eAutoclaims Technology Selected by United Automobile Insurance
Company OLDSMAR, Fla., June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
eAutoclaims (OTC:EACC) (BULLETIN BOARD: EACC) , a leading provider
of online claims management technology to the automobile insurance
industry, announced that United Automobile Insurance Company (UAIC)
has selected the eJusterSuite and other eAutoclaims technology to
further automate and streamline the North Miami Beach claims
operation. United Automobile's adjusters, dispatchers, and field
appraisers will use eJusterSuite(R), eAutoclaims' online claims
management applications, to make appraisal assignments, track the
progress and status of the appraisal, and communicate with the
appraisal source. Managers will have real-time access of metrics to
measure the performance and results that include cycle time, loss
adjustment expense, average paid loss and several other reporting
tools to improve the quality and timeliness of UAIC management's
information. Beau Parrillo, VP of United Automobile Insurance
Company, commented, "We evaluated and tested other technology
available in the industry and found the eAutoclaims solution to be
superior. We are able to configure eAutoclaims' suite of products
to meet our unique needs while delivering measurable value
throughout the process. Using eJusterSuite(R) will decrease our
cycle time from first notice of loss to final settlement of the
claim while gathering critical data to further improve our end
results. Our customers will benefit from the expedited processing
while United Automobile will see a material improvement in the
overall efficiency of our claims operation. The integration with
eAutoclaims was much easier than I anticipated. We relied greatly
on the experience of eAutoclaims' IT staff to guide us through the
process of creating the XML transfer of data between our systems.
eAutoclaims also arranged for us to speak with other eAutoclaims
clients using the AS400 system who have successfully integrated
with eAutoclaims' suite of products. We are excited to establish
this relationship with eAutoclaims and look forward to the
long-term benefits their solution can deliver." Eric Seidel,
eAutoclaims President and CEO, commented, "United Automobile
Insurance Company is a perfect example of how the eJusterSuite(R)
and eDataTransfer(R) technology we have developed can directly
benefit auto insurance carriers. By having all appraisers upload
estimates to eAutoclaims in EMS format, United will have immediate
feedback on the quality of each estimate to ensure compliance with
their writing guidelines. Our solutions are proven and mature, as
we were one of the first companies to offer an online claims
processing solution and have now been processing claims online for
nearly five years." United Automobile and eAutoclaims built a
bridge between United Automobile's proprietary system and
eJusterSuite(R) to eliminate any redundant keystrokes and to allow
all United associates anywhere in the country to access the
claims-related information the moment it is uploaded to
eJusterSuite(R). United has already commenced processing the
majority of their claims using the new integrated system provided
by eAutoclaims and is expected to switch all claims being processed
over the next 45 days. About eAutoclaims eAutoclaims (OTC:EACC)
