Point-and-click measuring

The Leica Disto A6® laser rangefinder is an extremely handy, time-saving tool—essentially a laser-based, point-and-click "tape measure". It's extremely accurate (within 1/16th of an inch over 650ft.) and can instantly measure any dimension in ways that a regular tape measure just can't compare to. For example wall lengths can be captured without regard for where furniture is, and long rooms or high ceiling heights can be measured by one person in a second. On it's own it's fairly easy to justify the $649 price.

However, imagine being able to not only measure any distance instantly, but at the same time feed the measurement directly into a graphical floorplan of property loss estimate. And imagine doing it without any wires. Symbility mobile claims is the only property claims estimating system that offers this giant leap in efficiency.

When used with a Bluetooth®-enabled Disto laser rangefinder and a Bluetooth-enabled Tablet PC, adjusters and contractors have the most efficient method for scoping a loss, bar none. Enter a room and inspect the damage. Draw the room with one tap. 3 more taps to capture the length, width, height. Add doors, windows, openings to the diagram and capture the width, height, etc. also with the Disto. Drag-and-drop items from the pricing database to generate the cost estimate. You're done—move on. (It also works great for measuring roofs).

What's most impressive is that you didn't stop once and you didn't need to put anything down or pick anything up...with the Disto and Symbility's pen-based estimating software you always keep moving. Scoping rooms is reduced to just a few minutes. To top it off, after the last room, the estimate can be entirely complete—upload it to Symbility.NET with your wireless modem and move on.

Symbility has partnered with Marathon FL-based www.distagage.com to provide sales, service and support for the Leica Disto A6. Distagage.com is staffed by experienced adjusters. Reach them at (877) 423-4786 and be sure to ask for the Symbility discount!

The wireless Disto can be affixed to your tablet with the included Velcro® strips to create a single device to both draw rooms, doors, windows, openings, roofs, and capture the dimensions of them without stopping to put down the tablet and measure manually with a tape measure.
