Electronic Claims Information and Inventory
Perhaps one of the most time-consuming parts of your job is tracking down the pertinent information necessary to complete your claims. To help you with this part of your work, franchise professionals submit information electronically. This way you can quickly receive reports, documents, and even pictures, usually within hours. Some of the information provided through the claims inventory database includes:
- First Notice of Loss
- Thorough Estimates of Damage
- Digital Photos of Affected Areas

These files can be accessed online wherever you happen to be and can also be delivered as hard copies.
Immediate Emergency Response and Pretesting
It is well-known throughout the inspection, cleaning, and restoration industry that a rapid response limits damage, especially when it comes to secondary damage. Services such as tarping and boarding up to prevent exposure to rain and trespassers are a good way to minimize the need to replace property. Pretesting is another service that keeps replacement costs low.
