CIECA announced that its next CIECA Webinar is scheduled for Thursday, February 22 at 11 am PST/1 pm CST/2 pm EST: “Embracing Technology to be Successful in the Collision Industry.” The one-hour webinar will feature Mike Anderson, owner of Collision Advice.
“People tend to be skeptical about new technology,” said Anderson. “Instead, I encourage the industry to be optimistic and open-minded about the opportunities available and embrace new technology in their businesses to be successful today and tomorrow in the collision industry.”
During the live broadcast, Anderson will discuss:
- New technologies being used by industry stakeholders, including insurers, paint companies, rental and OEMs
- The use of technology for industry practices, such as writing estimates, tracking parts returns, entering information into management systems and vehicle status updates
- Opportunities to use artificial intelligence (AI) for scheduling and capacity of work
- What to know in regard to cybersecurity
- How technology can be used to exchange data with industry partners
All industry segments, including CIECA members and non-members, are invited to attend the February 22 webinar.
