CCC Intelligent Solutions (Chicago), a provider of a SaaS platform for the property/casualty insurance industry, has debuted CCC Estimate – STP, which the vendor pitches as making touchless estimating a reality. The company says that CCC Estimate-STP uses advanced AI and insurer-driven rules to automatically initiate and populate detailed and actionable estimates in seconds.
