Integrations · Property data & estimating

Property data and estimates arrive on the claim, not in someone's inbox.

VIP connects Cotality property intelligence and estimating output to the claim file, so valuation, scope and estimate detail sit next to the rest of the claim record.

Connection pattern. Scope, fields and direction are confirmed with your team before build.

Data flow

What moves between the two systems.

Cotality → VIP

Property and risk data

Address-level property characteristics attach to the claim so scope decisions start from real data.

Cotality → VIP

Estimate detail

Scope lines, totals and revisions land on the claim's estimate tab with the source reference kept.

Cotality → VIP

Document output

Reports and supporting documents are stored with the claim rather than emailed around.

VIP → Cotality

Claim and assignment context

Optional. Claim identifiers and assignment status are sent so work is filed against the right loss.

How it connects

Set up once, then it runs.

Step 1

Credentials

Issue API credentials and connect in a test environment until output is verified.

Step 2

Trigger

Choose what requests data — a new assignment, an inspection, or a manual lookup on the claim.

Step 3

Field mapping

Confirm which property and estimate fields land on the claim and which are reference only.

Step 4

Go live

Switch to production. Each retrieval is logged against the claim with a timestamp.

Field mapping
