Founded in 1999, ActivePhoto provides web-based digital image documentation solutions. The digital camera is rapidly replacing 35MM and Polaroid film in most business processes where photos are used for documentation. This creates the need for capturing, labeling, transmitting, storing, and retrieving these digital images. In addition digital images need to be merged or attached to other documents and data then later retrieval and display as part of a complete workflow automation solution. This digital image documentation market is further accelerated by the proliferation of new convenient image capture devices including PDAs and cell phones with embedded cameras. Mobile field workers now have at their fingertips the ability to take a photograph of anything that adds information or documents a situation. ActivePhoto solutions service multiple industries. Currently, Insurance companies are dominant. Pilot projects are underway in other industries including commercial real estate, e-commerce, facilities management, construction, transportation and government. A large online auction company is also one of the largest customers. MSA Group's insurance company, National Grange Mutual, uses ActivePhoto's latest product offering, PC Express, to dispatch jobs to field staff and to process claims. The field person receives his/her assignment from the secure ActivePhoto server and completes the job quickly and easily by assembling a claim folder including photos, documents, estimates and bills. This folder is then uploaded with a single click to the National Grange account for review and processing. PC Express provides the ability to include documents from legacy software products such as estimating or billing systems using ActivePhoto's open folder approach. Automatic e-mail notifications are sent to managers and dispatchers to verify the job was completed. All authorized National Grange staff now have immediate access to their claims by logging into the secure National Grange account hosted by ActivePhoto.
