Valufield and ValuePRO: how they work together
ValuePRO is built around the valuation report. Valufield runs the practice and now the job itself. How a firm can use both, where each one's job starts and stops, and what to expect today.

If you searched for a ValuePRO alternative, this is probably not the page you expected. Valufield is not a replacement for ValuePRO. It does a different job, and a firm that uses ValuePRO for its reports can use Valufield for everything around them. This post sets out what each product does, how the work moves between them, and where the joins are today.
Everything we say about ValuePRO comes from its own public pages and from public listings, linked where we use them. We have not seen inside the product, and we would rather under-describe it than guess.
What ValuePRO does
ValuePRO describes itself as a platform for valuation firms in Australia and New Zealand. Its website talks about report templates, reports in the PropertyPRO format, mobile inspections on iPhone and iPad, and Cotality data integrations, and it leads with shorter report turnaround and cleaner, branded reports. Its home page also names ISO 27001 security.
It has been part of Volaris Group, a Constellation Software company, since 2019. Its prices are not published on its own site; one software directory lists it from A$205 a month, usage based. New customers are invited to book a demonstration.
In short, ValuePRO is centred on the valuation itself: the inspection, the evidence and the report that leaves the firm.
What Valufield does
Valufield is practice software for Australian valuation firms, and it now runs the valuation job as well. It covers the work before the report starts, the report itself for the report types it supports, and the work after it is signed:
Winning the work. Website enquiry forms and landing pages that create the client record and note where the enquiry came from, and email campaigns to referrers with consent recorded.
Agreeing the job. Fee quotes from your own fee list with GST, your terms of engagement, and online signing by drawing or typing a name. The signed PDF carries an audit page with the signer, time, IP address and a document fingerprint.
Booking the inspection. Booking pages with your hours, buffers for travel, minimum notice and no double bookings, with questions for the property address, access and purpose.
Getting paid. GST tax invoices with your ABN once you add it, deposits from an accepted quote, card payments once you connect your firm's own Stripe account, and reminders that stop once the invoice is paid.
Writing and checking the report. Facts the valuer confirms, a draft editor that starts from the report type's template, AI suggestions for descriptive sections only, a 110-check report checker, peer review by a second valuer, and release with a public page that confirms a released report is genuine.
Keeping clients informed. A client portal in your logo and colours with quotes, invoices, inspection times and the files you share, such as the final report.
The short version: ValuePRO is built around the report and its data and mobile tools. Valufield is where the client, the fee, the job and its checks and review are managed, and where the report can now be written too.
How a job moves between the two
Take a typical private instruction: a family law solicitor needs a current market valuation of a house for a property settlement.
The enquiry arrives in Valufield. The solicitor fills in the form on your website, choosing family law as the purpose. Valufield creates records for the solicitor and the client, and notes the solicitor as the source.
You quote in Valufield. The quote comes from your fee list with GST, attaches your terms of engagement and goes to the instructing party to sign online. You can see when it has been opened.
The inspection is booked in Valufield. The client picks a time on your booking page, answers the access questions, and gets a confirmation email with a calendar file.
The valuation is done in ValuePRO, or in Valufield. If your report type is one Valufield covers, you can confirm the facts and write the report in its draft editor. If you prefer ValuePRO, or your report type is not covered yet, you create the job in ValuePRO as you do today, inspect with its mobile tools and write the report there.
The report goes back through Valufield. You upload the finished file, run the report checker, have a second valuer review it and release it, then share it in the portal and issue the balance invoice. Reminders run until it is paid, then stop.
Nothing in that flow asks you to change how you write reports. It replaces the email threads, the spreadsheet job register and the chasing.
Where the joins are today
We would rather you hear the limits from us than find them in week two.
There is no direct connection between Valufield and ValuePRO. When a job moves to step 4, the client and property details are entered in ValuePRO by hand, the same as they are today when an instruction arrives by email. Valufield has a REST API and webhooks on the plans that include them, so a firm with a developer can move data, but we do not offer a ValuePRO integration and we will not pretend otherwise.
Report types and tools are still growing. Comparable sales, calculators, phone inspection capture and more report types are coming soon. Valufield does not send a "report issued" notice by itself, because release and sending are separate steps you press.
Panel work stays where it is. Valufield has no ValEx or LIXI connection. Lender instructions keep arriving through your panel platforms exactly as they do now.
Why a firm would run both
The case for a second system has to be made honestly, because it is another subscription. It rests on private and legal work, where the firm deals with the client directly. Panel work pays about $200 to $400 for a residential job, against about $400 to $700 for a residential valuation the client commissions directly, and commercial work runs from about $900 to over $3,000 before GST.
Those jobs are won and lost on the practice side: how fast the quote goes out, whether the terms are signed before the inspection, whether the solicitor who referred the client hears back, and whether the invoice is paid without three follow-up calls. That is the part Valufield is built for. If your firm is mostly panel work, you may not need it yet, and that is a fair conclusion to reach. We cover the private work side in more depth in winning private and legal valuation work.
What comes next
Comparable sales, calculators, phone inspection capture and more report types are being built now and are coming soon. We will write about each one when it exists, not before. Firms can keep the report tool they trust in the meantime, starting with our REST API for moving data.
Trying it beside ValuePRO
The easiest test is one real private job. Put the enquiry, quote, booking and invoice through Valufield, write the report in ValuePRO as normal or in Valufield's draft editor, and share it back through the portal. You will know within a week whether the split suits your firm. The features page lists everything Valufield does today, and pricing is published in Australian dollars.
