AI Tool for Total Loss Calculation
Let your AI agent instantly compare repair estimates with market values and recommend whether to repair or total a vehicle—complete with a written justification for your claim file.
You spend hours in Excel and CCC One, toggling between repair estimates and NADA Guides, just to justify a total loss decision. As an auto appraiser or claims adjuster, you risk errors, delays, and pushback from supervisors and insurers when every calculation and explanation must be perfect.
An AI agent that helps auto appraisers decide if a vehicle should be repaired or declared a total loss by analyzing repair costs and current market value.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In auto insurance, appraisers and claims adjusters often waste time pulling data from CCC One, NADA Guides, and emails to determine if a vehicle is a total loss. The manual process of comparing repair costs to market value, then drafting justifications for each claim, is tedious and error-prone. Each case requires careful documentation and clear explanations for both supervisors and policyholders. The constant back-and-forth with underwriters and clients adds to the frustration.
