The photo file your team used to build by hand

Every photo sorts itself into the section of the case it belongs to – preliminary, by estimate line, supplement, complete, invoices – and submission to the insurer handles file size, format and descriptions in the layout that insurer expects. Pro moves the whole shot list ahead of drop-off: the customer shoots it from a texted link, and your estimator pre-orders parts before the car is on the lot.

What it costs you today

  1. 01

    A damage photo used to mean a memory card, a cable to the office computer, and renaming forty files by hand before any of them reached the case.

  2. 02

    Insurers want a specific description on every photo, and nobody writes that many by hand without skipping a few.

  3. 03

    Waiting for the car to reach the shop before anyone takes a photo means the estimator can't pre-order parts until the vehicle is already on the lot.

How it works

  1. 01 / Choose

    A template for the job

    Pick the insurer's photo template, or the shop default, and the Mobile Client shows the exact shot list – which angle, which panel, in what order. This guided capture from a template is in Base.

  2. 02 / Capture

    Staff or the customer, either one

    A bodytech shoots the list at intake, as part of Base's guided capture. Text the customer a link with a short video instead and they shoot it themselves before the car reaches the shop – that self-capture, bundled with the damage-pics request, is in Customer Service, and it lets the estimator pre-order parts from photos alone.

  3. 03 / File

    Every photo lands with the description an insurer expects

    Descriptions attach automatically as photos come in, sorted into preliminary, estimate-line, supplement and complete sections. Capture tied to individual estimate lines, plus invoice, complete and supplement photos, voice memos and one-touch upload to MRCC, is in Documentation.

Guided capture ships in Core – by insurance template, by estimate line, plus supplement, damage and complete photos, and one-click submission in the insurer's own format. Pro adds voice memos with speech-to-text, and the request that asks the customer to shoot the damage themselves before the car arrives.

Questions shops ask

Does the customer have to come into the shop to take photos?
Not with Customer Service turned on. The customer gets a texted link with a short video walkthrough and shoots the list themselves, before the car reaches the shop, so the estimator can work from photos alone. That self-capture link ships in Customer Service, on top of Base.
Do we have to write a description for every photo before it goes to the insurer?
No. Descriptions attach automatically as photos come in – that's true on the Base template capture, not only on Documentation's estimate-line capture.
What's the difference between Base and Documentation here?
Base covers guided capture from an insurance or default template – the shots taken at intake. Documentation adds capture tied to individual estimate lines, plus invoice, complete and supplement photos, voice memos with speech-to-text, and one-touch upload to MRCC.
Can staff record a note instead of typing one?
Yes, on Documentation. Hold the record button on any photo to leave a voice memo, and EstVis converts it to text on the case.
