Export your floor plans to Xactimate®️, so that you have the information you need for your property claims estimates and reports.
Xactimate®️ is a preferred solution for insurance and restoration professionals to produce property claims estimations. With our Xactimate®️ integration, you can now combine the quality of magicplan floor plan sketches with Xacitmate's®️ estimation tool by simply exporting your created floor plan to Xactimate®️ with just a few taps.
How does the Xactimate®️ integration work?
Our Xactimate®️ integration is a premium integration, included with the Estimate subscription plan or for an additional cost. Please contact our Sales Team to activate the integration.
ℹ️ Note: The Xactimate®️ integration can be applied to a Workspace in magicplan, and will be available to members in a Workspace or Team who have been given access. It cannot be applied to specific Teams only.
Once the integration has been activated, there will be an Xactimate®️ export option under "Files & Sharing" in a project in the magicplan app and cloud. This export will send a project's floor plan to Xactimate®️, allowing you to see the floor plan sketch, dimensions and photos when working on a property claim. Check out the video below demonstrating how the integration works; then find the steps to follow in detail.
