VCA with Encircle helps adjusters resolve claims quickly and securely

INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION SOLUTION REDUCES THE NEED FOR ON-SITE VISITS; LIBERATES ADJUSTERS TO FOCUS MORE ON DECISION-MAKING AND LESS ON ADMINISTRATION

Toronto, April 30, 2020 – Virtual Claims Adjuster Inc. (“VCA”), a provider of intelligent insurance claims automation, is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Encircle Inc., a leading provider of real-time claims documentation and productivity tools for the insurance and restoration industries. The partnership is the result of VCA’s initiative to help adjusters manage personal property claims files with greater speed, consistency, and accuracy.

“At Virtual Claims Adjuster, we recognize the recent battle with COVID-19 has impacted how we go about daily activities,” states John Varghese, CEO, Virtual Claims Adjuster. “In an effort to assist with flattening the curve during these unprecedented times, VCA has teamed with Encircle to provide an integration that will reduce the need for on-site visits by inviting the homeowner to instantly submit images of the claim damage with a single click.”

The VCA Encircle integration allows the adjuster to send a secure link to the insured where they can quickly and easily capture, upload and save claim images. This unique link also makes it possible to sign documents remotely and share them back to the claim. This integration promotes the well-being of all parties involved, as the homeowner can continue filing their claim, while the adjuster focuses on making timely business decisions. Encircle connects all parties involved in the claims process, including policy holders, insurance companies, and restoration contractors, on one easy-to-use platform, that simplifies the process by taking previously tedious paper-based tasks and replacing them with intuitive digital tools.

“With Encircle, we’re securely automating and accelerating the visual input phase of the claim to increase productivity without compromising your health or security of the data,” said Varghese. “Our software is SOC II Compliant and automatically encrypts all your data.”

VCA’s intuitive system enables new users to start resolving claims in less than an hour of training. All features are accessible with a mouse-over and customer service calls are addressed in less than 30 minutes.

“Setting up the integration between Encircle and VCA was seamless,” said Antony Vachell-James, Managing Director of Mac Marine, a VCA customer. “Obtaining the relevant account-specific information from Encircle and entering this information was a simple and straight-forward process; the two systems were immediately able to communicate with each other. This is a game-changer for VCA and is sure to help enhance the claims journey for all involved.”

As a part of Virtual Claim Adjuster’s COVID-19 relief offerings, the company is waiving transactional fees for Encircle claims submissions. VCA introduced bi-directional integration with Encircle at the end of 2020.

“Despite the current health crisis, adjusters still need to do their jobs safely and efficiently,” added Paul Donald, CEO, Encircle Inc. “We are proud to join forces with Virtual Claims adjuster to help maintain business continuity during the global pandemic crisis.”
