National Press Release

SAN DIEGO, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Audatex North America, Inc., a leading provider of software and services for the automotive claims processing industry, today introduced AudaUpdate(TM), an automated online data delivery service that will help insurers and collision repairers save time and ensure the accuracy of collision repair estimates.

Users of Audatex's estimating solution, Audatex Estimating(TM), can leverage AudaUpdate to receive the latest data on vehicle part prices and labor times up to two weeks faster than with traditional DVD-based methods. With the most up-to-date data, Audatex Estimating users will improve the accuracy of their initial estimates and reduce the frequency of supplements written.

AudaUpdate can be scheduled to automatically update users' systems with the latest data, eliminating the need to use DVDs to manually update all of the computers or servers on which they store vehicle part price and labor data.

Sue Harner, an estimator at Bob Steele Chevrolet in Cocoa, Florida, said, "I'm very pleased with the ease of use of the automatic updates. Automatic updates allow the system to stay current with little to no effort on our part. The automatic updates keep the system current all month, not just every 45 days or so when we would normally do a DVD update...I no longer have to come in early, stay late or disturb the estimators during the normal working day by asking them to get out of the system so I can do the update. I'm very pleased and highly recommend it to everyone."

"We're constantly looking for ways to help Audatex users streamline their processes and provide outstanding service to their customers," said John Kotsopoulos, managing director of Audatex for North America. "AudaUpdate does just that by eliminating the need for DVD-based data updates and helping ensure the accuracy of estimates."
