SAN DIEGO, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AudaExplore, a
business unit of Solera Holdings, Inc. ("Solera") and a leading
provider of software and technology solutions for collision repair
and automotive insurance industries, announced today that it has
signed an integration agreement to receive MyPriceLink dynamic part
pricing data from General Motors beginning on December 1, 2015.
MyPriceLink is the new real-time pricing initiative that
replaces GM's monthly static price tape for its collision parts
portfolio. The application was successfully piloted by
collision repairers and insurers using AudaExplore's estimating
platform beginning in July 2015. As a result of this
agreement, AudaExplore users will have a seamless workflow
experience when writing estimates for Genuine GM Parts.
"A year ago the industry asked General Motors to engage
collision industry stakeholders in an effort to collaborate and
integrate into our design of MyPriceLink. AudaExplore stepped
right up….and we are very pleased they collaborated during
this entire period; taking into account the needs of their
customers, providing valuable technical assistance to the program,
with the end goal being a seamless workflow solution for their
customers on the AudaExplore estimating platform. It's fully
integrated into the GM MyPriceLink system," said Kris Mayer,
General Director, Wholesale Channel, Customer Care &
Aftersales, General Motors Corporation.
The agreement makes AudaExplore one of a limited number of GM
partners with an approved integrated solution with
MyPriceLink. As such, AudaExplore's clients will be among the
first to receive the dynamic pricing data at the initial launch of
General Motors' new MyPriceLink application.
"This agreement demonstrates our commitment to provide
AudaExplore clients with the most current technology available, and
reinforces the strong relationships that Solera business units
maintain with OEMs," said Gary
Gumushian, Vice President of the Solera Global Automotive
Center.
The integration of MyPriceLink minimizes workflow disruptions
throughout the entire collision process. For collision repairers
using the AudaExplore platform, the MyPriceLink integration will be
seamless, and shops and insurers will continue to write estimates
in the manner to which they are accustomed. Shops and
insurers, who are not working with one of the major estimating
systems providing the integrated solution, will need to visit the
MyPriceLink portal itself or call dealerships for part price
quotes.
"We have been testing the AudaExplore solution in our
stores in the pilot market since July 22nd. The solution has
proven to work seamlessly and we believe the integrated MyPriceLink
workflow will benefit our operation by reducing part price
discrepancies between systems," said Ken
Lanier, Market Vice President – Colorado, ABRA® Auto Body & Glass.
