Problem

  • Customers are often left in the dark when it comes to the status of their vehicle repair after submitting a claim.
  • There's a lot of "he said, she said" between mechanics and insurers meanwhile you're just wondering when you will get your car back.

Our Purpose

V-STAT creates transparency and efficiency by bringing all parties together on a single platform to communicate and post updates about the repair process.

How do we do it?

  • We've built a system that allows insurers to post tickets with a vehicles case number and pertinent details.
  • Mechanics can view these tickets when assigned, and fill create a simple task list that entails what repairs need to be done on this vehicle. As the mechanic completes the repairs they can move these tasks to a completed status, which keeps insurers and customers up to date with the STATus of this Vehicle.
  • There's also a comment thread where any party can drop questions/concerns on this ticket view page. This allows all three parties to communicate in the same space so that no one is left behind.

Outcomes

  • There is total transparency during the repair process - mission accomplished!
  • Decreases time-in-shop by holding mechanics accountable for the vehicle task list
  • Increases customer satisfaction by including them in the conversation and giving updates every step of the way.

Technologies Used

MySql, Express, React, Node, Sequelize, Passport, React-Bootstrap

Future goals

  • Email/text push notifications to update all parties when the status of their ticket(s) have changed.
  • Picture upload feature to visually show customers the progress made on their vehicle
