Hours disappear copying VINs, checking condition reports, and emailing insurers. One mistake can mean a costly dispute or a rejected file.

Calculates and documents salvage values for total-loss vehicles using real-time auction data and market analysis, saving auto appraisers hours per claim.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In auto insurance and appraisal, professionals spend hours each week extracting vehicle details from CCC One, researching auction prices on Copart and IAA, and justifying every salvage estimate in claim files. The manual process—jumping between Excel, PDF reports, and email—leads to inconsistent results and wasted time. Appraisers are forced to handle repetitive data entry instead of focusing on high-value assessments.

If you keep ignoring it
