BodyShop Direct Lite

Estimating | Claims Logging | Parts Management | Management Information

Features:

BodyShop Direct seamlessly interfaces with Audatex, Glassmatix, ARCS, Motex, Quoits, Pathways and Inter-est estimating systems. It also operates independently using Thatcham TTS (database of industry standard repair times) and TPS (comprehensive parts pricing system linked to TTS). The Thatcham Estimating module uses a simple "point and click" operation allowing easy selection of the damaged panels and all associated components. Opinion time, if required, can then be added simply and quickly. An unlimited number of digital photos can be attached to the estimate to record damage to support the assessment. Both can then be electronically transmitted to your work provider or engineer for assessment and authorisation.

BodyShop Direct also contains the full SSVG Q Parts catalogue. Once an estimate is created an instant comparison between OEM and SSVG aftermarket parts can be carried out in line with work provider agreements.

Benefits:

  • Produces a fully priced estimate quickly and easily using Industry approved times. Importing estimates created with Audatex, Glassmatix, Motex,Quoits, ARCS, Pathways and Inter-est eliminates the need for dual data entry and, therefore, avoiding risk of errors.
  • Visual support with the estimate helps speed up the authorisation process allowing repairs to start almost immediately by possibly eliminating the need to wait for an on-site inspection.
  • Capture photographs of non accident damage
  • Save time by automatically cross-referencing from OEM to SSVG Parts. Eliminate phone calls, looking up parts in catalogues, and manually adding lines to your estimate.
