ProcessClaims.com (www.processclaims.com) has entered into a partnership contract agreement with California Casualty Management Co. to electronically manage their material damage claims processes for their industry partners including field appraisers, independent appraisers and collision repairers in an open architecture environment via the Internet.

"ProcessClaims.com was selected by California Casualty following a year of Internet claims technology research. Our selection was based upon ProcessClaims.com's technology, plan, delivery and people. Their combined industry experience and knowledge is unmatched, and they are delivering technology solutions today.

"From what we have seen, ProcessClaims.com is the only company past the concept stage executing a production solution," stated Michael Lloyd, California Casualty home office material damage manager.

ProcessClaims.com has successfully transacted thousands of material damage claim assignments between insurers and their partners via the Internet. With the California Casualty agreement, a contract with another major insurer and several additional live pilots, ProcessClaims.com has installed and transacted with hundreds of collision repair facilities via the ProcessClaims.com Web site.

"We are excited about our partnership with California Casualty Management Company. Our ability to effectively deliver in the marketplace has quickly produced another strong partnership agreement," stated Chuck Rich, ProcessClaims.com president.

"Our industry partners quickly realize the power of ProcessClaims.com's strategy, technology, and team strength, with an emphasis on delivering a production solution to those partners today."

"The ProcessClaims.com implementation staff is very knowledgeable of the collision repairer environment and swift in implementing their technology," stated Kelly Roe, owner of Carty's Collision Center (Ontario, Calif.).

"The simplicity of the product, along with the time and cost-saving benefits it provides are amazing. With very little training, I was able to set up a dozen claims transactions in under 30 minutes. It's hard to believe, but thrilling, what ProcessClaims.com can do for collision repairers."
