Staying ahead of industry trends and marketplace dynamics is critical to success, but it can be hard to keep up or even comprehend how all of the pieces fit together. CCC Information Services is helping to make sense of it all, extending its sought after Crash Course report to include an infographic and a live webinar series. Crash Course, an in-depth report that focuses on the factors driving auto collision repair and total loss costs, is compiled using research and information from a wide range of sources and an aggregated set of data from CCC’s data warehouse, which includes approximately 140 million claims worth of information.
“The auto physical damage industry continues to move quickly as weather patterns, regulatory factors, advancements in technology and consumer preferences for products and services evolve and converge,” said Susanna Gotsch, lead analyst for CCC. “This year’s report looks at these factors individually and together to help provide perspective on the overarching impact they are, and will continue to have, on our industry. We’re excited to extend the information reported on in Crash Course to other formats, which we hope will provide a more comprehensive view of the broader marketplace for collision repairers, insurance carriers, parts suppliers and other industry participants.”
Gotch spoke with ABRN about the Crash Report. Watch her comments here.
