For IA firmsSoftware for appraisal teams

One desk for every portal your IA firm works.

blnd gives the firm one workspace. Assignments from every carrier and IA portal arrive in a shared inbox, the desk assigns them across your appraisers, and each case gets a drafted estimate file you can import into CCC ONE. Your appraiser reviews it, approves it, and it goes back to the claim.

No card for the trial. Invite your team when you are ready.

How an IA firm runs on blnd

Your firm already juggles several carriers, several portals and a team in the field. blnd puts all of it behind one login per person, and leaves every decision with your appraisers.

  1. 1

    One workspace for the firm

    The owner sets up the firm's workspace and invites the desk and the appraisers. Everyone signs in as themselves, with a role: owner, admin or member.

  2. 2

    Every portal, connected once

    Connect each portal account the firm takes work from. New assignments are pulled in with the assignment sheet, notes and photos, each labelled with the portal it came from.

  3. 3

    The desk assigns, appraisers pick up

    Admins assign or reassign any case to an appraiser. Appraisers can take an unassigned case themselves and filter the inbox down to their own.

  4. 4

    A draft estimate, written your firm's way

    blnd drafts the estimate from the photos and notes. You get a file you can import into CCC ONE, plus a PDF on your letterhead.

  5. 5

    The appraiser reviews, approves, and it goes back

    The appraiser checks the draft and finishes it in the estimating system as usual. On approval, blnd uploads the estimate to the claim it came from, and records who approved it and when.

Roles that match how a firm is run

Three roles, so the desk can run the queue without handing every appraiser the keys to the workspace.

Invitations, role changes and case assignments are each written to the workspace audit log with who made them.

  • Owner

    The firm principal

    • Everything an admin can do
    • Transfer ownership of the workspace
    • Remove admins
  • Admin

    The desk, the office manager

    • Invite people and change their roles
    • Assign and reassign any case
    • Set the firm's letterhead
  • Member

    Staff and field appraisers

    • Work the firm's shared inbox
    • Take an unassigned case with one click
    • Filter the inbox to their own cases
    • Review drafts and approve uploads

Your firm's portal accounts, under your control

Portal accounts carry your firm's client relationships and your insureds' data. blnd is built so the worst it can do on its own is read, and nothing reaches a claim without a person on your team.

  • Portal logins encrypted

    Each portal password is sealed with AES-256-GCM before it is stored, and only decrypted inside the job that signs in.

  • Read-only by default

    blnd reads assignments, notes and photos. It does not accept or decline work, change a status, or message carriers, shops or insureds.

  • A person approves every upload

    The estimate reaches the claim only after someone on your team approves it, case by case. Each approval is logged with who and when.

  • Assignments on the record

    Every assign and reassign is written to the case's history, so the desk can see who has which file and how it got there.

  • Your firm's own workspace

    Cases, files and connections belong to your workspace, and every query is scoped to it.

  • A spend cap you set

    Files above your plan bill automatically, never past the monthly cap an admin sets in billing.

  • Disconnect any time

    Disconnecting a portal deletes its stored credentials immediately. Estimate files stay yours to download.

It sits alongside the systems you already run

blnd is not another management system to migrate to, and it does not replace your estimating platform. It takes the portal busywork and the first draft off your team's plate, and hands the file to the tools you already trust.

Where the work comes from

Carrier and IA portals

The portals your clients dispatch through.

VistaClaim, ACD Clarity, IAnet, Doan, HEA Appraisal, Legacy Claims Services, SCA Appraisal, ClaimLeader, ClaimSolution.

blndThe middle step
  • Signs in to each portal and pulls new assignments
  • Answers emailed sign-in codes from a connected Gmail
  • One inbox, assigned across the team
  • Drafts the estimate file and the PDF
  • Uploads to the claim once an appraiser approves

Where it stays as it is

Your estimating platform

The appraiser imports the file into CCC ONE, checks every line, adjusts what they see differently, and locks it there.

Your management system

Dispatch, scheduling, client billing and reporting stay in the system your firm already runs on.

Priced by estimate file, not by appraiser

Add every desk reviewer and field appraiser you have. The bill follows the files your firm writes, not the size of the team.

Questions IA firms ask us

Something else? Write to hello@blnd.one.

Can several appraisers work in one blnd account?
Yes. The firm gets one workspace and each person signs in with their own login, as an owner, admin or member. The Firm plan has no limit on users, and Pro covers up to three.
How do cases get to the right appraiser?
Every assignment from every connected portal lands in the firm's shared inbox. An admin assigns or reassigns each case to an appraiser, appraisers can take an unassigned case themselves, and each person can filter the inbox to their own cases. Every assignment change is recorded on the case.
Do our appraisers still finish estimates in CCC ONE?
Yes. blnd writes a file you can import into CCC ONE (.xme and .AWF), plus a PDF. The appraiser opens it in the estimating system, checks every line, adjusts anything they see differently, and locks it as they normally would.
Does blnd replace our dispatch or appraisal management system?
No. blnd handles the portal side and the estimate draft: pulling assignments in, signing in to each portal, drafting the file and uploading it once approved. Dispatch, scheduling, client billing and reporting stay in the system you already use.
Which portals does blnd work with?
VistaClaim, ACD Clarity, IAnet, Doan, HEA Appraisal, Legacy Claims Services, SCA Appraisal, ClaimLeader and ClaimSolution today. If your firm takes work through another portal, tell us which; we add them in the order firms and appraisers ask.
Can blnd accept assignments or upload estimates without us?
No. blnd is read-only by default. It never accepts or declines assignments or messages anyone, and an estimate is uploaded only after someone on your team approves it, from the web app or the blnd button inside the portal.
How is a firm billed?
Per estimate file, not per seat. Firm is $1,190 a month with 400 files included and $2.75 per extra file, up to a spend cap you set. Annual billing gets 2 months free. If your firm writes well past 400 files a month, talk to us.
