The situation

Automation is only as good as the data coming in.

Incomplete intake

Missing documents and unusable photos trigger follow-up requests – and the case lands back on a claims handler’s desk.

Manipulated evidence

Edited photos, screenshots and AI-generated images take a few clicks to create. Verification has to start at the point of capture.

The platform

From the first image to the decision – without replacing your core system.

Aestimo connects to your core system, workflow, DMS and CRM through APIs. Capture collects the evidence, the Workbench prepares it, your experts review – and the result returns to your process with a full audit history.

Aestimo Capture

Complete and usable – right at the point of capture.

Your customers receive a link by SMS, email or WhatsApp and are guided step by step through the capture in their browser. Every photo is checked the moment it’s taken. Only when everything is complete does the case go to your system.

Guided self-submission

The default: steps per claim category, real-time feedback on every photo and automatic completion once everything is in. No appointment, no expert.

Live video inspection

For complex cases: the assessor guides the customer on a video call, controls camera and flashlight and takes photos remotely – no travel.

99%of photo and data manipulation prevented at the source

Photos, video and data are captured live in an interface controlled by Aestimo – not uploaded from the gallery. Edited or AI-generated files never get into the case. Aestimo operational figure.

  • Real-time check of every photo with instant feedback
  • Journeys per claim category with mandatory steps
  • Automatic completion once everything is in
  • Triggered and handed off via API and webhook
  • AI damage description and detection of screenshots or photos of photos
  • No app – link by SMS, email or WhatsApp, in 6 languages

For complex cases

Guided live when details matter.

When a claim needs an expert’s eye, the assessor accompanies the capture on a video call – without travelling. The evidence flows into the same process.
