Frequently asked
Common questions about appraisal.
Frontera handles the document work on both sides of an appraisal. Compare the two estimates line by line and see every price and quantity difference, even when each side organizes scope differently. When one side sends only a PDF, turn it back into an ESX you can open and edit in Xactimate. Deciding the amount of the loss stays with you.
Yes. The two sides of an appraisal rarely organize scope the same way. Frontera matches the estimates line by line and lets you sort and group by trade and room, or a custom mapping that mirrors either side's structure — every matched line shows its delta, and unmatched lines are surfaced rather than dropped.
No. Frontera analyzes documents and surfaces differences between them. It does not advocate for either party, communicate with anyone on your behalf, or reach conclusions about the value of a loss. Those judgments remain yours.
Yes. PDF to ESX turns it back into an ESX you can open and edit in Xactimate.
Usually. Frontera carries the sketch through to the ESX file along with the line items. If the source PDF is low quality, such as a blurry scan, part or all of the sketch may not come through, and Frontera flags it so you can check it in Xactimate.
Every finding links back to its source: a page citation in the policy, or the matching lines in each estimate, so you can check it yourself. Frontera is built to be verified rather than trusted on faith.
All claims data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Frontera will never sell your data to external parties or share it with competitors — your documents and analyses are accessible only to you and your authorized team members.
