Why claim-side jobs stall

Leads and jobs in different tools

Sales leads, referrals, and active claims live in separate apps, so jobs stall between sale and claim.

Photos aren't claim-ready

Field photos sit on a phone until somebody needs them for a supplement.

Follow-ups fall through

Without reminders and a pipeline, homeowner follow-ups and inspections get missed.

No sales-to-claim visibility

It's hard to see which leads converted to active insurance claims and which stalled.

The claim behind the job

The job is the easy part. The documentation is the claim.

Claim-side work is won and lost on what you can show. These five stages are what a carrier asks for, kept on the file from the first visit.

  1. 01

    Referral

    The opportunity opens a file with the property and the loss on it.

  2. 02

    Inspection

    The site visit is scheduled and photographed against the claim.

  3. 03

    Documentation

    Scope, photographs, and supporting documents organized per job.

  4. 04

    Project follow-up

    Tasks and status keep the job moving while the claim is open.

  5. 05

    Client communication

    Updates go out on a rule, and the thread stays on the file.
