A Connected Dashboard for Claim Handlers
B2B Desktop Application
Overview & Goals
After a driver gets into an accident, their insurance carrier may send out a field appraiser to meet with them to examine their vehicle, collect accident information, and capture photos in order to write a repair cost estimate for the car. This process kickstarts the claims lifecycle and the estimate created will be used by a repair shop to execute on repairs. Mobile Appraiser Pro is a native app used by field appraisers to help manage their assignments, collect vehicle documentation, and leverage AI to generate a first rough draft of the preliminary estimate automatically based on the data they collect.
I served as the lead designer on this project for the past few years and worked closely with the product manager and development team to take what started as a simple photo-taking app and grew it into a fleshed out work management tool.
The Problem
A field appraiser needs an effective solution that consolidates the various jobs to be done of their assignments and streamlines it into a quick an accurate flow that facilitates them reaching an accurate repair estimate.
The Field Appraiser Journey
A field appraiser's car is their office; they travel from location to location meeting with frustrated vehicle owners on the best path forward. They need to quickly ascertain the condition of the vehicle, come up with an accurate repair plan, and collect the evidence that justifies their choices all within an hour.
Expanded Photo Capture Functionality
The photo capture process for appraisers can require many detailed photos to aid in justifying their choices on an estimate. I expanded upon previous iterations of photo capture by introducing new sections for key distinctions such as prior damage and interior photos, as well as using tabs for more flexibility for the user in terms of in what order they capture photos.
AI-Powered Estimates
Data entered from previous steps help power an AI model that constructs a rough draft of the preliminary estimate automatically. The user is presented with the estimate and can make changes by swiping on different line items and can change the operation type or amount of labor hours. Once done, the user can specify certain parts for some of those operations as well as view the estimate they've arrived upon for this assignment.
