Cloud workflow automation for professional M&E appraisers

Fixed assets valuation workflows — faster, clearer, auditable.

apprais.ease moves a messy Fixed Asset Register to transparent, cost-approach indicative outputs. AssetScout pulls a current public mark, the news around it, and the comps beside one subject asset.

The Problem

Too much of M&E work is still
manual process, not professional judgment.

FAR cleanup, PPI lookup, FX conversion, and first-pass cost-approach maths still consume hours or days — before the real appraisal thinking begins.

01
Messy FARs

Inconsistent descriptions, missing fields, and non-standard classification slow every engagement before indexation even starts.

02
Manual indexation

Sourcing official PPI series, applying factors, and handling multi-currency portfolios in spreadsheets is slow and easy to get wrong.

03
Weak audit trails

Versioned Excel models make it hard to reconstruct why a factor, index, or life was used — especially under review pressure.

The Platform

From FAR upload to
indicative outputs — in one workflow.

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.

AssetScout

A research brief for
one subject asset.

Aircraft, boats and vessels, locomotives, mining and other machinery, motor vehicles, farm equipment, IT and communication equipment, and greenfield plants. AssetScout reads public listings and trade press, then writes an indicative mark or capex range, the news, and the comps. It is a research aid, not a certified appraisal.

Three free searches a day

Each signed-in account gets three AssetScout searches a day. The allowance resets at midnight UTC. A failed search is not counted.

$150 a month, or $1,500 a year

Unlimited AssetScout use. Save $300 on the annual plan. Billed in US dollars on the apprais.ease Stripe account. Cancel in the billing portal.
