ClaimFileHQ
CLAIM-FILE CRM FOR APPRAISAL & CLAIMS PROFESSIONALS

The command center for every claim file.

Carrier assignments, Public Adjuster referrals, Homeowner files, and work dispatched to outside Professionals each get their own workflow — with email, documents, photos, tasks, billing, and status on one claim record, from assignment through final package.

  • Built around the claim file, not a sales pipeline
  • Different workflows for every source of work
  • Native appraisal, umpire & final-package stages
  • Secure internal-team and partner-network operations

ClaimFileHQ in 30 seconds

A CRM where the record is the claim file.

General CRMs organize around a contact and a deal. Claim work does not fit that shape: the assignment, the inspection, the estimate, the position, the umpire, and the final package all belong to one file, and so does everyone who touches it.

Who it's for

Claim professionals who work files, and the organizations they work them for.

What it replaces

The seven places a claim file currently lives at the same time.

  • Disconnected inboxes
  • Spreadsheets
  • Cloud folders
  • Calendar tools
  • Task applications
  • Separate photo organization
  • Manual status chasing

Why it's different

Four things a general CRM does not do.

  • One claim record from assignment through closeout

    Email, documents, photos, tasks, billing, and status stay on the file instead of beside it.

  • Client-specific funnels and workflows

    A carrier assignment, a Public Adjuster referral, and a homeowner file each get their own stages and rules.

  • Appraisal-specific stages

    Inspection, estimate and position, opposing appraiser, umpire, award, and final package are built in.

  • Partner Network privacy and dispatch controls

    Dispatch across partner companies, 1099 contractors, and employees, with per-record visibility over what the network sees.

Built around real insurance appraisal and claim workflows — not adapted from a general sales CRM.

One claim, end to end

Follow a single file from the inbox to the invoice.

The same claim at five points in its life. Every stage inherits what the last one produced — the assignment, the scope, the photographs, the correspondence.

The assignment arrives and becomes a file.

A carrier emails the assignment. Email-to-File recognizes the client, opens the claim, captures the attachments onto it, and threads the message into the record — before anyone has made a folder.

Client Funnels

Different clients need different workflows.

A carrier assignment and a homeowner referral are different jobs. Each source of work gets its own intake, statuses, automations, templates, and reporting.

Core CRM

What every plan includes.

The whole claim-file CRM, on every plan from Solo Professional up. None of this is an add-on.

Explore the platform
  • Claim-file CRM

    Every claim is a record with its own identity, workflow position, and history — not a row in a sales pipeline.

  • Clients & workflow management

    Clients, contacts, and a separate workflow per source of work, all reporting into one dashboard.

  • Documents & claim photo storage

    Policies, estimates, correspondence, and photographs stored and versioned against the file they belong to.

  • Notes & activity history

    Internal notes plus a timestamped record of meaningful actions on every file.

  • Tasks & reminders

    Work items with an owner and a due date, raised on the file rather than in someone's head.

  • Email on the claim file

    Messages and attachments thread onto the record, so correspondence is not trapped in one inbox.

  • Automations

    Rules that route files, create tasks, and send confirmations and reminders as events happen.

  • Appointment & inspection tracking

    Appointments and inspections recorded against the claim, with the property and contact attached.

  • Reporting

    Counts, statuses, and workload across files, clients, and workflows — including separate funnels.

  • Billing & invoicing

    Invoices raised per file or per assignment, with outstanding balances tracked through closeout.

Every plan includes all of it, from Solo Professional up. The two modules below are the only capabilities priced separately.

Optional field modules

Two products for the work that happens at the property.

Priced separately and added to any plan. Everything above is already included — these are the field workflow on top of it.

Schedule Engine

Optional module+$39/mo

Stop mapping addresses before you can offer a time.

Every plan already tracks appointments and inspections against the claim file.

  • Reads the inspection locations already on your calendar
  • Ranks dates by proximity to the stops you are already making
  • Recommends inspection dates and times that fit your schedule
  • Sends those windows to the parties as proposed times
  • Booking links, and auto-schedule into the best-fitting window
  • A booking approval queue before anything is confirmed
Explore Schedule Engine

Photo Engine

Optional module+$59/mo

Inspection evidence captured on site, already in report shape.

Every plan already stores claim photos on the file and keeps them with the record.

