BMS: What is it
BMS Solutions |
The CIECA suite of exchange
standards/messages are based on XML, eXtensible Markup Language. The
strength of XML is that it provides a generic way to process data on
the internet and an efficient way to transfer data between
applications and business partners.
CIECA refers to these
standards/messages as the BMS (Business Message
Specification). In the Collision Repair Industry, CIECA BMS/XML
provides a foundation for real-time exchange of data between
repairers, insurers, car rental companies, parts & materials
providers, and more.
Implementing the BMS standards
within the collision repair industry results in more efficiencies,
consistencies, cost savings, and vehicle owner satisfaction - saving
the industry time, effort, money, and customers.
The BMS/XML includes messages for transactions relative to Vehicle
Damage, Glass, Rental, Salvage Assignments, Estimates, Salvage
Dispositions, Attachments (images), Parts and Materials Procurement,
Repair Status, Authorizations, Invoicing & Statements, Rental Locations,
and Subrogation.
Twice annually CIECA produces a
Release Package which includes the BMS, the XML schema, and the Code
Lists. This provides developers and business partners with
predictable systems development cycles. |
