Patent number: 11164261Abstract: Aspects of the invention include methods and systems for a vehicle insurance claim management application which improves communication and streamline tasks between a vehicle repair shop and an insurance company system in three general task groups: assignment (comprising work requests, estimates/photos, and reinspections), financial management, and performance measurement. Aspects of the invention also provide interoperability with different types of estimating systems that do not necessarily follow an industry standard. This interoperability is provided through an adapter module with a claim processing system to communicate with the insurance company system and the vehicle insurance claim management application. The invention is preferably accessed by a user over a computer network such as the Internet, from a remote location such as a vehicle repair shop.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Randall Martin Hanson, Raj Albert Upadhyaya, Srinivas Reddy Gangaram, Erika Ann Wales
