CollisionCast: AI as a Second Set of Eyes: How Partly Aims to Streamline Collision Repair
In this episode, Partly founder and CEO Levi Fawcett explains how Partly is using a repair-specific AI model to help collision repair shops improve estimate accuracy, reduce administrative work, and make better parts procurement decisions.
Rather than replacing platforms such as CCC, PartsTrader, or CollisionLink, Partly works alongside them, analyzing estimates, OEM repair procedures, vehicle build data, and shop preferences to identify missed operations, parts, and documentation requirements.
Fawcett describes the platform as a "second set of eyes" that can assist with everything from blueprinting and supplement creation to parts basket optimization, photo annotation, and insurer communications.
