With a mobile app that provides measurements, plans, 3D models and damage photos all in one place, HOVER unlocks the power of property data to drive workflow efficiencies for insurance professionals and create a faster claims process for policyholders — from underwriting through claims resolution. HOVER states it helps reduce manual data entry and processes, resulting in "improved estimating accuracy and reduced cycle times from the First Notice Of Loss."

In a news release, HOVER notes that even skilled adjusters can take hours to manually inspect, measure, sketch and document property damages to create a repair estimate. HOVER's data-centric approach streamlines this process from a few smartphone photos, significantly reducing the time it takes to create an estimate.
