Photo Management and Documentation Workflows to Boost Jobsite Productivity

By Community Team

The lack of organized and well-defined field documentation processes causes inefficiency and prolonged durations to complete inspections or provide task updates, therefore, resulting in higher operational costs and a poor customer experience.

Property insurers require their field service reps such as adjusters, contactors, and field service reps to gather countless photos detailing the condition of a property or the status of jobsite tasks throughout different phases of a project. Such tasks demand the assembling of high-quality photographs, videos, and sometimes other supporting documents to verify certain circumstances occurred to complete each job or to make payment for a transaction.

Manual photo processing and editing are resource-intensive tasks, especially for property inspectors and contractors who lack efficient photo capturing and editing skills. Technological advancements are making it easier to streamline business processes and enhance productivity without sacrificing quality, service, and accuracy.

In the following sections, we’ll explore how utilizing a real-time team collaborative photo management platform can help eliminate workflow redundancies and reduce errors while instantly delivering vital data to ensure each job is properly documented in a fraction of the time.
