It takes a job from the moment a damaged vehicle arrives through to the invoice being paid, in one place. Estimating A repairer photographs the damage and a detailed, itemised estimate comes back — remove and refit, repair, paint, parts, sublets and other charges, each line with hours, rates and amounts applied. Estimates arrive structured the way an assessor expects to read them, section by section with running totals. What previously took an estimator forty minutes takes minutes. The estimator's role shifts from building a quote line by line to reviewing one, adjusting what needs adjusting, and moving on to the next car. For a shop quoting fifty jobs a week, that is the difference between estimating being the bottleneck and estimating being a step. Rates follow the insurer on the job rather than being set shop-wide, because the same repairer works to different rates for different insurers. Industry times schedules are applied where they apply, so quotes arrive in the form the receiving assessor expects rather than something they have to translate. Capturing the job Photographs can be taken on a phone and land straight on the job — no cable, no card reader, no emailing images to yourself. Photos are organised by category, so vehicle damage, pre-existing damage, supplementary work, repair progress and completion are kept apart rather than in one undifferentiated pile. A repairer can also film a walkaround of the vehicle and describe the damage aloud while filming. The recording becomes part of the job. Dealing with insurers Estimates are sent directly to the insurer. When the assessment comes back, every line shows as approved, queried or rejected, so a repairer can see at a glance what was accepted and what needs revisiting, rather than reading a PDF and cross-referencing by hand. Supplementary estimates are raised against the original job and tracked alongside it, so the full history of a repair stays together. Before the job starts Market valuation and write-off risk are shown against the repair cost, so a repairer can see where a job sits against the threshold before committing time to it. Manufacturer repair procedures for the panels on the job are available, so the method used is documented and defensible if it is ever questioned. Running the workshop Job tasks, a workshop calendar, a live workshop board, team planning and parts tracking. Invoicing with payment tracking. Reporting on what has been quoted, authorised and invoiced. Talking to customers SMS updates so the shop is not fielding calls asking where a car is up to, and a photo gallery the vehicle owner can view showing the work as it progresses. Built for the people using it Autoimate was built by people from the smash repair trade, not adapted from generic job management software. The workflow follows how a repairer actually works: quote, send, assess, supplement, repair, invoice. Terminology is the trade's own. It runs in a browser with nothing to install, and on a phone in the workshop where the cars are. Security and data Autoimate is ISO/IEC 27001 certified. Customer and vehicle data is held in Australia. Show More When users leave Autoimate reviews, G2 also collects common questions about the day-to-day use of Autoimate.
