ARCS - More Intelligent Thatcham Estimating
ARCS is the most comprehensive, user-friendly, Thatcham estimating system on the market, focusing on accuracy, ensuring more “right first time” estimates are produced. Supporting the entire Thatcham library, 'Green' and 'White' books, as well as the Thatcham Time System (TTS) and Thatcham Parts System (TPS) databases, ARCS covers over 600 cars and light vans, covering well in excess of 95% of cars on the road.
ARCS features include:
· What-if - this facility, unique to ARCS, allows the comparison of various repair methods so users can decide whether renewing parts would be better than repairing them.
· Agree-it - enables automated estimate authorisation between repairers and work providers, avoiding excessive telephone dialogue and guaranteeing greater efficiency and security to the process.
· Arcade avoids overly complicated administration and scheduling, and provides all paperwork facilities, simply and easily. Arcade covers parts ordering, parts receiving, job-cards, event-tracking/work-in-progress recording and invoicing with a sales ledger.
· ARCSLITE is a hand-held ‘notebook PC’ option for staff engineers or estimators that is completely portable and fully comprehensive.
· “Typical Damage”
· Integrated communications enabling direct and fast data transmission between all parties via the Highway (the ARCS electronic communication system).
· Frequent updates on CD.
· Estimate information can be exported to the majority of bodyshop management and accounting/administrative systems.
ARCS 3D - A new dimension in Auto Repair Costing.
Simple, user-friendly and flexible, ARCS 3D uses 3D modelling to identify vehicle parts in high detail, providing clear computer generated vehicle images, enabling estimators and repairers to produce faster, more accurate estimates. New parts can be selected and costed with increased accuracy, reducing paperwork and overall cost.
Created using an innovative 3D graphics crash repair parts database developed by Thatcham, ARCS 3D, is the first estimating system of this kind to appear throughout the world. ARCS 3D is set to revolutionise the crash repair industry with more precise selection and pricing of parts at the beginning of the process. It can’t be long before yet another ARCS Estimating Systems innovation is recognised as setting the standards for the future of auto repair estimating.
