Encircle takes documentation full-circle with 360° photo capture

In restoration, seeing is believing. From the moment you step on-site to the final walkthrough, capturing the full scope of work is essential for fast estimates and even faster approvals. But with so much to document, traditional photos don’t always tell the whole story.

Encircle is making it easier than ever to document every angle in an instant with 360° photo capture and viewing, powered by an integration with Ricoh Theta cameras.*

With a single tap, take complete room overview shots—giving remote estimators, reviewers and adjusters the context they need to make fast, confident decisions.

What are the benefits of 360° photos in Encircle?

1. Bring your entire documentation workflow under one roof

Photos, videos, notes, floor plans, and now 360° photos—all automatically organized, labeled and accessible in one place. Encircle also includes Hydro for moisture documentation and contents to inventory and pack out personal property. Everything you need to document, organize and report every must-know detail of a property loss, is in Encircle.

2. Capture every single detail

One click, full coverage. 360° photos eliminate blind spots and give you a complete room overview in one shot. This overview photo can not only cover your butt against claims of damage caused by your team, but can also make it easier for estimates to be done without the estimator being on site.

3. Save money on software

Document every job with precision—without breaking the bank. Encircle includes 360° photos in your subscription, providing more documentation at no extra cost. By consolidating all of your documentation tools into one app, you avoid the expense of multiple single-point solutions. Choose a software that grows with your team, projects and ambitions from day one.

4. Have one simple tool for field teams

Juggling multiple apps slows you down. With 360° photo capture built right into Encircle, there’s no need to jump between apps, screens and risk documentation errors from having documentation all over the place. Take a 360° photo and stay on the same screen for close-up photos and a walkthrough video. Keep your workflow smooth, keep your team on the same page and your home screen clutter-free.

5. Use trusted technology

Ricoh Theta cameras make capturing 360° photos fast and easy—even for first-time users. Just attach to a tripod, power on and connect to the Encircle app. With dual lenses capturing 180° each, you get a full 360° image in one shot, and models like the THETA X and Z1 deliver impressive clarity with up to 60MP and 23MP resolution.

A 360° photo has become standard documentation on every restoration job. As the #1 photo documentation software, Encircle gives you everything you need to capture every must-show detail of a property loss. Tell the full story, speed up approvals and help everyone make more informed decisions. It’s time to take your documentation full circle with Encircle.
