Sherwin-Williams A-Plus Members 'Get Connected' With ADP Claims Services Group

ADP Claims Services Group and Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes have announced a program for A-Plus(TM) members to increase their insurance claim volume by using ADP's web-based claims management applications with their existing computerized estimating systems.

"The strength of ADP's 'Get Connected' program is in its simplicity," said Brian Shenk, A-Plus Program Manager for Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes Corp. "A-Plus members can use their current estimating systems to participate. 'Get Connected' helps our members to expand their market by exposing their businesses to new trading partners."

"Our claims management platform connects and engages the entire claims community to reduce time and costs for each trading partner and improve customer satisfaction for policyholders," said John Kotsopoulos, vice president sales, collision repair services North America, ADP Claims Services Group. "We're excited Sherwin-Williams is participating in the 'Get Connected' program, which will promote direct repair program relationships and claim referrals for A-Plus members -- and that translates into assignments."

Since ADP posts participating business data on the web-based claims management system, insurance companies have the information they need to send assignments directly to those repair facilities. To participate, A-Plus members must complete a business profile form that ADP Claims Services Group will share with insurance companies that need repair partners. The business profile includes information on the facilities' size and repair capabilities, estimating and imaging technology, current and desired insurance relationships, and contact information.

"Get Connected" is free to Shoplink users, and costs a one-time set-up fee of $50 for CCC or Mitchell estimating system users, and is available to all A-Plus members.
