What is Xactimate Mobile?

Learn what Xactimate Mobile does, who uses it, and how it fits into a property inspection and estimating workflow.

01

The practical answer

Xactimate Mobile is the field-facing version of Xactimate used on supported phones and tablets. It can help a trained user open projects, sketch property areas, add estimate items, capture photographs and notes, review the file, and move work between the property and the office.

02

Why this matters in a real field file

The value is not simply that Xactimate runs on a tablet. The value comes from connecting the inspection, sketch, photographs, notes, quantities, and estimate while the property is still available. A rushed mobile file can create just as much desk work as paper notes, so the workflow still needs a defined review step.

  • Open and verify the correct project
  • Confirm the applicable price list and project details
  • Sketch and name inspected areas consistently
  • Connect photos and notes to the right locations
  • Review the file before leaving or completing it

How Parrot Key teaches it

Parrot Key teaches Xactimate Mobile as part of a complete field process. The class follows the same order an operator uses at a property instead of demonstrating disconnected buttons.
