The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In the auto insurance industry, appraisers waste time pulling labor rates from Mitchell, cross-referencing parts prices in CCC One, and manually compiling estimates in Excel. Each claim demands careful documentation and up-to-date pricing, but missing data or calculation errors often slip through. The manual process leads to slow turnaround and frequent corrections, especially for those managing multiple claims weekly.
