OmniValVMS Documentation
Build and operate the full appraisal lifecycle — from order intake to delivery and payment — with the OmniValVMS platform and API.
OmniValVMS is a Vendor Management System (VMS) for Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs) and lenders. It runs the entire appraisal lifecycle between clients (lenders), vendors (appraisers), and operations teams — order intake, vendor assignment, inspection, quality control, regulatory submission, delivery, and payment — with a complete audit trail at every step.
These docs are organized as a journey. If you're new, follow them in order:
Set up your organization
Create your Client Admin account, invite your team, and assign roles.
Build your appraiser network
Recruit and onboard vendors (appraisers and AMCs), define panels and coverage, and configure fees.
Run an order end to end
Create an order, activate it, assign a vendor, manage inspection and QC, deliver the report, and collect payment.
Integrate
Use the API Reference, webhooks, and audit trail to connect OmniValVMS to your own systems.
Two ways to read these docs
OmniValVMS documentation has two complementary tracks, the same way Stripe's does:
| Track | Answers | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Guides (these pages) | "How do I accomplish a workflow?" | /docs |
| API Reference | "Exactly how does this endpoint work?" | /api |
Guides teach the workflow and link out to the exact endpoints. The API Reference defines the precise contract — parameters, schemas, responses — for every operation.
What you can do with the API
The OmniValVMS Client API exposes the operations behind the platform. A few you'll meet early in the journey:
If you're not sure which calls to make in what order, start with How the platform works for the end-to-end picture, then drop into the API Reference for the exact contract.
Authentication, in brief
Every API request is authenticated. OmniValVMS uses bearer-token authentication issued at sign-in — see Authentication & access for the real flow.
A self-service developer portal with API keys and a sandbox environment is on the roadmap. Until then, these docs describe the live platform and never ask you to use credentials that don't exist yet.
