The Next Generation

The new online escribe gives insurance engineers and repairers instant access to the very latest multi-franchised Thatcham crash repair methods and recommendations, technical newsletters, times and parts, whenever and wherever they are required.

With the new online escribe, users can quickly build up a repair specification, by using the new Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM) Look up which helps ensure the correct methods for a particular vehicle, and then by selecting the exact components required to build a comprehensive repair methods pack with critical safety data and model specific methods which exactly match the damaged vehicle.

escribe delivers a fully defined, step-by-step workflow for each repair process and adds an individual job and bodyshop specific reference, dated and timed, to help ensure compliance with bodyshop standards.

All escribe methods can be referred to instantly and conveniently from a P.C., smart phone, tablet or other mobile device during the assessment and repair of the vehicle.

Alternatively, you can simply print out the information and add it to the job card. Where available, it is also possible to select panel images via the Service Condition Image View, a particularly useful and quick way to identify the correct panels.

Methods packs can be saved and to ensure you have the very latest methods issued from Thatcham’s research laboratory, if you go back into the method at a later time, escribe will immediately alert you to any updates which will have been made to the data during that period.

We have also included an audit feature which provides a complete record of which Thatcham Methods are requested and who accessed the information in your workshop.

Furthermore, subscribers to escribe now receive a free of charge link to Thatcham Integrated Methods via Audatex AudaEnterpriseGold, giving seamless access to Methods throughout the estimating process. escribe guides the user to identify the most efficient and cost effective repair specification whilst maintaining a quality and safety focussed repair specification.
