The Travelers Companies, Inc. has begun using 3-D technology from HOVER designed to help make damage inspections quicker and safer.

HOVER’s technology transforms smartphone photos of any property into an accurate three-dimensional model, gathering precise measurements of a building’s exterior, including its roof, siding and windows.

Specifically, Travelers claim professionals can now widely use HOVER to easily inspect damages without the risks that come with climbing ladders, and policyholders can use HOVER to submit their information without having to schedule an on-site inspection.

Travelers began a pilot program with HOVER in November 2018 and has conducted more than 50,000 inspections with the technology for both its personal and business insurance customers.
