Car-Part.com, CCC Information Services To Provide Recycled-Parts Data – Brief Article
Car-Part.com and CCC Information Services Inc. said they were forming a strategic relationship that will make data on millions of recycled automobile parts instantly available to appraisers in collision repair facilities, insurance companies and independent appraisal firms as they write their repair estimates.
Under the agreement, Car-Part.com – the first company to help auto recyclers sell parts on the Internet via searchable inventory – will provide recycled parts data to CCC, a supplier of information and technology solutions to the automotive claims and collision repair industries.
CCC’s Pathways collision estimating product will deliver the data – including condition, location, availability, brand and price of the recycled product – to end users through its integrated Recycled Parts Services (RPS) feature, the company said. With the parts inventory information at their fingertips, collision repair facilities, insurance adjusters and independent appraisers can incorporate accurate repair parts information into their estimates faster and easier.
“Recycled parts information is of critical importance to our customers,” said J. Laurence Costin, vice chairman of CCC Information Services Inc. “By working with Car-Part.com, CCC can offer the industry immediate electronic accessibility to a larger base of recycled parts information, thereby providing one more way to accelerate the process of getting repairable vehicles back on the road.”
The affiliation with CCC will enable Car-Part.com to broaden the visibility of the millions of parts maintained by its 1,300 auto recycler subscribers to the automotive claims market. “The integration of Car-Part.com’s database with CCC’s widely used Pathways collision estimating system brings us one step further in our goal of making it easier for the industry to use recycled parts,” said Jeffrey L. Schroder, president, Car-Part.com.
“This added visibility will enable our recycler clients across the country to turn their inventories faster than ever before.”
