PITTSFORD, NY--(Marketwire - November 6, 2008) - Fidelity National Property & Casualty
Insurance Group has signed on to offer SceneExchange, Scene Genesis' unique
Web portal that lets insureds choose an autobody shop for convenient,
high-quality repair of their damaged vehicle.
Initially, SceneExchange will be available to the company's customers in
Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and New Jersey. More states will be
added over the next several months. St. Petersburg, Fla.-based Fidelity
National is a nationwide provider of personal insurance.
"We're looking forward to realizing SceneExchange's savings and service
advantages," said Larry Brungardt, Fidelity National senior claims manager.
Fidelity National claims representatives give customers the option to use
SceneExchange. If the customer chooses it, an independent appraiser will
promptly inspect the damaged vehicle and upload the estimate and digital
photographs to SceneExchange.
SceneExchange then alerts participating local body shops, which view the
appraisal and compete for the business based on turnaround time and
service. The vehicle owner goes online to review the shops' proposals and
information about their training and warranty policies, and check ratings
from other SceneExchange customers who've used the shop.
"Fidelity National is constantly looking to give its customers the best
claims service. Offering SceneExchange gives them an easy way to utilize
the Internet to enhance the claims process," said Scene Genesis CEO Ian
Cunningham.
"Insurers boost customer satisfaction by giving insureds more control over
the repair process. The Web process and social-media aspects of
SceneExchange appeal to people who regularly obtain products and services
online," Cunningham added.
Fidelity National is the seventh insurance carrier to offer SceneExchange
to its customers.
