New collaboration helps insurance, restoration, and claims professionals save time and increase efficiency by automatically accessing iGUIDE’s Virtual Walkthrough directly within Xactimate

WATERLOO, Ontario & JERSEY CITY, N.J.: Planitar Inc., makers of iGUIDE, a leading proprietary camera and software platform for capturing and delivering immersive virtual walkthroughs, precise floor plans, and accurate property data, today announced an expanded collaboration with Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading global data analytics and technology provider, and its industry-leading Xactimate® solution for property claims management.

Insurance, restoration, and claims professionals can now easily access an iGUIDE Virtual Walkthrough within Xactimate, eliminating the need to switch between these programs. This integration streamlines workflows, enabling faster property assessments by consolidating visuals, damage verification, and measurement tools into a single interface.

Beyond convenience, the iGUIDE Virtual Walkthrough provides a detailed, interactive view of each room, offering a more accurate and comprehensive perspective. Professionals can confirm building materials and explore the scene of the loss, reducing the need for repeat site visits and expediting claims resolution.

“We are excited to bring our collaboration with Verisk to the next level. This product integration leverages the market-leading technology of Xactimate and iGUIDE and will set a new standard for accuracy, efficiency, and customer satisfaction for insurance and restoration professionals,” said Alexander Likholyot, Planitar CEO. “Combining iGUIDE's accurate measurements, interactive virtual walkthroughs, and precise property data with Xactimate's powerful estimating platform will streamline workflows, reduce errors, and improve collaboration between contractors, adjusters, and property owners.”

How it works:

• The virtual tour link automatically embeds when an iGUIDE Sketch (ESX file) is generated.
• When an iGUIDE Sketch is opened in Xactimate, a separate window displays the virtual walkthrough alongside the sketch.
• There is no need to open extra tabs or manually add the walkthrough—simply click the integrations tab to access.
• Any iGUIDE Instant, Standard or Premium Sketch now includes a virtual tour URL embedded within it upon creation.

These features save time, improve accuracy of measurements, and expedite claims resolution.

“We’re excited to welcome iGUIDE to Verisk’s expanding ecosystem, giving Xactimate users superior tools and services that drive accuracy, productivity, and efficiency,” said Jason Love, vice president of product for Verisk Property Estimating Solutions. “This new Xactimate integration provides our shared customers with access to third-party virtual walkthroughs to deliver an enhanced user experience.”
