Easy and Reliable On-Site Loss Estimating Anytime and Anywhere
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (October 11th, 2011) Symbility Solutions Inc.®, a wholly owned subsidiary of Automated Benefits Corp.® (TSX:V – AUT), a leader in property insurance claims settlement solutions, announced today that their Symbility Mobile Claims award winning web-based solution, will be available on a variety of different smartphones and tablets, such as iPhone, iPod, iPad, Playbook, Android and Windows Mobile, in 2012. Symbility Mobile Claims is an estimating tool designed to improve efficiency, customer service and speed during the estimation process. Accessible from any personal computer, and soon popular handheld smart-devices and tablets, the application incorporates measurements, diagrams and pricing databases to create property and casualty claim estimates quickly, easily and in many cases, just one site visit.
In the October 2011 Insurance & Technology article 13 Keys to Mobile Claims Success, Senior Forrester Research, Inc. Analyst, Ellen Carney, predicted “there are many interesting applications that look at the way adjusters do their jobs. In 10 years, the tablet is going to be something you can crinkle up like a piece of paper and shove in your pocket. I truly believe the tablet will become the next clipboard.”
According to Marc-Olivier Huynh, Chief Technology Officer, Symbility Solutions, "adding our solution to smartphones and tablets is a natural evolution of our product. Since our inception we have always provided robust and complex estimating solutions to the property and casualty market, starting with the pen-based handheld platforms back in the early 2000s. With more and more insurers arming their field staff with smart-devices, they are looking to vendors like us to provide applications that enable their employees to do their job quickly and efficiently, anywhere at any time. With our current application installed on these dynamic devices, field adjusters and building contractors will have the ability to draw any type of diagram, build estimates and add items, photos, journal entries and support forms directly from their smartphone or tablet. They will be able to experience even more control, flexibility, visibility and accuracy to estimate and process claims on-site, resulting in a faster and better claims experience for our clients, and more importantly their policyholders.”
