10 Home Inventory Tips to Simplify Insurance Claims
After a fire, flood, or burglary it is almost impossible to recall every item under stress. A ready-made inventory puts you in control when timing is critical.
How Binly helps: Binly's setup takes minutes. Stick a QR label on any container or large item, scan once, and you have a digital record you can access instantly from any device.
A systematic walkthrough reduces the chance of missed items, especially in closets, attics, and garages.
How Binly helps: Create virtual “rooms” inside the Binly app. As you scan each bin or object, assign it to its room so you can see gaps at a glance.
Visual proof speeds claims and verifies condition and style.
How Binly helps: Binly stores photos in the cloud alongside each item, no separate folders to manage.
Insurers use serial numbers to confirm ownership and value. Receipts back up the purchase price.
How Binly helps: After scanning, simply type or dictate the serial number and attach a receipt image.
Knowing replacement cost and coverage limits prevents under-insurance.
How Binly helps: Add purchase price, current value, and link each item to the relevant policy in Binly's insurance field. Export a CSV file and images for your insurance agent.
A list kept in the same home that just burned down will not help.
How Binly helps: All data syncs to encrypted cloud storage automatically. You can also share read-only access with family, attorneys, or insurance reps with one click.
Holidays, birthdays, and upgrades add value fast. Out-of-date inventories leave gaps.
How Binly helps: Scan a new item, tag its bin, and your master inventory is current in under a minute.
Jewelry, fine art, and electronics often exceed standard policy limits and may need scheduling.
How Binly helps: Flag items over a threshold you set.
Renovations change your dwelling replacement cost and can affect premiums.
How Binly helps: Use Binly to log materials, contractor invoices, and finish photos. Everything stays linked to the room.
During a claim or even a simple move, you need to find items quickly and prove ownership.
How Binly helps: Keyword search “bike,” filter by room, or sort by purchase date. Share a secure link with movers or insurers.
