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.
Address-level property characteristics attach to the claim so scope decisions start from real data.
Scope lines, totals and revisions land on the claim's estimate tab with the source reference kept.
Reports and supporting documents are stored with the claim rather than emailed around.
Optional. Claim identifiers and assignment status are sent so work is filed against the right loss.
Issue API credentials and connect in a test environment until output is verified.
Choose what requests data — a new assignment, an inspection, or a manual lookup on the claim.
Confirm which property and estimate fields land on the claim and which are reference only.
Switch to production. Each retrieval is logged against the claim with a timestamp.
