Insurance claims specialist, Inter-est, have released software for taking, attaching, transmitting and managing images of damaged vehicles. Inter-est say the software will make the processes easier.

The solutions include two apps for Smartphones, which are avalible for Android or Apple applications: Driver-cam and Repair-cam.

Jeff Manricks, UK Head of sales and business development at Inter-est explained: “With Driver-cam, everything is simple: the owner just inputs information, and captures photos of the damage, via a Smartphone. Once the data is transmitted, the vehicle is already on its way to the next stage: analysing costs. There's no need for repairers to visit just to grab images. Repair-cam gives bodyshops the flexibility - and economies - of working wherever suits them (or the owner) most. Now they have the choice of capturing images efficiently."

Both Driver-cam and Repair-cam are available as apps, free to download on Android or Apple. The charge for usage is £1.50 to use either or both on a job.

Inter-est have also launched Inter-view, which they say makes it easy to include images from Driver-cam or other Inter-est sources into estimates processed on all major systems used in the UK.

"Inter-view brings greater freedom than ever before. Inter-view can be used with any estimating or bodyshop management system.” said Manricks.

Inter-view is available now, and free-to-use.
