Vehicle buyer and seller marketplace IAA and claims management technology company Snapsheet say their new integrated partnership will reduce the time insurance carriers take to process claims for total loss vehicles.

The companies say the integration combines IAA’s total loss claims and salvage services with Snapsheet’s configurable claims management platform.

The news marks what the companies say is the industry’s first full integration of total loss claims processing and salvage management technology.

The integration will create “one seamless solution,” from first notice of loss to sale at auction, the companies said.

They add that because the integration automates the exchange of information and the control of activities across all parties — including customers, repairers, tow yards and salvage companies — that allows insurers to move through the total loss claim end-to-end with little-to-no manual process.

Snapsheet says its focus on digitization and intelligent automation allows it to provide technology and processes to “improve customer engagement, provide organizational agility and deliver transformational benefits through a range of cloud-native solutions in claims management, virtual appraisals, digital payments, and rental and fleet management.”

“We are thrilled to partner with IAA, a leader in salvage auctions, to provide faster claims processing to the industry,” Snapsheet chief executive officer and co-founder Brad Weisberg said in a news release.

Weisberg added, “Partnering with IAA advances our commitment to delivering the best claims experience and results to our growing client base.”

“IAA’s integration with Snapsheet’s industry-leading platform aligns perfectly with our focus on leading the industry in innovation that streamlines the total loss claims process for our sellers,” said IAA chief executive officer and president John Kett.

Kett continued, “Snapsheet’s cloud-based technology intelligently automates workflows in one end-to-end platform, greatly reducing total loss claims processing time.”
