For shops on CCC ONE or Mitchell
Keep your estimating software. Add the front desk around it.
Short answer
Bayline is not collision estimating software and does not replace CCC ONE or Mitchell. It works alongside them. Your estimator keeps writing estimates where they always have. Bayline answers the calls, books the estimate visits and keeps the customer updated while the car is in the shop.
Who does what
