The early March outbreak of tornadoes that whizzed through the southern U.S.and Ohio Valley region left homeowners stranded without roofs andcontents that formerly helped fill happy homes.

In sifting through the rubble following such a disaster, claimsadjusters must painstakingly piece together the reality that oncewas in order to accurately process the resultant propertycontents claims and speed the policyholder's road to indemnity.This often involves relying on incomplete or non-existent homeinventories, which obviously complicates matters for insureds andthe claims professionals assisting them.

With this in mind, App-Order.com now offers “Save YourBooty,” an app for Android designed to facilitate the procurementof detailed home inventories. This means that insureds can logprecious items before disaster strikes so that claimsadjusters can later assess losses both accurately andquickly, the company says.

Contents losses can represent some of the most time-consumingand complex of all property claims, as they typically involve adizzying array of disparate objects. Various technology tools areavailable to ease the adjusting process but, as is the case withmany things, a little prevention goes a long way in driving optimaloutcomes.

Instead of relying on policyholder to relay value estimates foritems that have either been damaged or destroyed, adjusters canrefer to inventories generated previously. Using the mobile app,users can scan any item with a barcode and then store apicture, serial number, retail value, and current value.
