Specially for banks and financiers

Why a standardized valuation process is essential

In the world of real estate financing, reliable and well-structured data is essential. Banks and financiers receive dozens to hundreds of real estate appraisals every day. These are prepared by various appraisers, in different formats and with varying levels of detail. The result? A time-consuming and error-prone process in which data must be processed manually in order to be usable.

KATE Innovations’ Assessment Portal fundamentally changes this. As part of our innovative real estate software, the platform offers a smart solution for receiving valuation data digitally and structuring it automatically. And all this in accordance with national and international standards. This is the first step in a three-part approach that leads to more efficient decision-making and better risk management.

Uniform receipt of internal and external valuations

The Assessment Portal is designed for both internal and external valuations, and is fully compliant with the Dutch Real Estate Taxonomy.. Thanks to standardization and smart integrations, banks receive all appraisals in one central location, regardless of the source file or the software used by the appraiser. Users can choose to receive data via SBR Nexus or directly on the portal. This valuation software not only saves users valuable time, but also prevents errors and inconsistencies in the delivery.

Automatic structuring of appraisal data

Upon receipt, the information is automatically structured. Values, attachments, risk profiles, and comparable properties are clearly organized. The software recognizes the essential elements of each appraisal report and organizes them into a uniform data structure. This is essential for applying business rules (step 2) and real-time monitoring (step 3).

Everything digital, structured, and customized

With the Assessment Portal, banks and financiers receive real estate data, appraisal data, and complete appraisal reports from both internal and external appraisers—all in one central and clear environment. No more separate PDFs or manual retyping: all data arrives digitally, ready for analysis.

The structure of the portal is flexible and can be customized according to the customer’s wishes. Whether it concerns a specific taxonomy, a unique assessment workflow, or reports to regulators, the Assessment Portal adapts. It is also possible to add additional data points, for example, country- or customer-specific.

The result? Less manual work, lower costs, and better insights—all based on consistent, reusable, and immediately usable data.

Why this step is essential

A good analysis starts with good data. By receiving and structuring appraisal data digitally, you lay the foundation for an efficient and reliable appraisal process. This step enables banks to bring consistency, speed, and transparency to their real estate process—and that is exactly what our software supports appraisers and financiers in doing.
