See Neil's field workflow featured by magicplan.
Magicplan's new video follows Neil through a workflow for carrying a field sketch into Xactimate without redrawing it. It is a strong look at how the tools connect when the documentation starts at the property.

Why good jobs still get held up
A complete estimate starts at the property. When a field inspector misses a photo, measurement, or note, the next person has to guess, call back, or send someone out again.
Important photos are missing
The estimator cannot write what the field rep did not bring back.
The photos have no order
Hundreds of images are harder to use when no one can tell where they were taken.
The estimate and photos do not match
The line items say one thing while the photos and notes leave questions.
Supplements keep coming back
The reviewer has to ask for the same measurements, photos, or explanation again.
Someone has to return to the property
A missed room, elevation, or measurement creates another trip and another delay.
