System for Checking Vehicle Damage Files for Missing Information

The problem

In day-to-day operations, damage forms, photographs and incident documents arrive through different systems and incident records, preventing the team from viewing the case on a single timeline.

As a result, source links may be lost while the missing-field list and review summary are prepared, the case may be referred to the wrong team, and the basis for a technical decision may be unclear.

An incomplete workflow may overlook cases involving injury, a legal dispute or an unclear incident; poorly designed automation creates a risk of misdirecting the claimant.

What we set out to improve

• Time taken for the draft missing-field list and review summary to be ready for specialist review
• Correct referral of records involving injury, a legal dispute or an unclear incident to the appropriate specialist queue
• Recording of suggestions corrected or rejected by the vehicle damage file specialist

How the system works

1. 01 Retrieve damage form, photograph and incident document data from authorised sources
2. 02 Verify the source, timestamp and record identifier
3. 03 Add the relevant asset, user, location, vehicle or content context
4. 04 Prepare the draft missing-field list and review summary
5. 05 Compare the draft with technical rules and authority limits
6. 06 Check for exceptions: injury, a legal dispute or an unclear incident
7. 07 Have the vehicle damage file specialist approve, correct or reject the draft
8. 08 Write the input, suggestion, changes and final decision to the audit log

Methods we used

• Data extraction with source and timestamp traceability from damage forms, photographs and incident documents
• Structured output that restricts the missing-field list and review summary to fields defined by technical rules
• An exception gate that separates cases involving injury, a legal dispute or an unclear incident from system processing
• An authorised queue that shows the vehicle damage file specialist the evidence alongside the suggestion
• Duplicate-processing controls and a reversal record to mitigate the risk of misdirecting the claimant

Where people stay involved

Data and security

Only fields required for the task are processed from damage forms, photographs and incident documents. Source-system permissions are preserved, and unnecessary personal, technical and security-sensitive data is minimised before being provided to the model. Every retrieval, suggestion, human change and target-system action is written to the audit log.
