DocuHome's Powerful Tagging Function

DocuHome today announced the world’s most all-encompassing home inventory software solution that will offer more preparedness to homeowners, renters and small businesses.

DocuHome revolutionizes how the world processes and engages with asset information by providing a complete system of integrated tools and web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems.

“At DocuHome, our goal is to provide our customers with the most effective and reliable means to securely store, access and exchange personal asset information.” said, Bradford Stanley, CEO and Founder for DocuHome. “We are pleased to work with our customers to deliver the latest, proven solutions that help protect consumers and small businesses from threats, evaluate current insurance policy coverage, and help maximize compensation for insurance claims.”

“We think that DocuHome has the potential to revolutionize collaboration between policy holders and their insurers to accurately address coverage needs.” said, Bradford Stanley. “From identifying underinsured customers to faster claim settlement compensation, we feel our software is a win win for both the insured and insurer.”

Statistics show many homeowners underestimate the worth of their possessions and aren’t sufficiently insured. Going through the house carefully and taking pictures for possible future insurance claims provides a chance to re-evaluate the amount of insurance needed to replace everything in the home.

Regardless of the type of policy, what people may not realize is that you are still required to have an itemized inventory of your belongings for your insurance claim. Without proof of ownership, insurance companies usually won’t replace items or cover the true costs of replacing them.

DocuHome is available for a 60 day free trial offer at: http://docuhome.com

A fire was raging out of control in the brush-covered hills of Malibu, four miles from the Stanley residence. Still, Anita Stanley made a pot of coffee; the family had experienced multiple fire evacuations since 1999. “Anita, I think this one is different,” said her husband Brad on return from a drive to assess the situation. Then the power went out. By 6:30 a.m. nothing remained of their home.

Amidst the many challenges, Anita began a laborious six-month effort to recreate the personal property inventory and proof of purchase their insurance company required for a claim settlement. She was aided by a series of photographs Brad had taken of their home and property as a precaution after the first of the seasons fires. The images helped her recollect the scope of the family’s belongings. “After your life has turned upside down you just don’t have the wherewithal to make inventory lists from memory.”

But even though the couple had planned ahead, they rapidly discovered that the meticulous documentation their insurer required was overwhelming. Everything needed to be accounted for. While they had visual documentation of large items such as their wide screen television and living room furniture, the insurer also needed precise information on everything from kitchen cutlery, clothing items and bed sheets as well as more complex estimates for construction costs on their home.

Today, Brad uses his family’s experience to help Southern Californian families living in fire, earthquake, or flood areas to plan ahead. The first step Brad’s company emphasizes for other families is to get important documentation and detailed photographs of your property out of harms way. And Brad learned from his own experiences.

In the case of disaster or theft, families may access their DocuHome information via any computer. Thus, even in scenarios when personal or business computers are destroyed or stolen, families and individuals may immediately begin their claims process. In addition to generating claim-ready personal property inventories, DocuHome’s software application demonstrates the level of insurance coverage needed for your personal property. Often residents discover after-the-fact that though they copiously paid for insurance, their level wasn’t enough.

While disaster seems to occur on a television screen and not in real lives, many homeowners will face similar circumstances to the Stanley’s. In 2007, FEMA reported there were an estimated 1.6 million fires with direct property loss due to the fires estimated at $14.6 billion.

“Of course, I hope others don’t go through our experience,” said Anita, “But the truth is: it is necessary to be prepared.” “We donate to the American Red Cross. They were first responders to our founders tragic event. 5% of all proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross.”
