In CCC® ONE a line's component type and its labor type are independent. For mechanical parts they should match. They routinely do not, and the difference leaves the shop on every affected hour.
The estimate got written fast and the line stayed on the default Body rate.
Mechanical is typically 30 to 60 dollars an hour higher than Body, so every hour on that line underbills.
Nobody re-reads a finished estimate line by line, so the file ships and the money is gone.
Workflow imports new and updated workfiles continuously. On connection EstVis back-scans the open pipeline as well, not just net-new jobs, so cars already in the shop are covered.
A line is flagged when its component type is mechanical, AND its labor type is not mechanical, AND it carries non-zero billable hours. Same rule, every line, every time – auditable, and not a heuristic.
Flagged lines group by case with the vehicle, claim number, line description, operation code, the wrong labor type and the exact hours at stake. Your team updates the labor type in CCC ONE or files the supplement – EstVis stays out of CCC's screens.

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.

The Windows application your team works in all day. Unlimited installs.
Base + Documentation – $178/mo billed annually
The audit engine ships in the Documentation package, on top of Base. This is the pairing most shops start with, because it is the one that pays for itself first.
Also consider Management adds the paint materials overrun tracking that catches the refinish side of the same mis-categorized lines, and it is where Corrections Metrics counts the labor hours recovered. Together with the above that is $267/mo billed annually.

Paint Supplements
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.
Parts and Invoices
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.
