The 2025 SEMA Show<\/a> in Las Vegas has always been a beacon for automotive innovation, and this year, buzz on the Collision Repair & Refinish Live Stage hosted by I-CAR reached new heights. Bill Brower<\/a>, industry icon and Senior Vice President of Global Industry Relations and North America Claims Solutions at Solera, delivered an engaging session with his \u201cTransforming the Vehicle Intake Process<\/a>\u201d interview with Danny Gredinberg<\/a> from DEG. This powerful presentation highlighted the next phase of collision repair and cemented Solera and its flagship Qapter Intelligent Estimating tool as trailblazers in the AI-powered transformation of claims and repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showcasing CARSTAR Canada\u2019s vehicle intake transformation, Bill Brower presented how Sebastian Torres<\/a>, Owner and General Manager of TORCAM CARSTAR<\/a>, has fully implemented AI across his body shops, proving that the new intake model delivers double-digit revenue growth and cycle time reduction, all while elevating customer service scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qapter is a powerful AI-driven solution that leverages deep Machine Learning algorithms and millions of historical claims to deliver fast, accurate damage assessments. Brower emphasized how Qapter reduces cycle times and improves consistency across the claims journey. For body shops, this means faster approvals and fewer delays. For insurers, it guarantees transparency and reliability. And for customers, it translates to quicker, smoother repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill Brower\u2019s appearance at SEMA\u2019s I-CAR<\/a> Live Stage came at a time when the collision industry is hungry for proven, scalable answers to new challenges. SEMA 2025 itself emphasizes VR-based technician training, hands-on demonstrations, and panel discussions with every major OEM, parts supplier, and service network\u2014a sign that advanced digital workflows are moving from \u201cnice to have\u201d to \u201ctable stakes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solera\u2019s message is clear: Integrated AI is here, and it\u2019s driving real results for every size of shop, every day.
