Creating vehicle damage estimates manually requires estimators to photograph damage, measure parts, search for labour rates and supplier costs, and compile everything into a formatted document. This repetitive work consumes per estimate and introduces pricing errors.
Automation captures damage photos and notes, looks up current labour and parts costs automatically, calculates totals with markup and tax, and generates both standard and insurance-compliant estimates in minutes.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Estimator uploads photos and damage notes via a form or mobile app. The automation is triggered and begins processing the job.
The automation analyzes photos and notes to identify damaged parts, assess repair vs. replace, and extract key measurements. Output is a structured damage report.
The automation queries supplier APIs and labour guides to fetch current prices for identified parts and labour hours. Costs are matched to the damage report.
The automation sums labour and parts, applies shop markup and GST, and produces a final estimate total.
A document generation service creates a professional estimate PDF with photos, part details, labour breakdown, and totals.
If the claim is flagged as insurance-related, a second version of the estimate is generated with insurer-required fields and formatting.
The estimate is emailed to the customer and insurer, filed, and the job record is created with estimate details and status.
