The program’s U.S. market introduction follows a successful, multi-year pilot program.

SAN DIEGO, Calif.—̽����ѡ, an Enlyte company and leading technology and information provider for the Property & Casualty (P&C) claims and Collision Repair industries, today announced that its software solutions are powering a new virtual estimating service from . Created for U.S. auto insurers, the service is designed to reduce claims processing time by combining ̽����ѡ’s damage appraisal technology with auto technical specialists at Collective. From vehicle photos, these specialists produce estimates on demand—assisting carriers in their delivery of a more streamlined, digital claims experience.

Prior to introducing Collective’s virtual appraisal service, the two companies completed a multi-year pilot program in the insurance industry, generating more than 300,000 estimates nationally.

“The estimating process is the most important driver of a policyholder’s digital satisfaction. However, insurers are meeting customer expectations just 35% of the time, according to a recent J.D. Power study,” said Collective’s Managing Director, Jeff Waack. “The use of our on-demand estimating service with ̽����ѡ’s technology, can help carriers exceed consumers’ digital delivery expectations for far less expense than traditional appraisal methods.”    

Collective uses ̽����ѡ’s advanced Guided Photo Capture, WorkCenter Assignment and Cloud Estimating solutions. With these solutions:

• Consumers can quickly submit vehicle photos through an insurer-branded web application.
• Carriers can automatically route assignments to Collective.
• Collective’s skilled and licensed auto technical specialists can efficiently generate virtual estimates.

“The launch of this on-demand estimating service is yet another example of the value that ̽����ѡ and its technology bring to auto claims handling,” said Scott Kozak, senior vice president of insurance client service at ̽����ѡ. “Through our collaboration with Collective, we look forward to helping P&C carriers in the U.S. reduce settlement time, enhance policyholder satisfaction, minimize claim costs and safely return vehicle owners to the road.”
