TruePlan now available for 360 cameras

Matterport Trueplan for Xactimate hit the market almost a year ago, and since then we have been disrupting the industry’s traditional approach to sketching and saving our customers thousands of hours of manual documentation. We are excited to announce that we are reducing the prices of  Trueplan to make it more affordable than ever to get an Xactimate-compatible 3D as-built model of any property. With the simple click of a button, you can order a TruePlan from any of your Pro 1, Pro 2, or Matterport compatible 360 cameras starting at $79.

What’s so great about Matterport TruePlan? Let’s start with Xactimate® software by Verisk which is widely used by insurance companies and their adjusters to calculate building damage, estimate repair, and rebuilding costs, generate property loss estimates, and put together claim settlement offers.

One of our TruePlan customers is ATI , the largest family-owned disaster recovery firm in the United States. Like many restoration companies, they already use the Matterport platform to manage a library of 3D models captured with our Pro2 camera, using them as rich, immersive visual documentation in lieu of photos and video. And now with TruePlan, they can generate an Xactimate-compatible file (.SKX) from the same Matterport model in just one click. Within 48 hours, a complete and accurate as-built sketch of the property is delivered and can immediately be uploaded into Xactimate. 

According to a new case study published by ATI, the adoption of both 3D scanning and TruePlan can save restoration companies, on average, 163 days of sketching time and $121,830 annually over typical investigation techniques. In addition, ATI reports being able to estimate losses 4x faster, increase sketch time productivity by 5x, and increase the accuracy of sketches by 33%.

“Not only have we observed significant cost savings and reduction in sketching time, but we also have seen an increase in the overall accuracy of our sketches. On average, a traditional manual sketch had a 66 percent accuracy score while the Matterport TruePlan was 99 percent accurate,” says Robert Harrell, Director of Operational Improvement & Technology at ATI.

TruePlan not only provides a more accurate sketch while saving hours of time, but customers also note they can plan their operational budgets more effectively, especially during catastrophic events (CAT). You can watch a recent webinar we hosted with Rob who talked about TruePlan in depth and how he used it to organize and operationalize for a recent CAT in Texas. 

“Not only does Matterport TruePlan eliminate the need for, and cost of, manually sketching, it helps us optimize our staff, especially when catastrophic events occur,” said Ted Foster, Director of Training at BELFOR. “TruePlan allows our team to scale quickly and opens us up to larger and higher volume claims.”

We never get tired of hearing how much time TruePlan has saved producing estimates or how much quicker the claims cycle has become. Why? Because it means that people can get back to their lives that much faster. And that’s really what it’s all about.
