Plus: paint material overruns (PPG®, Axalta®, BASF® auto-supplements) and parts price differences between estimate's list prices and vendor invoices – both real recoveries, both shop-specific. Let's discuss them with your numbers during demo onboarding.
Cases, photos, estimates, invoices, parts, payroll and customer updates live on one connected platform – and your data stays on your server1.
Assignments auto-import from CCC ONE®, Mitchell®, and Audatex® into a bucket board your shop defines2. Assign estimators, bodytechs, painters and other staff you define – every case moves through your customizable stages.
Guided, step-by-step capture – by your staff or by the customer from a link. Every photo files itself to the case with the descriptions insurers expect. No naming, no sorting.
EstVis audits every estimate line by line, automatically – surfacing missed or mis-billed labor and paint material gaps, then alerting your team to supplement and recover the difference before the job closes.
Pre-order parts before the car is even dropped off – from the damage photos and signed Work Authorization your customer submits remotely. Scan an invoice from the mobile app and EstVis posts it for you. Each part is color-coded from not-ordered to received or returned, and EstVis flags a cheaper alternative the moment a new estimate comes in.
Payrolls generate manually or automatically as cases change status, combining estimate hours with the actual time logged at each stage – tuned to exactly how your shop pays.
Pre-filled Work Authorizations, status updates, deductible reminders, review requests and upsell offers go out automatically as the case moves – with calls and texts answered right inside Workflow.

Capture guided photo documentation, scan VIN, DRL, parts and invoices, assign staff, create cases and move them through your buckets – right from the bay.
Owners, estimators and office managers on what changed once the back office stopped leaking labor and time.
EstVis caught mechanical labor we'd been eating on almost every RO. The supplement alerts paid for the subscription in the first week – it's not close.
The guided photo capture changed how the floor works. Techs shoot the sequence, it files itself to the case with the right descriptions, and our supplements stopped getting kicked back.
We pre-order parts off the damage photos before the car is even dropped off. The cheaper-part alerts alone save us real money on every other job.
Payroll used to take me a full afternoon. Now it builds from the time logged at each stage and the estimate hours – tuned to exactly how we pay. I review it and it's done.
It pulled straight into our CCC ONE workflow with nothing to rip out, and the data still lives on our own server. That was the deal-breaker for us with everything else.
Status updates, deductible reminders and review requests just go out as the case moves. Customers stopped calling to ask 'is it ready yet,' and our Google reviews doubled.
Where materials reimbursements fall short, where CCC quietly trims labor time, and how 3D scans close the documentation gap – three reads on the dollars that leak out before anyone notices.

EstVis is the all-in-one back-office platform for collision repair shops. It connects to CCC ONE, Mitchell, and Audatex, imports every assignment automatically, and runs the rest of the shop on top of it – photo documentation, work authorization, supplements, parts, payrolls, customer notifications, QuickBooks accounting, and quality-control checklists.
It is a deterministic conditional audit that runs server-side on every estimate the moment it is imported. Each match is surfaced for review so your team can file the supplement before the file ships. The mechanical rate is typically $30–$60 per hour higher than body. Recovery is modest per RO but consistent month over month – it stacks with paint material supplements, parts price corrections, and additional-services upsell to give a shop a net-positive return on the subscription.
No – and that is deliberate. Estimates are still written in CCC ONE, Mitchell, or Audatex, where your estimators already work. EstVis sits on top of those systems and runs the back office: it auto-imports every estimate the moment it is written, then drives photo documentation, parts, payrolls, customer communication, and the mechanical labor audit off that data. It also handles supplements to estimates already in flight – when a bodytech's photo surfaces additional damage, the estimator is notified, the supplement is flagged on the case, and the revised estimate re-imports automatically. You keep your estimating system; EstVis turns its output into a running shop.
Yes – all three. Assignments and estimates auto-import every few minutes. Photos and supplements flow both ways. The mechanical labor audit runs on every imported estimate, regardless of which estimating system wrote it.
About 15 minutes total. Installation and configuration take roughly 5 minutes; adding employees takes another 10. EstVis specialists provide free remote-assisted installation. Staff are typically comfortable using the software general features in 2–3 days.
On your own Desktop Server, on-premise – not on a third-party cloud. Cases, photos, invoices, customer records, and payrolls are stored locally. You stay in control, and shop operations keep running during internet outages. Only customer-facing features and insurance imports pause until connectivity returns.
Yes. Right-click any case to add an invoice, add a payment, sync PayPal payments, or search a repair order by invoice number – all from Workflow. QuickBooks must be running on the same PC. Eliminates double entry between estimating and accounting.
Base is $89 per month billed annually or $99 per month billed monthly, with 10 users included. Optional packages – Customer Service, Documentation, and Management – are $89/mo each on annual billing ($99/mo monthly), and each one adds 5 more users. VoIP and QuickBooks integrations are $29 per month each. There is also an Unlimited tier – every package and integration plus unlimited users – for $4,471 per year (annual billing only, includes a 10% bundle discount). First month is free, no credit card required.
Yes – both. The mobile client covers photo documentation by insurance template, VIN and driver's license scanning, parts QR scanning, invoice scanning, and case management on the floor. Launch Scanner integration is Android-only.
Applies to deployments running the EstVis Desktop Server, where your shop’s data is stored on-premise on your own hardware. With Web Workflow, data is stored in the cloud.
Automatic import of assignments and estimates from CCC ONE, Mitchell and Audatex requires the EstVis Desktop Server installed and running at your shop.
