Allstate, a trusted leader in insurance, continues to reinvent industry standards by leveraging technology to enhance the claims experience for its customers. In the case of repairable drivable claims, Allstate redesigned the repair appointment booking process by incorporating CCC® Shop Scheduling into its workflow, enabling over 80% of customers to book a repair appointment within one day. Further, Allstate improved cycle time by 14%, compared to the industry average, in just one year.Shop Scheduling connects Allstate and its consumers with thousands of repair facilities in the Allstate Good Hands Network and beyond. The experience gives drivers the ability to curate participating repair facilities from throughout the Allstate network, displays real-time availability to Allstate representatives, and allows consumers to book a repair appointment earlier in the claims process, saving time and expenses and producing customer satisfaction scores that rank near the top of the industry at 9.7/10.
As vehicle complexity and the cost to repair vehicles are on the rise, innovations allow Allstate to elevate the customer experience while simultaneously reducing cycle time by eliminating delays associated with booking repairs. And, given a powerful partnership with their Good Hands Network repair facilities, Allstate wanted to improve efficiency for these critical partners by simplifying repair appointment scheduling.
Allstate was an early adopter of CCC Shop Scheduling, which integrates available estimate and repair appointment times into insurer and consumer mobile workflows. Further, Allstate was the first carrier to implement the repair appointments feature of this solution.The technology leverages CCC’s connection with more than 26,000 repair facilities on the CCC ONE platform. Shops within Allstate’s Good Hands Network configure their CCC ONE platform to show open availability for repair appointments.Because of the integrated systems, Allstate FNOL reps can search for local repair facilities based on several filtering options — including customer preference — ensuring the best possible outcome for all parties. Once a shop is identified, available repair appointment days and times are viewable by the Allstate representative.The Allstate FNOL rep then books an appointment based on customer preference.
