What Mitchell does and where it stops

Mitchell Cloud Estimating handles estimate writing, OEM repair procedure linking, parts pricing, and carrier integration. It is a strong estimating tool. It does not track supplements after submission, age pending approvals per carrier, run a branded customer portal, or draft adjuster emails. Those gaps accumulate into real revenue leakage over a month of claim volume.

What Claimory adds after the estimate is written

Supplement aging with per-carrier thresholds and overdue flags. Branded customer portal delivered by QR code on drop-off. Claim Audit that reads your estimate and flags missed line items before the car leaves teardown. Gmail and Outlook OAuth for adjuster email on the claim record. Cycle time dashboard with per-stage aging and bottleneck visibility. DRP scorecard tracking so your metrics are never a surprise.

Running Claimory alongside Mitchell

Keep Mitchell for estimates. Export estimate XML and import into Claimory in one step. Every supplement, every adjuster email, every customer update, and every photo from that point lives on one claim record until the carrier pays. Mitchell's estimating quality stays. You stop losing the work that happens around it.

Five supporting pillars

  • Mitchell Cloud Estimating writes the estimate. Claimory runs the claim from the moment that estimate is complete: supplements, adjuster follow-up, customer portal, cycle time, DRP scorecards, and final payment.
  • Shops on Mitchell already have a proven estimating foundation. The operational gaps show up after the estimate: aging supplements, unanswered adjuster emails, status calls the office manager keeps fielding, and DRP scorecards declining quietly.
  • Claimory imports Mitchell estimate XML in one click and runs the full operational layer around it, no double-entry, no spreadsheet bridging the gap.
