How to Organize Photos for Freight Claims
Key Features
Tagging and categorization
Tag and categorize photos by shipment number, product type, serial number, tracking number, or other tags and categories of your choosing.
If your desired tag is a barcode value, you can scan the barcode with your device’s built-in camera or integrated scanner, and it will automatically create a tag. This allows you to quickly find photos of the exact shipment or product that you need.
Easy photo capture
Take photos directly in the app, or upload photos from your mobile device. PhotoTag is available on iOS and Android, and can be used on-the-go for ultimate flexibility.
For a more rugged solution, or if you have to scan many barcodes, our PhotoTag for Rugged Android app allows you to capture photos and scan barcodes with a rugged Android device such as the Zebra TC21.
Find your photos quickly
Select tags and categories for automatic filtering, or manually search for a tag or category in the search bar. In the web app, you can also search by date or uploader.
Secure cloud storage
Your photos are always available from any mobile device and are encrypted and stored on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Share photos by category
Share photos from a specific category with customers or your insurance company. You can also download and share photos.

A brief summary of the PhotoTag mobile app workflow

To take a photo, select the Camera tab. The tags and categories you selected in step 1 are automatically linked to your photo and are uploaded to the cloud.
Step 3: Use List View to find images
