BRAINTREE, Mass., May 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OnSource, the platform that connects insurance companies with third-party vehicle and property photo inspections via smart phone apps, has recently partnered with Smart Picture Technologies to improve the speed and accuracy of collecting and recording measurements, right from the photo.

Smart Picture Technologies' patent-pending technology platform enables users to capture Smart Picture images which contain millions of measurement data points. Measurements are calculated instantaneously and users can edit and share Smart Pictures directly from OnSource's portal. This process can save considerable time when collecting measurements in the field.

"Smart Picture has created powerful solutions in the home improvement and real estate industries so we're very enthusiastic to bring SmartPicture to the insurance industry, as well," says founder and CEO, Kari Myllykoski. "Our technology uses any smart phone and increases  productivity, improves accuracy, prevents human errors, and saves time and money spent  in any type of work or process which requires measuring and estimating, like processing an insurance claim"

This technology can be used by OnSource's photo inspectors and with their suite of customer self-serve inspection apps. By using OnSource's photo claims apps, customers can snap photos using a "smart target" and all measurements are automatically captured.

"We're really excited to partner with Smart Picture.  Adding this technology to our current inspection process makes a lot of sense for our clients who want to make collecting measurements easier and more accurate than ever before," says OnSource co-founder Tim Schneider.
