5. Industry need for CynCast • Increasing number of “systems” with no end in sight (claims, payment, CSI, Rental, Status, parts, etc) • Growing interest by others to gain access to shop information (vendors, consumers, insurers, rental providers, etc) • Complexity making its way to the shop • CIECA standards exist but adoption has been slow • Insurers, information providers, shops defining their own KPI measurements

10. Repair Status Management – The Challenge Insurers and Shops have little to no transparency and electronic means of communication throughout the vehicle repair process. • Inability to track and communicate on repair progress creates waste affecting cycle time and customer satisfaction • Body shops track repair status using over 20 different body shop management systems – making it difficult to share data in a common language • Phone calls acting as the primary mechanism to share information • Consumers report that one of their chief complaints with the claim process is that they were not kept informed • Solutions that do exist are proprietary and additive to existing business processes

12. Background – Requirements • Build a repair status solution that works with any shop management system or platform • Make it easier for the 2,000 shops that do business with a top 10 auto insurance carrier • Reduce manual steps & streamline communications between the vehicle owner, shop, field staff and insurance company • Create a consistent workflow across all groups

13. Background – Requirements • Provide a platform for focusing on exceptions and not spending time on claims that are on target • Provide a means to electronically communicate with partners • Provide a platform for automating communication with vehicle owners • Provide an audit trail for the entire claim file • Provide actionable data for reporting

25. The Benefits • No need to require a specific estimating or shop management platform for repair partners • Electronic communication between partners • Reduction of phone calls between repairer, insurer and vehicle owner • Visibility into claim repair status and more importantly, visibility into claims that are in exception • Streamlined claim processing = reduced cycle time
