  • Publication number: 20140088866
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the invention relate to identifying a repair facility for a vehicle and scheduling a repair for the vehicle while minimizing a downtime of the vehicle. Embodiments of the invention include receiving a route of a vehicle and a repair via a request for a repair. Based on the request for a repair, an evaluation component can identify a repair facility that can handle or perform the repair defined as well as be within proximity of the vehicle. A repair component can assign a repair facility to the vehicle based on a capability of performing or handling the repair, a geographic distance from the vehicle, or an inventory of parts for the repair.

  • Publication number: 20140089054
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the invention relate to forecasting a projected cost for at least repair associated with one or more assets. Based on evaluation of a portion of historic repair data for the one or more assets, a forecast component can create a projected cost to perform a repair. A cost component can aggregate or receive a portion of historic data related to repair costs previously performed. The cost component can further ascertain a repair cost per duration of time for an asset. Based on at least one of the portion of historic data or the repair cost per duration of time, the forecast component can indicate a projected cost for at least one repair for one or more assets.

  • Publication number: 20140012748
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the invention relate to utilizing an indicia for a part to identify a repair code related to a repair. Embodiments of the present invention include an identify component that corresponds the indicia to a repair code with a Car Repair Billing (CRB), wherein the indicia is linked to a repair code to a part by a link component. The part and included indicia can be utilized to identify at least one repair code for the part rather than manually identifying a related repair code for the part.
