Background

The purpose of this committee is to define business information passing between parties as it relates to the collision repair and related industries. We are asking for responses and feedback from the industry at-large relative to the work the committee has done to date, and to emphasize the importance of continued work in this area.

The first objective will be to develop a single focus of the committee’s scope, objectives and goals. It is evident that a framework has already begun that can drive future progress, and success will be dependent upon an expanded active participation.

The objective is to electronically exchange messages and receiving CSI survey assignment with other parties, creating efficiencies in the process.

The emphasis is on improving customer service in the CSI surveying process being stressed by all segments of the industry.

Mission

The mission of the CIECA Glass Committee is to develop standards to electronically exchange data between parties involved in business segments associated with the auto glass replacement industry. This development will create the tools for participants to enable bi-directional communication of data and messaging capability between all parties.

The Glass Committee is chartered with developing electronic business standards that can be adopted and implemented by auto glass replacement companies, insurance carriers, third party administrators, suppliers, consumers, and related collision industry members and their associations.

The Glass Committee will follow the standards of CIECA Architecture Committee’s BMS (Business Message Specification) to develop electronic transactions based upon XML message formats.
