Solera Auto-Authorizes 50% of Claims

DoiT guided the Google Cloud AI/ML architecture behind Qapter, enabling touchless processing of 300 million transactions a year.

Meet Solera

Solera Holdings is the market leader in automobile damage estimation, transforming how insurance and automotive professionals serve customers since 2005. The company manages 300 million transactions between insurance companies, drivers, and the automotive industry annually, representing 60% of all claims worldwide. With an extensive database of proprietary damage claims images and payments, Solera launched Qapter in 2020 using Google Cloud AI/ML products to power an end-to-end claims management system.

The Challenge

Solera needed to automate their automobile collision claim workflow using AI and machine learning. Insurance companies had struggled to scale computer vision solutions for damage assessment, often failing to move beyond research projects to productized solutions. The team required sophisticated AI technologies integrated with cutting-edge cloud capabilities.

The Solution

Solera chose Google Cloud's AI/ML solutions after a thorough technology evaluation. They leveraged Cloud Vision for image processing, TensorFlow for custom algorithms, Cloud GPUs and TPUs for accelerated processing, and Google Kubernetes Engine for orchestration. DoiT International provided expertise on platform architecture and implementation best practices.

Results

Auto-authorizes 50% of damage claims, reducing estimating costs by nearly half
Processes 300 million transactions annually representing 60% of global claims
Eliminates need for physical claims adjuster visits through AI-powered damage assessment
Provides contactless claims processing during COVID-19 pandemic

DoiT demonstrated deep knowledge of both Google Cloud and the full-stack infrastructure that Qapter requires.

The Challenge: Matching Technology to the Problem

When CTO Evan Davies joined Solera in 2020, he knew multiple technologies would be required to solve complex business problems. Insurance companies had struggled to commercialize computer vision solutions for collision damage repair, often building working solutions but failing to scale. Solera needed to apply mature AI technologies effectively while maintaining their proven backend systems. The team required sophisticated cloud and AI technologies to reimagine Qapter and streamline the estimation process globally.

Choosing Google Cloud for AI Innovation

After a thorough technology evaluation, Google Cloud's AI/ML solutions proved more sophisticated, robust, and scalable than competitors. The tight integration between AI technologies and the entire Google Cloud portfolio was decisive. Solera leverages Cloud Vision for image processing and OCR, TensorFlow for custom algorithms, and Cloud GPUs and TPUs for accelerated processing. This single-source approach provides faster processing speed and sophisticated tools that complement development focus.

The Solution: Innovation with Expert Support

Solera partnered with Google Cloud engineers and DoiT International for platform architecture advice and implementation best practices. The new Qapter version launched in 2020 dramatically transforms customer offerings. When drivers upload damage pictures, the platform leverages its huge repository to estimate damage extent, recognize vehicle make and model, identify required parts, and calculate repair costs without physical claims adjuster visits.

Results: Self-Service Claims Processing

Customers in France and The Netherlands are thrilled with Qapter's AI-powered damage claims workflow. The system now auto-authorizes 50% of damage claims, reducing estimating costs by nearly half. During COVID-19, the platform provides unexpected benefits by reducing human interactions while maintaining necessary services. The three-dimensional vehicle models can be repurposed for various workflows, creating a solid basis for future product development.

What they say

Attribute™'s platform is truly unique. We now have crystal-clear visibility into our cloud spend at the workload and tenant level, and that insight has already led to actionable savings and powerful insights as we further scale our service.

Paul White, VP of Engineering, Shasta Cloud

We have worked with DoiT for many years, and there has been an increasing number of capabilities and features in DoiT Cloud Intelligence. We've embedded features such as Cloud Analytics and Reports in our own FinOps processes, it's become core to what we do.

Martin Lee, Director of Operations

DoiT gave us the confidence to move from experimentation to production. They helped us understand the right way to build AI for the real world.

Milad Rezazadeh, CTO

Attribute™'s cost grouping technology took our cost visibility and allocation to a whole new level. Now, our teams are fully accountable for their budgets, significantly improving our cloud efficiency and helping us minimize unnecessary costs.

Eli Zilbershtein, Head of DevOps, Hippo

You can't tag a customer in a multi-tenant environment. Attribute™ finally shows us what each customer costs and what's driving those costs.

Omri Cohen, Director of Engineering, Platform

Attribute™'s data is truly unmatched. No other solution on the market could deliver the precise customer cost and usage profiles we needed in such a complex infrastructure. Within weeks, the data from Attribute™ transformed our understanding of cost structures, influencing key strategic decisions in pricing, renegotiations, and market positioning.

Jonathan Langer, COO, Claroty

Attribute™ simplified tracking customer costs in our multi-tenant environments. Customer cost measurement is now clear and standardized, and finance gets the business context they need. Integration was quick and required no changes.

Kfir Lippmann, CFO, Salt Security

Attribute™ translates complex cloud bills into actionable, business-centric insights that empower our engineering teams to take true ownership of their costs.

Balamurugan Mohandossgandhi, Head of IT and Infrastructure, PropertyGuru

This has let us get a better idea of what our cost of goods sold really is. It's not every day you come across something that delivers value as quickly as yours did for us. I was seeing useful insights inside the POC, and we had only deployed it to a couple of real clusters.

Jason Moore, Principal DevOps Engineer, Accrete AI

Eliminating the need to tag thousands of resources has freed up my team and we've invested our efforts in enhancing our platform significantly.

Ziv Sivan, VP of Engineering

PerfectScale by DoiT has become an important part of how we optimize Kubernetes at scale at OneFootball. It gives our platform team the visibility, automation, resiliency insights, and confidence we need to balance cost efficiency with production readiness, especially as we prepare for major global football moments like the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Andrea Benfatto, Platform/Cloud Runtime Engineering Manager

Cloudflow's new RDS End of Life alerts have allowed us to be more proactive on keeping our database instances up-to-date. The new solution gives us internal visibility ahead of time so that we can prepare for upgrades, instead of having to upgrade under pressure while incurring extended support costs.

Jon Fairbanks, Site Reliability Engineering Manager

PerfectScale cut 40% off our total EKS spend, and the automations handle what used to take our team 20 hours a month. Now we spend that time on reliability and performance instead of chasing cost metrics.

Caio Cristo, Director of Infrastructure/SRE
