Every motor claim now arrives as a set of photographs, and two questions follow. What is the damage worth, and is the evidence real? SOFT EDGE builds products that answer both from the same technology core: computer vision running on standard devices, measurement without a dedicated scanning rig, and standardised output that claims and estimating systems can consume directly.

HailMaster
In production Vehicle damage assessment on a standard smartphone or tablet.
An operator walks around the vehicle following on-screen guidance. The application detects and sizes each dent, maps it to the correct panel zone, and produces a standardised assessment in around fifteen minutes, with no scanning rig, no fixed installation and no dedicated hardware to move between sites.
Guided capture
On-screen masks and overlays direct the operator, so results do not depend on who is holding the device.
Panel-zone mapping
Dents are counted and sized per panel zone, giving one consistent structure across every vehicle and every assessor.
Your calculation logic
Twenty two calculation matrices are built in. Dent count only mode hands the commercial step back to your estimating system.
HailMaster Connect
In production The platform and API layer behind the assessments.
Connect is where assessments are administered rather than captured. Cases, users, tenants, reporting and integration all live here, and the API delivers finished assessment data into the systems where claims are actually settled.
Case management
Every assessment, its photographs and its audit trail in one place, organised by tenant and by user.
Reporting
Standardised damage and repair reports, exportable as structured data or as a document for the claim file.
Integration
An API and prepared integration templates for claims and estimating systems, rather than a manual re-key at the end of the process.
Claims integrity
MVP in development Verification of the evidence a claim is built on.
Measurement answers what the damage is worth. It does not answer whether the photographs are real. Our second product applies the same discipline to the evidence itself: image manipulation analysis, metadata forensics and vehicle identity validation, combined into a single score that routes a claim to a human reviewer rather than deciding anything on its own.
The product is at MVP stage and we are selecting a small number of design partners. It is not generally available.
Hardware and accessories
Scale markers, screens and capture accessories for practitioners are sold through the HailMaster product site, together with individual and small-team licences. Visit hailmaster.app.
