  • Patent number: 11954100
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automating the process of mapping repair documents, published by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), to repair information provided in a repair estimate record. A baseline set of repair estimate records specifying one or more parts of a baseline vehicle and an associated set of repair documents specifying instructions for repairing the one or more parts of the baseline vehicle may be saved using a data categorization model in a mapping dataset. The repair documents associated with baseline set of repair estimate records which have been saved in the mapping dataset may then be used to automatically determine associations between another set of repair estimate records and corresponding repair documents.
