Over the past 12 months, virtually all businesses, including repair facilities, have focused on two areas: safety and savings.
For collision repairers, safety in the shop has likely always been a concern, but recent events have amplified the need to find new ways to keep customers and staff safe. It’s not only the right thing to do, it’s also a business necessity. Customers need to feel comfortable enough to bring their vehicles in for repair. Shops everywhere are implementing rigorous disinfection procedures for cars and waiting areas.

While business has picked up again for many shops, and the year-over-year decline in CCC-processed repair claims in June was 25% less severe than the decline in May, we know 2020 was a difficult year for the industry.

Best of all, the Clearent processing solution is integrated with CCC® Repair Workflow to give facilities better accounting control.To learn more about the CCC integration and how the Clearent solution can deliver peace of mind, visit our CCC® Payments page.*Source: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/general-business-faq.html
