Overview

Encircle is a field documentation software platform purpose-built for the property restoration and insurance claims industry. The platform enables restoration contractors, insurance adjusters, independent adjusters, TPAs, and carriers to capture, organize, and share comprehensive property loss documentation in real time.

The platform consolidates photos, videos, 360-degree images, floor plans, moisture readings, contents inventory, digital forms, e-signatures, and professional reports into a single mobile-first application. By bridging the information gap between field service providers and claims professionals, Encircle reduces claims cycle times and improves settlement accuracy.
