Atlas VMS integrating AI review tool into AIM-Port platform

Atlas VMS is integrating HomeVision’s artificial intelligence (AI)-driven collateral underwriting and appraisal review technology into AIM-Port, the company’s appraisal order management system.

The company says the move is intended to reduce manual review work for lenders and appraisal management companies while improving consistency and overall appraisal quality.

HomeVision’s system uses rules, workflow automation and analytics to turn appraisal data into underwriting insights — automating most policy and eligibility checks.

The company says the technology has processed more than 2 million appraisal reports and helps cut review times and reduce revision rates.

AIM-Port, acquired by Atlas in July, was originally developed by an appraisal management company to support high-volume national operations.

“AIM-Port was built to reflect the day-to-day realities of appraisal operations, and HomeVision brings that same operational mindset to collateral underwriting,” said Erik Morin, CEO of Atlas VMS. “By integrating the two, lenders and AMCs will have a seamless way to order, manage, and review appraisals with significantly less friction.”

After the integration, AIM-Port users can send appraisal reports and supporting documents into HomeVision directly from their order-management workflow.

According to leaders, the combined platform will allow lenders and AMCs to automate guideline checks, rely on exception-based reviews, streamline operational steps and gain real-time insight into collateral risk and performance.

Atlas VMS says it also plans to use the integrated tools within its own in-house AMC for quality-control reviews.

“HomeVision is already trusted by many of the industry’s top lenders and AMCs, and AIM-Port has long been a reliable order-management platform for that same audience,” said Mick Tindall, president of platform solutions at AIM-Port. “Bringing them together provides customers with a streamlined, end-to-end path from order to collateral decision, while enabling us to leverage the same technology internally to enhance our own AMC performance.”
