Reports, photos and estimate documents arrive by email or portal and have to be downloaded and attached to the claim file by hand, so the file is often incomplete when it is reviewed. On Guidewire (core claims system), the claim record already holds the context this work depends on: claim and exposure context and assignment triggers. Without a connection, that context is re-keyed into each downstream tool and drifts from the claim file.
Documents, photos and reports from connected systems and providers are stored against the claim in VIP, and vendor activity and reports post back to the claim file where the integration supports it. With Guidewire, VIP takes in claim and exposure context and assignment triggers and writes activity and documents and expense and financials back to the claim. Confirm how VIP activity, documents and financial transactions land on the claim and exposure.

| Activity and documents | VIP → Guidewire | Vendor activity, reports, photos and findings post back to the claim file as notes and attachments. |
