a la mode launches exclusive new integration with National Data Collective

For Immediate Release

February 2, 2015 – Naples, FL – a la mode announced today that NDC (National Data Collective), a leading national provider of property data for real estate professionals, has released a new and improved integration, called SHIFT, that works exclusively with a la mode's full range of appraisal formfilling systems.

SHIFT allows NDC users to export NDC's highly-rated collective property data directly into a la mode's industry-leading formfilling software with just a push of a button. The tool is compatible with the legacy WinTOTAL system, as well as with TOTAL 2013, and the upcoming release of the next-generation TOTAL Titan.

"We're excited to give our customers access to NDC's national data," said Sean Shiplet, Chief Operating Officer at a la mode. "Through our API integration, customers will have the critical information they need, from plat maps to property characteristics, to property-specific notes that other appraisers have opted to share. Accurate and timely data is more critical than ever and NDC delivers that with flying colors."

The new NDC SHIFT will help appraisers save time, avoid having to pay to have reports typed, reduce potential errors from copying and pasting, and save money with NDC's affordable pricing and subscription options.

"By integrating NDC Data's proprietary subject and comp search features with a la mode's industry-leading formfilling software, we are jointly arming the appraisal community with the very best tools available to reduce risk and increase productivity," said Brian Trotier, NDC's Chief Operating Officer. "The Comps Dashboard, developed by a la mode, provides an excellent platform for appraisers to access and integrate quality property data from NDC into a la mode's cutting-edge appraisal software at a very reasonable cost. We deliver that data and a la mode delivers the proper context for it. It's a superb combination for any appraiser."

a la mode is the nation's dominant appraisal technology provider, with its TOTAL family of formfilling products used by more appraisers in the United States than all other competing systems combined.

NDC offers a subscription-based data service to appraisers using data from over 130 million properties in all 50 states, with full property profiles, assessor records, deed history, and comparables data. Its products are available on desktop and mobile platforms, with an advanced user interface designed around appraiser efficiency. Foreclosure activity is also available, along with flood information, linked deed histories, and more. Customizable packages are available in monthly or annual subscriptions.

NDC will be offering low unpublished introductory pricing to any current a la mode TOTAL user who has not used NDC before. Appraisers should call NDC at 1-800-964-2374 for more information.
