The Old Way vs. The New Way of Documenting Your Home

Imagine having to prove everything you own tomorrow. Could you do it?

The Old Way

For decades, documenting your home for insurance has meant a handwritten list here, a pile of receipts there and photos scattered across devices. It feels simple enough. Until disaster strikes.

When it’s time to file a claim, families realize those lists are incomplete, the receipts are missing and the photos don’t hold up. The result is delays, disputes and payouts that fall short.

It’s no surprise that over 60% of homeowner claims face documentation gaps.

The New Way

Technology now makes documentation effortless. A quick room scan can capture your belongings in detail. Items are recognized and organized automatically. Everything is stored securely in the cloud and turned into trusted proof insurers can accept.

The new way is not only easier. It’s more reliable. Your claim is backed by evidence, not memory.

Why It Matters

Insurance isn’t broken. Documentation is.

The old approach put the burden on families to track every purchase and hope they never need it. The new approach gives households clear, standardized, claims-ready records.

When documentation is done right, insurers process claims faster, families recover sooner and billions in unnecessary costs can be avoided.
