Audit-ready claim timeline for collision repair shops

DRP audits do not fail because the work was bad. They fail because the documentation was missing. Claimory logs every action on every claim in an append-only timeline with user attribution and timestamps. Photo milestones, supplement paper trails, adjuster threads, authorization signatures, and cycle time by stage are all there by default, no extra steps required. When State Farm Select Service, GEICO ARX, or Progressive DRN sends an audit request, the answer is one export. Plans from $49 per location per month. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.

What carriers actually look for in a DRP audit

State Farm Select Service audits focus on photo compliance (before and after every stage), supplement authorization dates, cycle time variance from estimate to actual delivery, and CSI follow-through. GEICO ARX looks at supplement turnaround time, adjuster communication logs, and whether teardown was completed before first contact. Progressive DRN scores photo uploads, supplement aging, and customer communication timeliness. The common thread across all major carrier programs is documentation: if the action happened and was not logged with a timestamp, it is treated as if it did not happen.

How Claimory's timeline is different from a paper trail

A paper trail is what you reconstruct after the fact. Claimory's claim timeline builds in real time as work happens. The office manager captures intake, the clock starts. The tech uploads teardown photos, the timestamp logs. The estimator submits a supplement, the adjuster thread starts, every reply is appended. The manager moves the claim to paint, the stage clock starts. QC passes, the customer is notified, the deductible posts. Every event is appended to the timeline in order, no editing, no deleting. When an auditor requests documentation, every event is already in sequence with the user who triggered it.

Supplement paper trail: from creation to carrier payment

Carriers audit supplements harder than anything else on a DRP program. They want to see: when was the supplement created, what photos supported it, when was it submitted, what did the adjuster say, when was it approved or denied, what was the final agreed amount. Claimory captures every one of these data points in order on the claim record. The supplement thread includes the initial line items, the supporting photos, the adjuster email thread, any revisions, and the final approved amount. Nothing lives in an email inbox or a sticky note. When the carrier asks, the answer is there.

DRP scorecard tracking before the warning email

Most shops learn their DRP scorecard is slipping when the carrier sends a performance warning. By then, the volume has already dropped, or the review is already scheduled. Claimory tracks photo compliance, cycle time, supplement turnaround, and CSI scores in real time per carrier. If photo compliance drops below 90 percent for State Farm, the dashboard shows it the week it happens. The manager corrects the behavior before it becomes a scorecard item. No quarterly surprises, no reactive scrambles.

Five supporting pillars

  • Append-only activity log: every action on every claim is recorded with user name, timestamp, and context. Nobody can delete a line. The record is what it is.
  • Photo milestones timestamped: intake, teardown, blend, final photos each logged the moment they are uploaded, visible to auditors on demand.
  • Supplement paper trail by default: every supplement created, submitted, revised, and paid is captured in order on the claim timeline, with the adjuster thread attached.
  • Cycle time by stage for every claim: keys-in, teardown, parts ordered, parts received, body, paint, QC, keys-out. Every stage has a start and end timestamp.
  • DRP scorecard tracking in real time: photo compliance, cycle time, supplement turnaround, CSI by carrier. See a drop the week it happens, not the quarter the carrier flags it.

Common questions

What does an audit-ready timeline mean for my shop?

It means every piece of documentation carriers ask for during a DRP audit, which is photo compliance, supplement paper trail, adjuster communication logs, and cycle time by stage, is already collected and timestamped as work happens. You do not scramble to reconstruct records when an audit request arrives.

Can someone delete or edit a claim record after the fact?

No. The claim activity log is append-only. Every action is logged with the user who triggered it and the timestamp it happened. No entries can be deleted or edited. This is the same record a DRP carrier or attorney would see.

Which DRP programs does Claimory support?

Claimory's DRP scorecard tracking covers State Farm Select Service, GEICO ARX, Allstate Good Hands, Progressive DRN, USAA STARS, Farmers Circle of Dependability, and 80-plus regional carriers. The carrier directory is pre-loaded. No manual setup required.

How does Claimory help me catch a DRP scorecard drop before the carrier notices?

Claimory tracks photo compliance, cycle time, supplement turnaround, and CSI scores per carrier in real time. If any metric drops below your threshold, the dashboard surfaces it the week it happens. Most shops on Claimory correct a scorecard dip before it becomes a performance warning.
