WESTCHESTER, Ill. -

Insurance Auto Auctions announced Wednesday the launch of a new feature for its CSAToday app for iOS.

The feature, Vehicle Assignment, is the first mobile vehicle assignment feature on an iOS device for the salvage industry, the company reported.

Vehicle Assignment allows customers of CSAToday “anywhere” access to begin an assignment with IAA while also improving its capabilities through GPS location.

“We focus on developing technology that best serves our customers, who are on-the-go and value flexibility and efficiency,” John Kett, IAA’s president and chief executive officer, said. “The mobile Vehicle Assignment feature further exemplifies IAA’s continued commitment to building innovative solutions for our customers.”

The Vehicle Assignment feature streamlines the process into a “five swipe” workflow – each of the five sections focuses on only required fields, which users swipe through to complete information on the seller, owner, vehicle, location and pickup. The feature also utilizes the iPhones camera for scanning VINs and its GPS for location entry. It can also use the phone’s dispersal tools, as well, including text, email, print and AirDrop.

CSAToday by IAA can be downloaded for free on your mobile device from the App Store.
