Hail Otto • February 10, 2026

If you live in Saskatchewan, you know that hailstorms can strike with little warning and leave your vehicle looking battered in just minutes. When that happens, fast, accurate hail damage assessment is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity. For drivers in Saskatoon and Estevan, dealing with Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) hail claims just got a whole lot easier and faster, thanks to Hail Otto’s revolutionary DRIVEnSCAN technology.

Why Fast Hail Damage Assessment Matters


After a major hailstorm, auto body shops and insurance agents experience a surge in claims.
