How do I get Electronic Dispatches from Insurance Carriers
The AutoBody Alliance program uses the CCC Autoverse network for transmitting
estimate data between AutoBody Alliance and repair facilities. You can read more
on the Electronic Dispatching page.
Where does all this data come from?
AutoBody Alliance is a product of Quality Claims Solutions (QCS), a prominent
services provider in the insurance and automotive repair industry. Over the past
several years, QCS has been gathering data on automotive repair facilities
through day to day operations in other products in order to build up to the
offering of AutoBody Alliance.
Through this data we were able to begin the product by identifying thousands of
repair facilities throughout the United States. After launch, the product has
been able to maintain it's own data by participating shops creating accounts to
add and maintain their listings going forward. At this point all data about
individual shops is maintained by the shop owners themselves who log into the
website and maintain their own listings.
