CCC Announces Plan To Provide an Enterprise Payments Platform To The P&C Insurance And Automotive Ecosystem

CCC Information Services Inc. (CCC), a leading SaaS supplier to the P&C insurance industry, announces the introduction of an enterprise payments network to power electronic payments through the insurance and automobile ecosystems. The company intends to extend its CCC® Payments capabilities to allow digital payments between insurers and their business partners, thus lowering administrative costs and cycle time while improving customer satisfaction.

CCC's network of over 30,000 businesses will benefit from their CCC connections because payments functionality is built to integrate with their CCC solutions, presenting payment details inside existing workflows. CCC Payments transactions initiated by insurers will be handled by Nvoicepay, a third-party financial services provider and a pioneer in payment automation software, which is expected to begin in the second half of 2021. CCC first launched electronic payment capabilities in 2019, offering collision repair customers an easy way to manage customer-to-shop payments.

"CCC is systematically bringing digitization to every area of the automobile and insurance industries," said Barrett Callaghan, senior vice president of markets and customer success at CCC. "By expanding CCC Payments, we want to remove two significant market pressure points: paper checks and phone calls." Our plans to incorporate CCC Payments into our workflow solutions would be important, particularly for our collision repair and lender customers, who will be able to use their single access to CCC to handle digital receipt of insurer payments. CCC is eager to expand its digital capability to cover payments, as it continues to meet the industry's vision for straight-through processing."

CCC Payments is designed to enable insurers to accept any form of B2B digital payment through P&C lines. Recipients using the payment solution would only need to insert their payment details once with the processor for it to be seamlessly and securely deployed through the CCC network, making it simple to enable payments at scale. CCC Payments is intended to enable straight-through processing as well as configurable workflows, enabling insurers to select the level of automation for payment approvals. Furthermore, all insurers and payees will access premium notifications and status updates directly from their existing CCC environment.

"CCC is proud to help more than $100 billion in commerce per year through its technology and connections," said Shivani Govil, CCC's chief product officer. "CCC intends to expand our core capabilities and advance the digitization of the P&C insurance economy through our expected expansion in digital payments. We anticipate that CCC Payments will open up a whole universe of possibilities for our customers to enhance their performance and the customer experiences they deliver."
