The only logical response to rising costs of materials and prices is to in turn increase rates that govern reimbursement for those materials. However more often than not body materials rates and paint materials rates put on by shops are not paid by insurance companies. At the end of the day all these rates are ultimately arbitrary, at best they are a guesstimate of what is actually being used and what it actually costs, so when rates are not honored ultimately the burden of proof remains on the repair facility. Why should increased rates be paid? How is the insurer or the vehicle owner to know what the actual costs of materials used is? Instead of billing by these arbitrary methods, EagleMMS allows techs to scan itemized amounts of materials used per repair order and invoices are automatically generated with the shop owners or administrators choice of markup, and whether those markups are to appear on the invoice is entirely the choice of the shop.

This allows for much better arbitration between appraisers of the repair facility and the insurance adjuster managing the claim, because you have time-stamped log of the scanning tech, what the scanned, how much of it, the unit price, the quantity and the total as well as any comments the scanning technician may have left. Documentation is the most powerful tool in the assessment and reimbursal of a claim and EagleMMS automatically generates these documents for you based on technician checkouts and reporting.