  • Structured on-site capture against the open claim
  • Claim-specific photo sets rather than one album
  • Elevation, roof-slope, and room organization
  • Field observations recorded with the photographs
  • Report-ready output for the position letter and final package
Explore Photo Engine

Wherever these appear in a screenshot or demonstration on this site, they are labelled as optional modules. Schedule Engine and Photo Engine are optional modules, priced separately. See pricing for full plan and module details.

Partner Network

Shared where it should be. Private where it matters.

Everything dispatch sends out is visible to every party on the file — nobody is guessing at status. What stays private is the assigned professional's own work product: their photos and their email correspondence. Documents are their call, one by one.

One file, walked down the organization — and back up when review sends it back.

Work leaves your office, gets accepted by someone outside your staff, comes back for review, and only reaches the client once a Reviewer / Quality Assurance Analyst has approved it. Every move is on the record for all parties.

Sent to client
  1. 01

    Assignment received

    A carrier assignment arrives and opens a claim file inside the network.

  2. 02

    Dispatched

    Dispatch opens the file, sets the instructions, and sends the assignment out. Only Admin and Manager roles can do this.

  3. 03

    Offer sent

    The assignment is offered across the network — partner companies, 1099 contractors, and employees. Each can accept or decline, and an offer nobody answers expires on its own.

  4. 04

    Accepted

    D. Whitfield accepts and the other offers close. Who accepted, who declined, and what expired all stay on the file.

  5. 05

    In progress

    The assigned professional works the file — inspection, photographs, scope, estimate. Their photographs and their email correspondence stay private to them.

  6. 06

    Submitted for review

    The submission goes to the Reviewer / Quality Assurance Analyst, who approves it or sends it back for revisions. They do not assign or reassign files.

  7. 07

    Reviewed — sent back for revisionsBackward

    The Reviewer / Quality Assurance Analyst requests a revision and the file moves back to the professional who worked it. Nothing has reached the client.

  8. 08

    Review accepted

    The revised submission is approved and the file can move on.

  9. 09

    Sent for billing approval

    The approved file goes for billing approval against the original assignment.

  10. 10

    Sent to client

    The final package is delivered — with the whole path above recorded on the file.

Product illustration — fictional sample data.

Who does what

Dispatch

Admin / Manager

Creates and assigns files out across the network, tracks acceptance and workload, and reassigns when the day changes.

Review

Reviewer / Quality Assurance Analyst

The network's quality gate. Receives submitted work, approves it or sends it back for revision — without picking up assignment authority.

A Reviewer / Quality Assurance Analyst does not assign or reassign files.

Assigned professional

Partner · 1099 · Employee

Accepts or declines assigned files, works them end to end, and controls what of their own work product the network sees.

Who sees what

Dispatched work — visible to all parties

Anything the organization sends out is open to everyone on the file. Dispatch, the Reviewer / Quality Assurance Analyst, and the assigned professional are all looking at the same record.

  • The assignment and its instructions
  • Claim, insured, property, and loss details
  • File status and workflow position
  • Acceptance, decline, and reassignment history
  • Submissions, review decisions, and revision requests

Private to the assigned professional

Photos and email correspondence stay private to the assigned professional. Documents are controlled individually — each can be shared with the network or kept private.

  • Photos they capturePrivate
  • Their email correspondencePrivate

Their call, document by document

Every document the assigned professional uploads carries its own visibility switch — publish it to the network or keep it to themselves. Nothing is all-or-nothing.

  • Personal inspection log.pdfPDF · 96 KBPrivate

Separately, a professional's own clients and claim files — work they bring themselves, outside the network — are not part of the organization's pool and are not visible to it.

Security

Who can open a claim file, and what the record keeps.

Claim files hold policy numbers, loss details, and personal information about insureds. These are the controls implemented today.

Read the security page
  • Role-based access control

    Owners, managers, Reviewer / Quality Assurance Analysts, and staff see what their role permits.

  • Organization isolation

    Each organization's data is scoped to that organization, with per-record visibility controls inside it.

  • Encryption in transit & at rest

    Traffic is served over TLS; stored data is encrypted at rest in the managed database and file storage.

  • Activity & audit history

    Meaningful actions on a claim file are recorded with a timestamp and an actor.

  • Secure authentication

    Authenticated sessions, least-privilege access to internal systems, and secrets kept out of source code.

  • Controlled permissions

    Assignment, review, and approval are separate rights, each granted on its own.
