Not all data is created equal. The source, quality, and ownership of the data determine whether it empowers or hinders decision-making.

Managing claims is a delicate balance of speed, accuracy, and cost efficiency. To help insurers overcome these challenges, Nearmap built two new solutions: Roof Measurements and Exterior Measurements. These products are designed to simplify and enhance the claims process, offering precise roof geometry and comprehensive exterior property data — powered by proprietary 3D mesh technology.
By integrating these powerful capabilities through Verisk XactAnalysis®, insurers now have access to faster, more reliable measurements. This allows you to make better decisions across a range of claim scenarios.
Traditionally, the claims process required on-site inspections to collect measurements for roofs and exteriors. This is not only time-consuming and costly, but it’s also prone to human error. More complex properties have a higher likelihood of some mismeasurements — putting claim accuracy and customer satisfaction at risk.
Nearmap Roof Measurements and Exterior Measurements address the challenges of traditional data gathering by leveraging technology to ensure precise, actionable insights. Powered by leading 3D technology, these solutions reduce the need for site visits and provide a way to process claims with speed and certainty.
Built to support faster, more efficient claims workflows
Roof Measurements and Exterior Measurements were built to address critical pain points for insurers.
Faster claim resolution
Traditional inspections can delay claim processing, prolonging the time it takes for policyholders to receive support. With Nearmap, residential roof measurements are estimated to be delivered in as fast as one hour, residential exterior measurements within two hours, and commercial roof and exterior measurements within 24 hours. This accelerates settlements and improves customer satisfaction.
Reduced loss adjustment expenses
The cost of field inspections and related travel expenses can quickly add up. These solutions minimise the need for on-site visits while providing more accurate measurements upfront — reducing rework and associated costs.
Improved claim accuracy
Misjudged measurements lead to inaccurate payouts or disputes with policyholders. 3D mesh-derived measurements ensure precise dimensions, enabling more accurate claims payouts without relying on policyholder input.
Seamless data integration
Roof Measurements and Exterior Measurements deliver actionable insights directly into your existing XactAnalysis® workflow. With fast turnaround times, these solutions empower insurers to process claims with speed, accuracy, and confidence.

The science behind the solutions
Roof Measurements and Exterior Measurements have a powerful technological foundation. Proprietary 3D mesh captures roof geometry (roof length, number of facets, total area, pitch angle, hips, ridges, valleys, rakes, and eaves) as well as exterior details such as walls, windows, and doors.
These 3D contents are extremely detailed, with sub-3” ground resolution. And, the solutions seamlessly integrate with Verisk XactAnalysis®, allowing for a smoother workflow within existing claims management systems.
Measure with confidence
Roof Measurements and Exterior Measurements are designed to support claims teams in any situation. For catastrophe teams, access to high-resolution imagery, roof and exterior measurements allows for rapid triage and prioritisation of claims — even if travel is restricted or hazardous. Teams can remotely assess damage across broad geographic areas, allocate resources with greater precision, and resolve large claim volumes efficiently, ultimately reducing backlog and improving policyholder satisfaction during critical events.
For adjusters handling routine property losses or supplemental claims, the ability to retrieve detailed measurements within minutes means files can be managed and settled accurately — without reliance on third-party site visits. Adjusters can confidently validate damage scopes, prepare estimates, and collaborate with contractors, all from the office. This not only accelerates claim cycle times but also minimises cost leakage and supports consistency in the estimating process.
Adopting Roof Measurements and Exterior Measurements makes it easier to manage claims by directly addressing operational challenges. These solutions significantly reduce claim cycle times as they eliminate delays that often happen when scheduling and conducting on-site inspections. And, with remote access to precise, current measurements, adjusters can compile complete and accurate estimates faster and help policyholders recover sooner.
