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 purpose of this report is to begin committee work on the formats needed to allow repair orders in the collision repair industry, and to define the messages and data elements necessary for the communication. We are asking for responses and feedback from insurance carriers, repairers, rental providers, business management systems, third party intermediaries and software companies regarding all communications needed to complete the communication of repair orders within the collision industry.
The emphasis is to improve customer service in the repair process, being stressed by all segments of the industry.
Mission
CIECA’s Repair Order Committee’s goal is to develop and maintain messaging standards aimed at the repair order between business partners and repair facilities in the collision industry. Also included in this effort will be the development of messages that can be used to transfer data from one management system to another. This development will create the tools for participants to enable bi-directional communication of data and messaging capability between all parties.
Repair facilities demand a more efficient and convenient process when processing repair orders to an individual business management system, or as an integration of a multiple shop organization. Setting standards is an important step toward this goal.
