ClaimWatch, the web-based package that enables bodyshops, work providers and motorists to track the status of collision repairs, has been further developed and can now include vehicle manufacturer- branded web pages, including model types.

The standard ClaimWatch package displays a generic car model on the personal tracking pages. This development in branding means that a vehicle manufacturer and/or franchised dealership purchasing Claimwatch can include illustrations of clearly branded car models in the tracking pages of their ClaimWatch database.

M & A Coachworks, a London bodyshop with Jaguar 'Centre of Excellence' approval is one of the first bodyshops to take advantage of ClaimWatch's branded pages option.

Further enhancements designed to appeal to corporate clients are also available. For example, Active Server Pages (ASP) coding can be added to allow manufacturers to target specific customers with specific information. During the next few months ClaimWatch Ltd is planning to run manufacturer-specific "Introduction to ClaimWatch" workshops at its Hove offices. Email: Steve Wheele on steve@viccariwheele.co.uk.
