Mitchell International has acquired ClaimTools, creators of a digital camera and photo management solution based in Vancouver, Canada. The ClaimTools solution combines bar code stickers and a wireless digital camera with software that largely automates the process of offloading photos from the camera and storing them in a clearly labelled location on the local computer. The software can save Collision Repairers 10 to 30 minutes per repair order by eliminating the time consuming, manual process of managing digital photos, which may in turn reduce cycle times. The photo management technology will become an integral part of Mitchell's new RepairCenter workspace which Mitchell will unveil at NACE 2009. (LB)
