Industry leader drives claims consistency with interior measurements, photo documentation, and immersive 3D property walkthrough, all delivered from a single smartphone scan
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hover, a leader in property data technology trusted by over 300,000 insurance and construction professionals, today announced a significant expansion of its claims automation platform. Building on its exterior property capabilities, Hover now offers a comprehensive interior solution featuring accurate interior measurements, standardized photo documentation, and new Virtual Walkthrough technology.
With this launch, Hover is offering customers consistency across all projects, regardless of the user’s experience level. It’s all made possible through Hover’s easy-to-use app, seamless integration with existing estimation platforms, and photorealistic, immersive digital property model that becomes the central hub for all inspection documentation.
Carrier-Compliant, Standardized Inspections with a Simple Scan
The lack of reliable, easily accessible inspection information is one of the greatest challenges the insurance and construction industries face today. As experienced adjusters retire and carriers bring on new team members, accurate inspections are not guaranteed, and documentation can be difficult to interpret. A quality inspection with accurate measurements and proper documentation can mean the difference between swift claim resolution, and a tedious process that leads to wasted time and money – such as replacements when a repair would have sufficed, longer claims cycles, and supplements that are difficult to properly defend.
In collaboration with top carriers, adjusting firms, inspections companies, and contractors, Hover has reimagined this process to create a singular interior and exterior solution for consistent inspections every time, from anyone, on any device.
Here’s how it works:
- With Hover’s in-app guided experience, anyone can scan an entire property by simply walking through it with their phone. Hover provides prompts throughout to ensure consistent, thorough documentation.
- During the scan, Hover simultaneously captures accurate measurements and photos – consolidating what was previously a multi-step process into a single, intuitive workflow. Hover generates a complete floorplan, onto which users can tag damage photos to pinpoint exactly where repairs are needed.
- Within minutes, Hover delivers a photo-realistic, 3D model with all photos positioned in their exact locations. This allows anyone to virtually “walk through” the property, examining damage in context without returning to the site.
“After 30 years in claims, I know that inconsistent documentation is one of the biggest drains on efficiency and quality today,” said Eric Brandt, former EVP and Chief Claims Officer at Allstate. “Hover’s solution ensures every property is documented exactly the same way, every time, regardless of who’s capturing it. That’s the holy grail for carriers trying to improve quality and control costs while improving customer satisfaction. The industry has needed this for decades and Hover is delivering.”
Consistency Through Proven Technology and Seamless Integration
Built on a decade of expertise digitizing over 22 billion square feet of property, along with a backbone of exterior property excellence, Hover’s interior solution delivers:
- Professional-grade measurements of walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, and even cabinets – with speed and accuracy that matches or exceeds manual methods.
- Spatially-tagged photo documentation that positions all images in their exact location, providing complete context for damage assessment.
- Virtual Walkthrough technology that works on any smartphone (with or without LiDAR), allowing anyone to explore property details remotely as if they were actually there.
- Direct integration with leading platforms including Verisk and Cotality (formerly CoreLogic), automatically generating ready-to-use, fully editable sketches, eliminating redundant data entry and reducing room for error.
Hover’s interior measurement technology is already proving its value at scale, with thousands of properties scanned each week, and exponential growth across top US carriers and independent adjusting firms. A recent study with top carriers compared Hover’s interior measurements to those taken by experienced adjusters using traditional methods. The findings confirmed that Hover’s measurements are not only accurate – they are more detailed, consistent, and faster to gather, decreasing average full property inspection times from hours to just 15 minutes.
“We created Hover’s interior solution hand-in-hand with the nation’s top carriers, contractors, and ecosystem service providers to support the need for consistent inspections,” said Spencer Warden, Vice President of Business Development at Hover. “By investing in robust interior solutions, we’re creating a single source of truth for all property documentation. With Hover, everyone – from carrier to adjuster to contractor to inspector to policyholder – has access to the same accurate information. Together with our partners we’re creating a better future for property insurance.”
