In collaboration with a University of Missouri-Columbia interdisciplinary application-building course, Farm Bureau Financial Services (FBFS) has introduced a mobile app to assist clients in managing information after an accident.

The My FBFS iApp can serve as a checklist of sorts for the information that should be collected after an incident, said Nancy Doll, marketing communications vice president at FBFS.

The app also contains a photo feature to capture images of the scene.
