To capture on-site data of any asset (photos, videos, answers to questions) or perform custom tasks (notarizations, police report retrievals, etc). This allows the customer to receive on-demand reports in a cost-effective manner.
Robin’s positive outlook and her ability to pivot the company from B2C to support B2B services when she saw the opportunity. Recently garnered interest from the world’s largest third-party claims handling processor, Crawford & Co. To acquire 85% of WeGoLook, now valuing the company at $42.5 million.
