Most Property and Casualty Insurance carriers rely on field inspections to assess and manage risk. Unfortunately, these critical decisions are based on various disorganized data collected in the field. Typically, many aspects of the inspection workflow, data collection and processes are not integrated, resulting in repetitive data entry and/or loss of data. This dramatically reduces the productivity of staff and increases the amount of uncertainty within the decision-making process.
Digitek offers an online Inspection Management web application, called Web-enabled Relational Database System (WRDS). The WRDS application is a state-of-the-art, web-based business solution that makes all information about an inspection available at the click of a button from anywhere and at any time. Configurable for inspections for virtually any line of business, WRDS system provides dramatic increases in productivity for field inspectors, underwriters and management.
