SAN DIEGO, CA—̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, a leading provider of technology, connectivity and information solutions to the Property & Casualty (P&C) claims and Collision Repair industries, today announced the availability of two new offerings to the industry: the Diagnostics and Calibration Services Locator and ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ShopPak for Cloud.

Among the many challenges collision repair facilities face due to COVID-19 is the ability to procure partner products and services, as many organizations have decreased their hours of operation or in some cases completely closed down. As a provider of diagnostic scanning and calibration tools that help facilitate the safe and proper repair of most modern vehicles, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ created the Diagnostics and Calibration Services Locator after hearing from several North America-based facilities that finding qualified scanning resources has become difficult during the pandemic. The locator matches facilities that provide in-house diagnostic devices and capabilities with those who may need those services, assisting anyone to find needed scanning or calibration services by location. The sign-up form also allows any facility to submit their available services to the locator free of charge.

Additionally, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ is announcing the availability of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ShopPak for Cloud—the only mobile platform to provide estimating and basic shop management functionality in an easy-to-use cloud-based application. The solution offers repair facilities the following:

• One-click ordering: Submit an electronic purchase order directly to OE dealers via an OEC CollisionLink integration with a single click.
• Email parts list: Choose the parts to be ordered, add any desired notes and email the parts list to any parts supplier.
• Manage repair orders: Convert an opportunity to a repair order, manage a list of repair orders and close repair orders.
• Generate repair documents: Download or print a final bill, repair order (RO) document or work order document for a job.
• Apply disclaimers: Manage and apply disclaimers to repair documents, and apply signature lines to the bottom when needed.
• Platform integration: Easily order parts from industry procurement partner from within ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Cloud Estimating, and directly access the parts order interface and the entire Connect platform.

"̽»¨¾«Ñ¡'s two latest offerings help maximize functionality, highlighting our leadership in mobile and cloud innovation while demonstrating our dedication to proper and safe repair," said Jack Rozint, Vice President, Sales & Service, Auto Physical Damage, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡. "We're proud of our ability to partner with the industry to further streamline repair facility management and provide assistance that will make a big impact to our customers' businesses."

̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ has also created a central hub for industry updates and resources to help during the COVID-19 crisis, including links to the Diagnostic locator tool.
