Grouped by what each one actually returns to the shop: dollars you already earned, hours the job costs you, and the record that backs the bill.
Two places where the dollars are yours before EstVis touches anything – and leave anyway unless somebody checks every line.
CCC® ONE leaves mechanical lines on the default Body rate. Every hour on those lines ships to the insurer at body labor cost, and Mechanical runs 30 to 60 dollars an hour higher in most shops. EstVis audits every line and flags the gap while there is still time to supplement.
PPG®, Axalta® and BASF® mixing systems report exactly how much paint a job used. When that number beats the estimate, EstVis flags the case red in Workflow and generates the supplement itself, invoice attached – without it, the shop eats the difference every time.
The phone calls, the status hunting and the walk-to-the-desk questions that never appear on an invoice.
Every bucket move can trigger a text or email – damage-photo request, status update, pickup notice, follow-up – so the phone stops being the only way a customer finds out what's happening to their car.
Assignments auto-import from CCC ONE, Mitchell® and Audatex® into the buckets your shop defines, with staff assigned down to a single estimate line – so status lives on the board instead of in someone's head. Add-ons let a bucket move fire a check sheet or a customer message on top of that.
What you can prove when the adjuster pushes back, filed as the work happens instead of reconstructed afterward.
Templates guide the shot list, and every photo files itself to the case with the description an insurer expects. Add the Customer Service package and the customer can capture it themselves, from a texted link, before the car reaches the shop.
(A nice image of the parts board, with each part color-coded from not-ordered through received, will be here soon.)
Scan an invoice on the Mobile Client and EstVis posts it. The parts board tracks every part from not-ordered through received, EstVis warns the moment a vendor invoice beats the estimating system's price, and flags a cheaper aftermarket part before anyone has to go looking.
The rest of what EstVis does – the jobs that don’t need a page of their own. No invented tier names, no hidden add-ons.
