Built for paintless dent repair, not adapted from collision

Hail estimates your adjuster doesn't argue with.

Price every panel from your own severity matrix, document the damage line by line, run supplements that hold up, and pay the crew from the same numbers. One system from the lot to the invoice.

How PDR is priced

The dent count picks the band. It never multiplies a rate.

This is the single thing collision software gets wrong about hail, and the reason a translator industry exists. Drag the slider and watch the price move in steps — because a panel costs what it costs to fix.

rate × count, off the chart$550$01 dent250 dents
Moderate · 1630
$225.00

The count picks the band. It never multiplies a rate. The dashed line is what multiplying would do — by 200 dents it is asking forty times the price of five, which is not what the repair costs.

One record

The estimate becomes the repair order, the paycheck and the invoice.

Not four systems kept in step by hand. Scroll, and watch one RO carry its own figures from the lot to Paid.

  1. Vehicle in

    A VIN and a payment type is enough to start.

    Four steps at the car. The customer's name is optional — a nameless vehicle can be received, because on a catastrophe lot it routinely has to be. No placeholder is ever invented for it.

  2. Estimating

    Written on the car, priced from your matrix.

    Tap the panel, set the dent size, let the count pick the band. Sections come out in printing order with continuous line numbers you can cite over the phone.

  3. Sent

    The version of record locks.

    Once it goes out, it is the record. Changing the work from here is a supplement — with a reason code, and every line marked New or Changed against the version it replaces.

  4. In repair

    The crew works from the same record.

    A technician sees their panels and their money accruing, and nothing else. The panel table is a specification, not a checklist — there is no per-dent progress to tick.

  5. Invoiced

    Billed to whoever actually pays.

    A carrier, a dealer, a fleet or the customer — each with its own labor rate, tax treatment and terms. A whole account bills at once on a consolidated statement.

  6. Paid

    The car leaves the board when the money arrives.

    Not when it drives away. Payroll releases from the same figures the estimate carried, so what the technician is paid and what the carrier was billed can never drift apart.

Same record the whole way down. Nothing is re-typed into a second system, so there is no second system to disagree with.

Payroll

Pay the crew the way you actually pay them.

Change the compensation type, split the roof between two technicians, take the facility fee off. Every figure below is computed by the same function that pays a real technician — including the formula it shows its work with.

How this technician is paid

A percentage of the work, after the facility fee comes off.

Each technician is computed by their own type. Nobody's arrangement changes anybody else's, and the facility fee comes off the base before the split — never after.

Capabilities

Everything a hail operation runs on.

Priced from your matrix, not guesswork

Every panel prices from one severity matrix — panel × dent size × band. Dent count selects the band; it never multiplies a per-dent rate. Aluminum, glue pull, oversize and double-panel upcharges apply on top, and a flat price is always available when you've agreed one.

Documents an adjuster takes seriously

Estimate, invoice, repair authorization, photo damage sheet and a combined adjuster package. Every one carries your shop identity, license and tax ID, the estimate number and revision, who prepared it, your rates in force, the validity period and your warranty wording.

Supplements that hold up

A sent estimate locks as the version of record. Supplements carry a reason code, mark every line New or Changed against the version they replace, and compare side by side. Every save is checkpointed, so you can see what changed, who changed it, and put it back.

Evidence tied to the line it justifies

Photos attach to a specific estimate line, not a loose gallery. The damage sheet groups them under the line they document and tags them 6a, 6b so an adjuster can follow a figure to the photograph and back.

Pay the crew the way you actually pay them

Commission, hourly, flag hours, salary or per panel — each technician computed by their own type, so nobody's arrangement affects anyone else's. Split a single line between techs by percentage. The facility fee comes off the commissionable base before the split, not after.

Carriers, dealers, fleets and rental

Billing accounts carry their own labor rate, tax treatment, terms and approval threshold. The builder enforces that threshold before an estimate can go out, and consolidated statements bill a whole account at once.
Compared

What you're being asked to leave behind.

Hail work gets forced into software written for collision, or into a spreadsheet. Here is the difference, one product at a time — including the rows where they match us, and the ones we would lose.

Compared with
PDRHailHQ
CCC ONECollision estimating platform
  • Was it built for PDR?

    PDR is the product. Panels, dent sizes and severity bands are the primitives everything else is made of.
    PDR is a bolt-on matrix inside a collision estimating platform.
  • What does it cost to get a hail estimate into the carrier's format?

    Nothing extra, and no third party. The estimate is already written in the format the carrier receives.
    PDR work has to be translated into CCC format to be read as a carrier estimate — which is why a paid translation industry exists at all.
  • Can it pay a PDR technician?

    Five compensation types, each technician computed on their own, with per-line splits and the facility fee off the base before the split.
    It claims to do PDR, but it is not set up to pay a technician — you invoice them as a parts vendor.

Every claim here is one we can point at a source for, and the rows we lose are on the table too. Think one is out of date? Tell us and we'll correct it.

Security

Your pricing is yours.

Your matrix is the most commercially sensitive thing you own. Every record is isolated to your shop inside the database, not just in the application — which means an application bug cannot leak it either.

The query asked for everything and got three rows. The filter is a policy on the table, not a clause in the query — so code that forgot to scope, or a token used somewhere it shouldn't be, still cannot reach another shop's prices.

Row-level isolation

Every table is scoped to your organization inside the database, so a query can't reach another shop's rows even if the application asks it to.

Role-gated payroll

Compensation, org settings and pricing changes are restricted to owners and admins, enforced in the database as well as the interface.

Full audit trail

Every estimate save is checkpointed with who changed what, and the sent version is locked as the record for payroll and audit.

Your data, exportable

Estimates, payroll and reports export to PDF and CSV whenever you want them.

Set your matrix once. Write every estimate from it.

Start with your own panel prices, severity bands and labor rate. The first estimate you write is already yours.
