(Topic has multiple pages1 2 3 4 )
I have been an XACT user for a number of years.&160; Started doing some daily claims for a vendor and one client insists on SIMSOL program. ( I log on to their remote computer to write estimates)&160; Boy is it easy to learn and very 'adjuster' oriented.&160; No one in my neck of the woods uses Simsol.&160; If it weren't for the carriers who send me claims via XACT, think I would switch to SIMSOL.&160; Cost prohibitive at this point.&160; Would have to install program on a separate laptop ...

1 Replies and 4818 Views Simsol for Daily Claims  4818  1 Started by  jennrhot I am relatively new to the adjusting world.  I have been doing CAT work and now daily claims for a company that uses Simsol exclusively.  Does anyone know of any other companies that I can apply to for daily work that utilize Simsol.  I have found it to be very user friendly and would rather stick to one software program as I develop myself into a better adjuster.  I understand that Xactimate is the preferred software and I am level 1 certified with it, however I much prefer ...

2 Replies and 6072 Views Simsol V4  6072  2 Started by  TMan &160;Simsol, A feature was disabled from V3 to V4 that is affecting my work flow. &160;In v3 I would preview my assembled file. &160;Once satisfied I would 'save as' a pdf to the desired location. The 'save as' feature is disabled in v4. &160;Now after previewing I have to close preview, return to global print screen, switch from preview to PDF, choose desired location proceed. This represents several additional steps over the previous linear work flow I was accustomed to in v3. &160; ...

0 Replies and 5161 Views New Adjuster Short Form Report  5161  0 Started by  johnpostava We have had several recent requests for a new adjuster 'short form' report for smaller losses where a full captioned narrative is not needed.&160; Anyone have a good template they wounld not mind sharing&160; We can&160;build a form that autofills the loss&160;and estimate info and leave the&160;adjuster ample space to write a short narrative of the loss.&160; &160; If we use it, I'll send you some SIMSOL&160;Goodies....

8 Replies and 8999 Views Simsol Heavy Commercial Database  8999  8 Started by  R_Smith I am working on a project expanding the use of adjusters within the government recovery effort.  I am in our second trial with great support from the government, but Xactimate has decided not to support us on this trial.  I have never used Simsol, but would like to hear more about the program and just how robust is their heavy commercial database.  We look at educational facilities  ( public schools & colleges ), city facilities and state agencies.   A...

3 Replies and 6331 Views Simsol Coverage Setup  6331  3 Started by  Rscotth45 Hello all, I have been using Simsol for quite a few years now adjusting flood claims. I recently took a class for a different estimating software and one of the things that was taught was defining and using subcoverages. I know that in Simsol you can define a subcoverage but I have yet to find out how to actually use this subcoverage. What I am trying to do is define a subcoverage of coverage B for the special limits on a flood claim and have those Simsol specify those limits in the esitmate. I...

(Topic has multiple pages1 2 )
The news wire just released a story about a fairly large restoration company in Denver being sued by the state for&160;'fraud' because their pricing was 20-30 above what the insurance carriers wanted to pay for repairs to damaged structures.&160; In the words of a popular news anchor, 'I may not be a restoration contractor but I am a thinker', so what the state is telling contractors, if you don't match the prices being offered by insurance companies to do the repairs to a building, you will ...

0 Replies and 4158 Views Ike Pricing for Texas and Louisiana  4158  0 Started by  johnpostava We would like to use this thread as a clearing house for repair pricing in the Ike-affected areas. Early indications that common item pricing is remaining steady. Housing and remodeling were way down prior to the storm indicating no inital major increase in labor costs. Inland material suppliers are up and running and materials are in good supply indicating no jump in material pricing. All indications point to no shift in repair costs at this point. However, that could change. As CAD...
