360-Degree Video Reporting -
Select 1080p HD for best viewing
In loss adjusting, capturing every angle of a property is essential for accurate assessments and claims processing. 360-degree video provides a complete panoramic view, ensuring no detail is missed and allowing adjusters to document all aspects of the damage.
This immersive technology enhances clarity, enabling insurers, clients, and adjusters to virtually experience the property, even hard-to-reach areas. It offers transparent, verifiable documentation that can be reviewed from any angle, reducing disputes and ensuring consistency.
By enabling real-time collaboration and virtual walkthroughs, 360-degree video speeds up the claims process and improves communication, making loss adjustments more accurate and efficient.
