There are two ways that you can utilize the Hover - Xactimate integration to seamlessly pass property data, sketches, and damage photos from Hover into Xactimate. Both workflows are available for Web, Desk, and Mobile.

  1. Start in Hover - Take the photos on site then import the data into Xactimate.

  2. Start in Xactimate - Initiate a new Hover project from within Xactimate, capture the photos, and then import the data into Xactimate.

    1. This workflow can be used to invite a professional partner or policyholder to complete the capture for you.

  • The individual IA needs to be entered on the request in Verisk before requesting HOVER data

How much will this cost? Are there any fees?

There are no additional fees for using this integration if you are on a membership plan. However, if you are not on a Hover membership plan, you will not be able to utilize the integration.

Can I select a Hover deliverable in Xactimate or XactAnalysis?

Yes. The Hover deliverables (Roof, Roof & Walls, Interior Walls) shown in the provider dropdown menu are controlled by your configuration in Xactimate.

How do multiple structures work with this integration?

For each additional structure, you will go through the "Request Data" flow separately. Structures can then be stitched together in Xactimate.

Can I use the framing wizard with Hover sketches?

Yes, the Hover job will come over as a "wireframe sketch" and a can be used as is with XactScope.

Please note that the wireframe sketch only allows for stick framing in the framing wizard. You do, however, have the ability to convert the wireframe sketch to a legacy Xactimate roof sketch, if needed, to unlock additional framing options.

Do macros work with the Hover sketches?

Yes, macros pull in measurements from the Ridge, Perimeter, Valley and SF/SQ.

Do defaults get over-ridden?

No. Any defaults set for a particular profile are adhered to with this integration. The Hover sketch will not override any of these settings as it comes in.
