Workfile Transfer Enhancements Serve as Foundation For Release of CCC Pathways(R) 4.3; New Auto Workfile Entry targets expeditio

Business Wire
Re-keying estimate information affects more than 28 percent of the
9 million estimates written every year. This resulted in a negative
impact on the collision repair industry to the tune of an estimated
$17.5 million(1) in 2004. As part of the enhancements in the
release of CCC Pathways 4.3, CCC Information Services Inc. has
developed an Auto Workfile Entry functionality - the first to
broadly address the issue. CCC Information Services Inc. is a
wholly owned subsidiary of CCC Information Services Group Inc.
(NASDAQ:CCCG). Instead of transferring data by printing a hard copy
of the estimate and re-keying it to another PC or location -
creating another step and opening up the potential for re-keying
errors, users can now copy and send existing workfiles from one CCC
Pathways unit to another either via e-mail, disc/flash drive or a
shared network drive. "Adding the Auto Workfile Entry function into
CCC Pathways 4.3 gives repairers the ability to maintain a smooth
flow of information with other appraisal sources," said Jim
Dickens, senior vice president at CCC Information Services. "The
addition of this feature is an extension of CCC's work with
repairers in developing a logical and efficient set of electronic
tools." Another key efficiency realized through CCC Pathways 4.3 is
the ability to access fully integrated solutions that focus on
virtually every step in the repair process, eliminating the need
for toggling back and forth between multiple software solutions.
Some of the products include: -- CCC Accumark(TM) Advisor, which
enables users to perform a preliminary estimate audit using user-
specified guidelines; -- CCC Production Assistant(TM), a shop
management solution, which targets the automation of the repair
process with features, such as parts ordering, repair status and
operational reporting; -- Repair Management Dispatch, which helps
dispatch management by increasing capture-rates through features,
such as assignment tracking and load leveling. Other new features
found in CCC Pathways 4.3 include automatic model-year updating for
the recycled parts display, a "Centralized Location" functionality
that lets Recycled Parts Services users specify a mileage radius
when searching for suppliers, and a maximum file size function.
