EagleView, Xactware Offer Solution to Adjusters

EagleView Technologies and Xactware Solutions, Inc., are teaming up to offer insurance adjusters a streamlined method to generate quickly sketched roofs. The two companies announced a new technology integration that will allow Xactware customers to access EagleView's breakthrough roof measurement capabilities via XactAnalysis, a network for sending and receiving structural and contents estimates. The agreement will enable insurance adjusters to create automatically detailed roofs in Xactimate as part of the everyday claims process.

"We're excited to have our detailed roof measurement reports embedded into Xactimate," says EagleView CEO Chris Barrow. "This will provide seamless access to our reports for insurance companies and adjusters who use the industry-leading Xactware product line."

Xactware users will be able to send measurement requests for a particular roof to EagleView from Xactimate. Using aerial photography and patent-pending software, EagleView calculates measurements for the roof's ridges, rafters, valleys, slopes, and more.

Xactware users then can take advantage of the new technology integration to import the roof measurements electronically into the Xactimate Sketch module and view the completed roof layout in both 2D and 3D. From there, users graphically can add shingles, ridge caps, and other roofing material to the sketch. They also can graphically estimate costs to repair damages to complex roof structures.

"This is the next logical step from Xactware as we continue to look for ways to service the needs of our customers," says Jim Loveland, CEO of Xactware. "EagleView provides key technology for insurance adjusters and service providers using our products within the reconstruction and remodeling industries."
