A clear report for everyone involved
itel Material Matching is used on hundreds of thousands of claims every year. Every report gives adjusters, carriers, and homeowners a clear, consistent picture of the match determination — and what comes next.
Match determination — a clear yes or no, with the evidence behind it
Closest matching product — including the exact SKU when available
Supplier with product available — direct next steps to connect with a distributor of the matching material at the confirmed price

Discontinued? Not a problem.
We connect carriers, contractors, and homeowners to a warehouse of discontinued building materials — making small repairs possible even when the original product is no longer in production. When a match is found in discontinued stock, we automatically reserve the materials for 30 days, so the repair can proceed without delay. For roofing and siding claims, this means a damaged section stays a damaged section — not a trigger for full replacement.
Available wherever the claim takes you
Submit from the loss site, the office, or anywhere in between. Material Matching is available through the itel NOW App or physical sample submission.
