This groundbreaking service aims to assist insurance and fleet companies in identifying, understanding, and controlling the emissions of their repair partners, thereby promoting sustainable practices across the industry.

The Future of Eco-Friendly Repairs

This service represents a significant advancement in the way vehicle repairs are managed, offering comprehensive analysis and valuable insights that enable informed and sustainable decision-making. The primary objective is to reduce the environmental impact of repair operations, aligning with the increasing environmental commitments and policies driven by customers, investors, and governments.

Cost Control: The service provides insights into repair cost reduction by offering calculations of CO2 impact, guiding more eco-friendly decision-making.

Service Features

Batch Calculation Model (Baseline Report): Allows bulk analysis of an insurer’s or fleet’s claim history, calculating the environmental impact of repairs and providing detailed insights on various aspects and segmentations (repairers, vehicle types, etc.).
