Kabir Shaal, president of DSC, and himself a certified commercial drone operator, noted that the unique combination of experience found in the DSC team makes a compelling case for partnering with Loveland Innovations. “Our team has almost 90 years of combined experience in insurance and technology”, Kabir said, adding that “Experience has shown us that to succeed in the introduction of any innovative technology demands constant hands-on participation tailored to local needs. We bring committed and local Canadian insurance drone expertise to the Canadian Insurance and restoration industries.”
DSC Vice President of Technology and Operations, Sam Margel, is also a certified commercial drone operator, with decades of experience advising companies across the continent on the alignment of enterprise technology with business objectives. “DSC had been researching the application of drone technology to meet Canadian insurance industry needs for over two years, evaluating all comers” he said. “IMGING stands out as the very best technology, and their development team is the very best I have ever seen”, he continued. “I’ve been a management consultant in the insurance restoration space for eight years and before that I spent over 30 years with IBM, PwC consulting and other major technology firms”, he said. “The IMGING solution is the most innovative and disruptive insurance technology I have come across, and that disruption will happen fast.”
IMGING software was designed for the North American market from its inception and was built with scale and efficiency in mind. It easily integrates into existing claims and underwriting workflows with a web application that Insurance carriers can use to schedule and define inspections ahead of time, assign to adjusters in the field, and organize and track jobs. The tablet application then makes it easy for field users to organize jobs, check airspace, conduct automated flights and create inspection reports with detailed annotations.
