June 23, 2016—CCC Information Services Inc. announced Wednesday that it has created an electronic interface between its CCC ONE Repair Workflow shop management software and Wurth’s SIS invoicing and inventory management software.
The interface will automatically and electronically import the Wurth supplies used for repairs into the appropriate CCC ONE repair order.
“Repairers are busy and have a lot of moving parts to manage at any given time,” David Gibson, national sales manager at Wurth USA, said. “Recording all of the on-hand supplies used while repairing a vehicle can be cumbersome and imperfect, which often results in inaccurate job costing, and inefficient workflows. By creating an interface between Wurth USA and CCC’s industry-leading software, repairers can better manage their time while making sure they account for the supplies they use.”
On-hand supplies, such as fasteners and clips, used in collision repairs account for $600 million annually in the U.S.
“We started working with Wurth USA a year ago to create more organization in how our on-hand materials are stored and accessed in our seven locations. When we learned Würth’s SIS software would be connected to CCC ONE we got onboard right away. We want to embrace any system that allows us to improve, and better serve the customer. This interface does just that. We’re writing more accurate estimates, more efficiently, and our job costing has improved. It’s a great use of technology,” Rich Tanchyk, assistant vice president at H&V Collision Center, said.
Bill Langley, CCC director of automotive network partnerships, said “CCC’s focus is on bringing together the tools and information repairers need to drive efficiency throughout the repair process. By creating interfaces with their suppliers, our repair customers can save time and create more accurate, complete estimates, while gaining better visibility and control over job costs.”
