Nora Chambers of Randy's Customs Auto Collision Center in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., was awarded a new Smart Car at the Audatex booth. The drawing capped a week in which Audatex marked the successful North American debut of AudaNet, its intelligent, next-generation claims and collision repair platform.

The company also showcased a range of updated, new and forthcoming AudaNet products. The AudaNet Platform will again be featured at this week's SEMA Show Oct. 30 to Nov. 2 in Las Vegas.

"From a high-impact mobile focus to our exclusive 3-D graphics and advanced vehicle identification, our complete family of AudaNet solutions are designed from the ground up to help collision repair shops and insurers put customers first and take their businesses to the next level," said Wolfgang Ahrens, managing director of Audatex U.S. "AudaNet drives customer satisfaction by streamlining and enriching the entire claim and repair lifecycle - from the first moment a collision occurs, through appraisal, repair and until that claim is settled."

Built on technology successfully used for years throughout Europe and Asia, AudaNet is being optimized for the North American market to seamlessly connect insurers, independent appraisers, repair shops and vehicle owners, and will serve as the technology platform upon which Audatex's U.S. claims and collision repair solutions will be built, offered and delivered.

Among the new AudaNet solutions slated to be on display at SEMA is AudaNet Xpert Estimating, the company's flagship estimating product, in which the company is investing significantly to increase ease of use, accuracy and efficiency when creating damage or total loss appraisals. Upgrades include an intelligent and predictive vehicle search capability that allows users to quickly identify desired vehicles simply by typing in a description.

AudaNet Xpert Estimating also now offers new intelligent 3-D graphics features that enable estimators to quickly locate the right parts. Other updated features include holistic representations of vehicle interiors and exteriors, the capability to dynamically display vehicle changes depending on selected options, and specialized zones for quick access to special parts groupings, such as glass, electronics or airbags.

AudaNet Xpert Estimating also incorporates AudaVIN, which provides complete "vehicle DNA" information – including regular production option (RPO) details – direct from and fully integrated with the auto manufacturers themselves.

More information on the complete AudaNet Platform including a high-impact video, detailed collateral and other materials is available on the AudaNet microsite at www.audanet.us.
