Capture evidence where the claim happens.
The inspection is the one part of the file that cannot be recreated later. Photos, measurements, and notes are captured against the claim on-site and arrive already organized — by elevation, roof slope, and room — in the structure a report actually needs.
Capture
On site, against the claim — not into a camera roll.
Organize
Into elevation, roof slope, and room sets as they arrive.
Closeout
Straight into the position letter and the final package.
Photo sets · CFH-28451
- Roof — north slope
- Roof — south slope
- Roof — test squares
- Elevation — front
- Elevation — rear
- Interior — living room
- Interior — attic
These sets are the structure the position letter and final package are assembled from — no re-sorting a camera roll afterward.
Captured against the claim
Every photo is associated with the claim file and its photo set at the moment it is taken.
Appraisal-shaped photo sets
Elevations, roof slopes, test squares, and rooms — the structure a scope and a report are built from.
Field notes on the record
Observations recorded on site thread into the file's history alongside the photographs.
Report-ready output
Photo sets come out of the file already ordered for the position letter and the final package.
A photo app gives you organized photos. Then they live in a photo app.
Dedicated field-photo tools do the capture part well. The question is where the photographs end up: in a separate system that has to be integrated, exported, or opened alongside the claim — or on the claim file itself, next to the assignment email, the estimate, the position letter, and the invoice.

CompanyCam and tools like it are strong photo-documentation products built for contractors and job sites. The difference is scope: they organize photographs around a project, and ClaimFileHQ organizes the whole claim — with the photographs as one part of the same record.
