Artificial Intelligence-Powered Vehicle Inspection Apparatus Debuts in the United States
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, a new player is making waves in the automotive and insurance sectors - Click-Ins, an innovative AI-driven vehicle inspection platform. Headquartered in Israel with offices in Europe and Overland Park, KS, Click-Ins is poised to streamline workflows, reduce costs, and improve customer experiences for dealerships and insurance companies in the U.S.
Click-Ins works directly with four insurance companies in Europe and with insurance companies in Israel, and its services are now accessible to U.S. insurance companies and dealerships. The company is also in discussions with several top 10 U.S. insurance companies, although their names remain undisclosed due to non-disclosure agreements.
For dealerships, Click-Ins offers several significant benefits. Faster vehicle inspections are made possible through AI that automatically detects damages, defects, and maintenance issues. This expedites service approvals and vehicle repairs, helping dealerships to serve customers more efficiently. AI-enhanced technician notes translate technical inspection data into clear, customer-friendly language, fostering trust and driving faster repair approvals.
Digital vehicle inspections eliminate traditional scheduling overhead and reduce the need for physical inspections, saving time and lowering the chance of human error. Streamlined inspections and automated workflows also reduce operational burdens, enhance the efficiency of multi-location dealership management, and increase transparency in repair processes, enhancing customer satisfaction.
Insurance companies also stand to gain from Click-Ins' offerings. AI-driven virtual inspections deliver real-time vehicle condition visuals, accelerating claims processing from days or weeks to hours or minutes. This leads to faster approvals and vehicle repairs, ultimately benefiting policyholders.
Virtual inspections reduce costs by eliminating travel expenses, minimizing site visits, and lowering scheduling and staff time overhead—allowing insurance companies to manage higher claim volumes efficiently. The system integrates securely with existing warranty and claim management protocols, keeping sensitive data protected while automatically organizing inspection documents for easier claim evaluations.
AI supports precise incident reporting and claims triage, enabling insurers to quickly determine causation, liability, and damage severity. This reduces off-road times and lowers costs related to at-fault claims or recovery expenses. The technology also facilitates automated first notice of loss (FNOL) reporting, speeding up vehicle off-road time and allowing swift deployment of the right solutions, thus minimizing risks and improving claim outcomes.
Click-Ins' innovative approach, which uses smartphones for inspections, sets it apart from other companies that require dealership-based inspection tunnels. This makes it a more scalable solution. Companies such as UVeye provide similar services, but Click-Ins is seen as more scalable due to its smartphone-based inspection method.
The monetary value of fraudulent claims prevented by Click-Ins is currently difficult to determine as most of its insurance integrations have only gone through in the past six months. However, the potential for fraud prevention is significant, especially considering the technology's ability to document a loaner car's condition before and after it is given to a customer, and its use in the service department to protect dealerships from fraudulent damage claims.
Dealers could also use Click-Ins vehicle inspection technology to document a vehicle's condition when being leased and when it comes off lease. This could create opportunities to upsell customers on repairs based on damage that might not be easily seen.
In summary, Click-Ins' AI-driven vehicle inspection platform offers a transformative tool in the automotive and insurance industries in the U.S. By streamlining workflows, reducing costs, limiting fraud and errors, and providing a smoother, faster customer experience in vehicle servicing and claims handling, Click-Ins is set to revolutionise the way these industries operate.
