Rate Finder

Scheduled rates at your fingertips

Tap the ₹ Rate finder button in any report, pick the vehicle and search a part or panel. It shows the scheduled amount the right way for each brand — Maruti labour as hours × your city rate, Hyundai as the group ₹ — after your garage allowance. One tap drops it into the cell you last touched.

  1. Open the report and tap the gold ₹ Rate finder button (bottom-left).
  2. Pick OEM — Maruti or Hyundai — then the city category (A1/A2/B/C) or Hyundai group, and the model.Model names differ between labour & painting lists — if an exact match isn't found it searches the closest automatically.
  3. Choose Garage allowance — Authorised 100%, MASS 80%, Local 70% / 65%.
  4. Switch Labour / Painting and type the part — e.g. "bumper". For painting, Process & Finish default to Any, so panels always show; narrow them only if needed.
  5. Tap Insert to drop the ₹ into the amount cell you last tapped, or Copy.
New: Hyundai now appears alongside Maruti, and every model/category loads fully — the old list only ever showed Maruti.

Nil-Dep depreciation

Depreciation shown, then added back

On a Nil / Zero-dep policy the depreciation is still calculated and shown for transparency, then added back on the very next line — "Depreciation (₹X) not deducted being Nil Dep Policy" — right inside the Parts and Labour tables, exactly like your own report. The net payable is unchanged; nothing is hidden.

  1. Tick "Nil / Zero-dep policy" in the assessment.
  2. Each depreciation line shows the amount, then an add-back line in the same block so the Net / Grand total carries the full value.
  3. Paint depreciation in the Labour table is treated the same way.
  4. The Summary shows the full labour & parts figures directly — no separate "reimbursed" line to explain.
For National Insurance, IMT-23 depreciation is still deducted even under zero-dep — handled automatically from the insurer name.
Garage Master

Place of Survey in one tap

Save your garages once in Garage Master, then pick one straight into the report. The Place of Survey fills as "Name, Branch, City", and the Total-Loss remark writes "I visited the garage <name> on <survey date & time>…" by itself.

  1. Add your garages & branches once in Garage Master (name, city, category, tie-up).
  2. In the report, next to Place of Survey, tap Garage master.
  3. Search and pick — the field fills instantly, and the Dealer/Garage name too.
  4. Fill Date & Time of Survey — it flows into the auto-written remark.

AI damage scan — side detection
Vehicle's own left / right (as if sitting in the driver's seat)
LH
Left · passenger side
RH
Right · driver side (India)
In a front photo the car faces you, so its RH appears on your left — the AI flips for this.
Viewer left → vehicle RHViewer right → vehicle LH
AI left / right damage

Correct side, every time

The AI damage scan now names the side from the vehicle's own left/right — not the camera's. In India the driver sits on the right, so RH = driver side. In a front photo the view is mirrored, and the AI flips accordingly. If it can't tell the side confidently, it gives the part name without LH/RH rather than guessing.

  1. Scan damage photos as usual — the AI lists each damaged part with severity & action.
  2. Side labels (LH / RH) follow the vehicle's own orientation; front views are handled mirrored.
  3. Always confirm the side against the photo before it goes into the report.
AI suggestions are a starting point — the surveyor verifies everything before it enters the report.
Assessment checks & GST

Small guards that catch big mistakes

The report quietly checks the things that get reports sent back, and the assessment sheet handles GST on the estimate for you.

  1. Estimate incl./excl. GST toggle — choose whether the garage estimate already has GST; "auto-fill" then puts the right net in Assessed.
  2. No part's net goes above its estimated amount.
  3. On desktop the assessment tables slide sideways for easy entry, and still print correctly.

Insured e-sign

The insured confirms the assessment

Share the assessment with the insured on a live link — no app, no login. They review the figures on their phone, sign a declaration with their finger, and the signature, name, date & time come straight back into your report (and the PDF).

  1. In the report menu, tap Share for Insured Sign-off → a secure link (valid 3–15 days).
  2. Send it on WhatsApp. The insured opens it, reviews the assessment, and signs.
  3. The signed Insured's Declaration appears in your report automatically — reopen the report to see it.
The link itself is the key — unguessable and one-time; no customer login, and nothing else is exposed.
