PDA Named Finalist in Prestigious, North Texas Tech Titans Awards


Property Damage Appraisers (PDA) is a finalist in the technology adopter category of the 16th Annual Tech Titans Awards, which recognize outstanding companies and individuals in the North Texas area who have made significant contributions to their industries during the year through technology.

PDA is credited as a finalist specifically for its work with PDA Xpress. Overall, consumers and insurance companies alike have inconsistent standards when it comes to independent appraisers, especially when it comes to receiving estimates on damaged vehicles. Looking to change these viewpoints, PDA launched this super-fast and easy-to-use estimating tool that lightens insurance adjusters' workloads by managing appraisals.

"PDA's commitment to raising standards for independent appraisers is the real finalist for the Tech Titans Awards," said Tom Dolfay, CEO of PDA. "Adoption of PDA Xpress has proven that the property and casualty industry is looking to transform to better meet consumer demands. Our clients are beginning to expect the best, and that's exactly what we want to deliver each and every time."

One year after the launch of PDA Xpress, results reported that while PDA promised an estimate returned in three hours or less, 60 percent of estimates were being returned in 45 minuts or less exceeding the customer's expectations. Additionally, PDA Xpress' customers rated PDA with a 97 Net Promoter Score®, so not only are estimates being completed efficiently, customers would recommend PDA Xpress to peers as well.



"The Tech Titans Awards are the premier recognition of innovative technology companies and individuals who contribute to the vibrancy and success of North Texas," said Bill Sproull, president and CEO of Tech Titans. "These finalists are an elite group who make a difference building tomorrow's technology community with their innovation, leadership and advocacy. We look forward to highlighting the groundbreaking advancements that continue to impact North Texas and the world."

Previous winners in the technology adopter category include American Airlines, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Baylor Health Care System, North Texas Tollway Authority and Artizone.
