eAutoclaims and GreenLeaf Auto Recyclers Announce Automated Parts
Estimate Review and Technology Agreement OLDSMAR, Fla., Jan. 5
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GreenLeaf Auto Recyclers, a leading
supplier of recycled parts and services to the Automotive Collision
Repair industry, and eAutoclaims (OTC:EACC) (BULLETIN BOARD: EACC)
, a leading provider of managed collision repair services and
insurance claims processing technology applications, announced
today a technology licensing agreement that enables the GreenLeaf
"Automated Parts Review" process. The technology agreement for EMS
estimate part searches powered by eAutoclaims' eDataTransfer(TM)
streamlines the recycled parts procurement process and improves
recycled parts utilization. "Automated Parts Review" and parts
sourcing is provided through the GreenLeaf online "Rapid Parts
Locating System" and the GreenLeaf America Call Center. eAutoclaims
will provide the EMS technology tools to automate the processing of
estimate part searches. eAutoclaims will power the estimate upload
for GreenLeaf comprehensive collision estimate reviews to GreenLeaf
America. Currently, GreenLeaf processes over 500,000 transactions a
month through traditional methods and its fast growing online tool
"Rapid Parts Locating System." The technology will automate a
significant portion of these transactions. eAutoclaims and
GreenLeaf will display parts review results in the eAutoclaims EMS
rules based Audit tool, AuditPro(TM). Insurance companies can now
use one application for a complete electronic EMS auditing tool and
recycled parts locater with the salvage parts results right under
the OEM part number in the estimate. The combination of the two
features will improve recycled parts utilization, improve
efficiencies and reduce costs. The system allows eAutoclaims
network members the ability to conduct high- speed parts reviews,
the ability to view parts and prices from multiple recycle yards in
a single transaction, and determine availability; all in an
automated fashion. Collision centers and appraisers now have the
ability to locate recycled parts, receive a quote and order parts
in one simple transaction. By combining the Automated Parts Review
with eAutoclaims AuditPro(TM) rules-based audit program, shops and
appraisers can ensure compliance to insurance company guidelines
prior to submitting the estimate to the insurance company or
providing a copy of the estimate to the consumer. User support is
available from the GreenLeaf America Call Center and technical
support is provided by the eAutoclaims organization. "We are also
very excited about the integration of eAutoclaims' EMS tool,
eDataTransfer(TM) into our web site. eDataTransfer(TM) will enable
our current and future parts customers to upload their entire
repair estimate and GreenLeaf will display the complete results for
all available parts in inventory," continued Mr. Milligan. "This
will make getting quotes on the entire estimate a one-click process
and streamline the entire process for all users." "This agreement
with GreenLeaf will provide our clients with greater savings
generated by improved salvage parts utilization, where it is
appropriate," stated Eric Seidel, President/CEO of eAutoclaims.
"The new tools will also further automate our internal processing
of estimates for the eAutoclaims Managed Collision Repair Program
and eliminate the phone calls previously required to confirm parts
availability." In addition to the parts review by GreenLeaf, the
licensing of eAutoclaims technology is consistent with the
eAutoclaims strategy to provide value-added web-based applications
to service providers in the insurance industry. "eAutoclaims has
been using our proprietary EMS tools in our production environment
for quite sometime now. The technology has evolved and we and our
clients have derived great value from this product. Providing a
license to GreenLeaf for parts procurement is a natural extension
of our ASP sales and the impact to the industry is expected to be
meaningful." Seidel continued, "The people at GreenLeaf are
committed to providing collision shops and carriers with value
added technology to improve efficiencies, reduce cycle time and
reduce indemnity expenses." GreenLeaf Auto Recyclers has one of the
most advanced call centers, automated parts estimate review, and
proprietary web-based parts quoting process in the industry. By
combining superior technology with exceptional customer service, we
make the task of locating and pricing quality salvage parts easier
