22 Apr 2009
Audatex Estimating Incorporates New Features, Improves User Interface.
SAN DIEGO, CA (April 22, 2009) - Audatex North America, Inc., a leading provider of software and services for the automotive claims processing industry, today announced the availability of Audatex Estimating™, Version 6.0.
Audatex’s flagship workflow solution for auto insurers and auto collision repairers now provides integrated damage photographs on-screen alongside two-dimensional vehicle graphics for greater ease of use, speed and accuracy. Audatex Estimating 6.0 also introduces new special materials codes for boron/high-strength steel, and mixed substrates.
“The Database Task Force cited substrate identification as one of the top issues for repairers and Audatex responded, said Rick Tuuri, VP of Industry Relations for Audatex. “They have been identified in the database for the past couple of years and now they are clearly identified on the damage screen and print on the estimate, which definitely helps repair technicians.”
The newest version of Audatex Estimating sets the stage for the initial release this summer of three-dimensional, full-color, “intelligent” graphics that estimators can view and rotate as if they were physical parts in their very hands. The three-dimensional graphics feature is currently offered by Audatex in Europe, and it is being finalized for the North American market. Initial release is scheduled for June.
“We’re fanatical about providing products and services that help our customers be more efficient, more skilled and even—in some cases—more experienced,” said John Kotsopoulos, Managing Director for Audatex North America. “It’s no secret the industry is suffering a loss of veteran estimators, and with that the institutional knowledge that years of experience bring. Audatex is the industry leader in building intelligence into our database and solutions, We are building more intelligence into core solutions to help address this workforce shift and provide maximum value to customers.”
