Pratt Adjusting Launches 'Stanley Ounce' – The Smart Scale Revolutionizing Claims Adjusting

Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – Pratt Adjusting LLC, a leading provider of innovative solutions for the property claims adjusting industry, today announced the launch of “Stanley Ounce,” a game-changing digital scale designed to dramatically streamline and improve the accuracy of contents claims assessments. For years, adjusters have wrestled with outdated, often inaccurate methods for estimating the value of personal property losses. Manual inventory lists, subjective estimations, and reliance on broad depreciation schedules have always been the norm. It's been a headache for everyone involved – adjusters, policyholders, and insurance companies. Pratt Adjusting is looking to change that. “We’ve seen firsthand the challenges adjusters face when documenting and valuing contents losses,” says [Name & Title - assume CEO, John Miller] John Miller, CEO of Pratt Adjusting LLC. “It’s time-consuming, prone to error, and frankly, frustrating. Stanley Ounce isn’t just a scale; it's a solution designed by adjusters for adjusters. We listened to the frustrations, and built a tool to address them.” What is Stanley Ounce? Stanley Ounce is a rugged, portable, and incredibly accurate digital scale specifically engineered for use in the field during property claims inspections. It’s not your grandma’s kitchen scale. This is a professional-grade instrument built to withstand the demands of real-world claims investigations. Here’s what sets Stanley Ounce apart: Unmatched Accuracy: Utilizing advanced load cell technology, Stanley Ounce provides precise weight measurements down to the ounce – crucial for accurately determining the value of items like clothing, electronics, books, and other common contents. No more guessing! Integrated Mobile App: The scale seamlessly connects via Bluetooth to a dedicated mobile app (iOS and Android) that allows adjusters to instantly record weight data alongside item descriptions, photos, and condition notes. Pre-Loaded Contents Database: The app features a comprehensive, continuously updated database of common contents items with pre-populated average replacement costs. Adjusters can quickly look up items, enter the weight measured by Stanley Ounce, and the app automatically calculates an estimated value. Customizable Depreciation Schedules: The app allows adjusters to easily apply and customize depreciation schedules based on the item’s age and condition, ensuring fair and accurate valuations. Automated Reporting: Stanley Ounce generates professional, detailed reports that can be easily exported in various formats (PDF, CSV, etc.) for submission to insurance companies. This cuts down on time spent creating paperwork. Offline Functionality: No Wi-Fi? No problem! The app can store data offline and synchronize when a connection is available. Rugged & Durable Design: Built to withstand drops, bumps, and exposure to the elements, Stanley Ounce is designed for use in any claim environment. We built it to last. Long Battery Life: Adjusters can rely on extended battery life to complete multiple inspections on a single charge. Addressing Key Pain Points Pratt Adjusting developed Stanley Ounce to directly address the common challenges faced by claims adjusters: Inaccurate Valuations: Subjective estimations of item weights and values lead to disputes and delays in claim settlements. Stanley Ounce eliminates guesswork by providing precise weight measurements. Time-Consuming Inventory: Manually listing and valuing contents is a significant drain on adjuster time. The integrated app streamlines the process, allowing adjusters to complete inspections more efficiently. Lack of Standardization: Different adjusters may use different methods for valuing contents, leading to inconsistencies and potential liability issues. Stanley Ounce provides a standardized, defensible process. Documentation Challenges: Maintaining accurate and organized records of contents claims is essential for compliance and audit purposes. Stanley Ounce automatically generates detailed reports that simplify documentation. Beyond the Basics: How Stanley Ounce is Changing the Game Stanley Ounce isn’t just about weighing items; it's about transforming the entire contents claims process. “We’re not just selling a scale; we’re offering a solution that empowers adjusters to deliver better service, reduce claim costs, and improve policyholder satisfaction,” explains [Name & Title - assume VP of Sales, Sarah Chen] Sarah Chen, VP of Sales at Pratt Adjusting LLC. “It's about building trust and transparency into the claims process.” The tool is also proving to be valuable in scenarios involving large-loss claims, such as those resulting from fires or floods. Its ability to quickly and accurately assess the weight of damaged contents helps streamline the sorting and inventory process.
