“Solera’s product approach to AI and Machine Learning makes it possible for repair shops to introduce photo-based estimating as a simple release upgrade. The solution is ready to produce accurate estimates for light to medium damage cases, allowing estimators to concentrate on more complex cases”, said Evan Davies, Chief Technology Officer of Solera.

Smarter routing decisions

Qapter’s AI pre-estimates also improve triage decisions in complex cases. For bodyshops that operate as part of a network, Qapter can increase the accuracy of routing decisions and significantly reduce the need for vehicles to be moved between sites.

“With Qapter we are ensuring the complex cases are allocated as early as possible, in the claims process, to the right repair team. Which ultimately saves us valuable time and cost and improves customer satisfaction.” Leontine Sitters, Director, Schadenet.
