Collision Repair Partnerships

200 Years of Innovation Brings a New Way to Make Your Business More Profitable

Akzo Nobel Applies the Innovation Used in 200 Years of Paint Technology with the Power of a Global Network to Help Bring More Business to Your Door

A Proven Name in the Collision Repair Industry
Akzo Nobel, world's largest manufacturer of paint and coating technology and supplier to the collision repair industry's leading collision repair centers, presents their latest innovation for helping build bodyshop profitability: Nobilas

Nobilas is not another DRP, nor is it simply a banner group merchandising program. Nobilas is a unique business venture that has been designed to address three key industry issues that threaten the growth and business stability of collision repair centers:

• Need to ensure a consistent flow of work
• Intensified competitive pressures
• Escalating administrative responsibilities resulting from multiple DRP relationships

Enables Growth through Industry Networks
Nobilas leverages the total business knowledge that is required to deliver the world's most technologically advanced products with the need of building the business volume, which will enable a body shop to profitably grow. This business volume is achieved primarily through the relationships that Nobilas creates between Nobilas Network members and participating insurance companies, fleets and other third parties.

Increased Business and the Tools to Support
In addition to more consistent business volume Nobilas members will participate in programs such as:

Marketing
The Nobilas program will work for you in soliciting new clients. This reduces the participating members own marketing investments while enhancing the image of participating network members.

Communication
A centralized Service Center will act as the bridge or intermediary between the shop, customer and insurance company, minimizing calls that would ordinarily be handled by the shop. In addition, the shop has one standard location to contact for multiple clients resulting in less confusion and time.

Consistency
The Service Center will standardize the issues required in working with multiple DRP programs. This enables the network members to focus on repair management vs. rule management. This enables shop personnel to take on additional work.

Cycle Time
Through education, training and standardization of processes, Nobilas will assist the shop in moving vehicles through the repair process faster and more efficiently. This translates into higher profitability for you.

Connectivity
Achieved through state-of-the-art technology that enables all network members to participate in managing and auditing claims workflow. This results in significant time savings and increased efficiencies.

Documented CSI
Use of outside CSI service assists network members in obtaining referral business.

Network Membership is About Results
Members of the Nobilas network will be accountable for:

• Ongoing education
• Quality Assurance tracking

Each of the criteria will work to ensure the Nobilas network represents to both the insurance company and the vehicle owner the finest in collision repair industry craftsmanship.
