PRECISION IN PRACTICE

UPGRADE YOUR RECORDS FROM PAPER TO DATA PLATFORMS

In the fast-paced world of automotive repair and collision services, accuracy and efficiency are paramount. As the industry moves more and more into the digital age, the days of paper and pencils continue to fall to the wayside in favour of a digital data trail.

The integration of cutting-edge scanning and estimation technologies has revolutionized the industry, enabling professionals to streamline processes, ensure safety and provide more precise cost estimates for both insurers and vehicle owners. From 3D scans to automatic systems, scans and estimates have gone from ‘done by hand,’ to ‘done in the palm of your hand.’

Just this past August, Mitchell International announced the availability of a new feature in the Mitchell Cloud Estimating service that automatically detects a completed scan or calibration and gives users the ability to quickly add it as a line on the collision-damage appraisal.

Similarly, BMW has recently released a “Proactive Care” A.I. system that will allow for a “digital-first” approach in which the dealer and automaker first notifies a driver of a needed repair rather than the other way around.

If a collision shop fails to record a consistent record of a repair, then from a data perspective, it didn’t happen. Help create consistency and credibility in your own repair work by looking over the following products selected especially to help you make scans and estimations with ease.
