In 2025, successful adjusters are blending boots-on-the-ground experience with powerful digital tools. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to stay competitive, the right tech can help you:
- Close claims faster
- Improve accuracy
- Stand out to staffing firms and carriers
Here are the tools every modern adjuster should know β and use.
π₯οΈ Core Tools for Every Adjuster
Xactimate/XactAnalysis
Still the gold standard in property estimating. Learn how to scope properly and build detailed estimates using this software. Pro Tip: Get familiar with macros, sketching, and line-item justification.
Claim Management Portals
Most firms use platforms like:
- Alacrity Solutions
- Pilot Passport
- CoreLogic
- KMC OnDemand
Each one varies slightly, but all are used to receive claims, upload reports, and communicate with carriers.
π± Mobile Tools That Make Life Easier
Matterport or DocuSketch
For 360Β° documentation, virtual walkthroughs, and high-quality inspections. Not every firm requires it, but itβs becoming more common β especially in commercial and CAT claims.
Google Drive or OneDrive
Stay organized in the field. Upload photos, notes, and documents in real-time, and access them from any device.
Voice-to-Text Notes Apps
Dictate scope notes while walking a property. Tools like Otter.ai or even your phoneβs built-in voice memo app can save hours.
π‘ Communication & Coordination Tools
Zoom / GoTo / Teams
Virtual briefings and client updates happen more than ever. Get comfortable using screen share and video conferencing β it’s how youβll communicate with desk adjusters and team leads.
Calendly
Let firms or homeowners book time with you. Keeps your schedule tight and avoids endless back-and-forth.
