The team is particularly excited about the opportunity to learn from other members and contribute to the growth and success of CIECA.
“Being part of CIECA also allows us to share our innovative approach to reviews management and lead acceleration with a wider audience, and we're looking forward to building strong relationships within the organization,” he said.
Mendiratta said CIECA standards are important for the collision industry because they promote interoperability and standardization, which ultimately leads to improved efficiency and accuracy in business operations.
“For our business, adopting CIECA standards helps ensure that we are using the most up-to-date and reliable methods for communicating and exchanging data with our partners and customers, which leads to better customer experiences and improved overall business performance,” he said.
