# Rivia — Appraisal Management Platform (TMS)
> Rivia , by Upgrade · Developers Group, is a management platform for real-estate appraisals and valuations. It automates data collection for the appraisal, turns a portal link into a homologated comparable with photos, prints the report in each bank's own format (or the firm's own custom format), and keeps a signed trail of every stage. Every appraisal is also checked against 41 criteria drawn from IVS 2025 and the RICS Red Book.

Built for appraisal firms (sociedades de tasación), certified appraisers (peritos valuadores), and banks in the Dominican Republic.

## Core capabilities

### Report compliance (the differentiator)
- 41 criteria per appraisal, scoped to the property type, from **IVS 2025** and the **RICS Red Book**.
- Each finding cites the paragraph (e.g. IVS 106 §30.6(l)(p), IVS 101 §20.1(g), IVS 400 §70.4(b), IVS 103 Appendix A10.8(a), RICS DBPV 6 §2.2(f)(g)(l)), names the missing field and deep-links to the step that fixes it.
- Reconciliation checks, not box-ticking: it flags a printed value per m² that does not derive from the adopted index plus the negotiation factor, and comparables rated "SIMILAR in size" whose areas contradict the subject.
- Non-blocking by design — warnings never prevent issuing the PDF or sending to review.

### Cadastre and land registry (Registro Inmobiliario)
- Parcel lookup from the property location, cross-checked against the title deed: point-in-parcel distance to boundary, declared area vs. registry drawing, province/municipality match.
- Automatically files the survey sketch (croquis), parcel map, satellite parcel map and a KML into the record.
- Coordinate conversion between cadastral designation, decimal degrees, DMS and UTM WGS-84 / 19N.
- Land-registry file (expediente) tracking with status history.

### Market study and comparables
- One-link import from listing portals: SuperCasas, Plusval, ApartamentosRD, Tu Casa RD, Elite Brokers, RE/MAX and others — pre-fills data and images.
- 12 weighted homologation factors per comparable, with a running homogenized total.
- Statistics computed over the sample set: central-tendency indices, coefficient of variation with quality bands, standard deviation, kurtosis, skewness, curve classification, and 90% / 95% confidence intervals.
- Daily DOP/USD rate from the Banco Central, synchronized across in-flight appraisals.

### Location intelligence
- Paste a WhatsApp location, Google Maps link or raw coordinates: resolves province, municipality, sector and postal code using official ONE names.
- Measures distances to schools, banks, hospitals, shops, malls and main avenues within a 5 km radius, naming each place.

### Field work
- The same 12-step file on mobile: technical sheet, boundaries, layout, comparables and homologation.
- Photo capture and tagging for the property and its surroundings; selected photos print in the report with the firm's watermark.
- Approved appraisals are locked against edits.

### Report and delivery
- Regulatory report assembled server-side, including georeferencing, block boundaries, homogenization tables, statistics, the scanned title and property photos.
- A separate PDF per bank entity, with per-entity options; a validity QR in every page footer.
- Client portal with a personal link and a four-digit access code, unlimited re-downloads.
- WhatsApp delivery with a pre-written message; every send logged and reversible.

### Communication module (WhatsApp CRM, add-on priced separately)
- One inbox for every WhatsApp conversation of the office; each chat links to a client record and to its appraisal files, or creates the client and the request from the chat.
- Approved message templates for re-engaging after the 24-hour window, internal notes invisible to the client, tags and per-conversation status.
- Not included in the base plans; quoted separately.

### Back office
- Seven-stage request lifecycle: Solicitud → Pago del cliente → Asignación → Visita → Reporte → Revisión → Entrega, with a signed audit trail.
- Stage board with per-card aging, workload per appraiser, billing, and appraiser payouts with a four-step approval: coordination prepares the payout and picks the appraisals, management approves or returns it, coordination transfers with a receipt, and the payout closes as paid. Client collections are recorded separately with their receipt.
- Surveying (Agrimensura) as a separate module sharing files and registry tracking.

## Who it is for
- Appraisal firms (sociedades de tasación / empresas de avalúos) that manage several appraisers, bank clients and payouts.
- Independent certified appraisers (peritos valuadores) who need a compliant report in the format each bank requires.
- Banks and lenders that receive appraisal reports and want them in their own annex format with a validity QR.

## Questions people ask (short answers)
- What is Rivia Tasaciones? Web software for real-estate appraisals in the Dominican Republic: it collects the property data, imports comparables from a listing link, guides the appraiser through homologation, checks the report against IVS 2025 / RICS and delivers it in each bank's format.
- Does Rivia homologate comparables automatically? No. The appraiser marks each of the 12 factors; Rivia computes the adjustment percentage, the corrected value per m² and the sample statistics.
- Can a firm keep its own report format or intake form? Yes. Rivia is configured with the firm's template and the intake form is adapted to the one the firm already uses. Bank formats are included on top.
- Is it for solo appraisers? Yes, same workflow without assignment and peer review; firms add tracking, workload and payouts.
- How is it priced? Custom proposal by monthly appraisal volume; request it on WhatsApp.
