PAVE recently formed another relationship with a company aimed at leveraging its vehicle-inspection technology.

Mitchell, a technology and information provider for the property and casualty claims and collision repair industries, recently announced that it is teaming up with PAVE to automate vehicle inspections and conditioning.

Using Mitchell’s cloud-based appraisal solution, comprehensive data and open platform with PAVE’s proprietary artificial intelligence and guided image capture application, U.S. and Canadian organizations will be able to generate graded condition reports from uploaded photos.

These reports will identify the vehicle damage and include estimated costs for parts, labor, repair or replace operations, and regional taxes.

“PAVE has developed an advanced, AI-powered solution for virtual vehicle inspections,” PAVE co-CEO and founder Steve Southin said in a news release. “By joining forces with Mitchell, a leader in collision estimating technology and repair data, PAVE will be able to provide our customers with complete and consistent damage appraisals — arming them with the information needed to effectively run their businesses.”

PAVE chief strategy officer Jameel Ghata added, “We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with Mitchell International to accelerate damage estimation of our automated vehicle condition reports.

“For the first time, this partnership will allow the industry to receive a fully automated and graded condition report tied to Mitchell estimations, providing an in-depth and consistent understanding of vehicle damage and repair costs,” Ghata went on to say. “By leveraging Mitchell’s cloud-based appraisal solution and comprehensive data with our proprietary AI and guided image capture application, we can offer our customers complete and consistent damage appraisals — arming them with the information needed to effectively run their businesses.”

PAVE will be the latest AI innovator to integrate its machine-learning and computer vision models with the Mitchell Intelligent Open Platform, which powers the company’s full suite of intelligent solutions.

Designed to provide flexibility and scalability, the platform enables organizations to use Mitchell’s technology with their own AI, Mitchell Intelligent Damage Analysis, or AI developed by a third-party provider.

“We are committed to helping customers improve efficiency and quality by automating workflows using our latest AI-enabled technologies alongside the growing number of AI options supported by the Mitchell Intelligent Open Platform,” Mitchell senior vice president of global product strategy and artificial intelligence Olivier Baudoux said in the news release. “With PAVE and its market-leading AI solution, we can introduce our innovative technology to new industry verticals including fleet management.”
