Every assignment, from every portal, already estimated.
blnd signs in to the claims portals you work in, pulls each new assignment the moment it is dispatched, and writes a CCC ONE-ready estimate file from the photos. You review it, approve it, and it goes back to the claim.
No card. Connect your first portal in a few minutes.

Pulls assignments from the portals your work already comes through
Every portal you work in, in one inbox
Independent appraisers and IA firms take work from five, eight, ten portals at once. blnd signs in to all of them so you stop living in browser tabs.
- Seven portals, seven logins
- Each with its own queue, its own session timeout, its own idea of where the photos live.
- Claim numbers, retyped
- From the dispatch email to the portal to your tracker to the estimating system. Every transposed digit is a phone call.
- Waiting on a one-time code
- The portal logs you out, mails a six-digit code, and you are hunting through your inbox in a body shop lot.
- Estimates at 11 p.m.
- Inspections fill the day. Writing them up fills the night, and the desk review comes back by morning.
blnd removes all four. Your login stays with your account, and the portal sees you, working faster.
From dispatch to uploaded estimate, without the busywork in between
Four steps. You do the first one once. blnd does the next two on its own. The last one waits for you.

blnd writes the estimate
From the photos and the assignment notes, blnd drafts the line items: replace, repair, refinish, blend, R&I. It builds a file that imports into the estimating system you already use, plus a PDF. You review and adjust before anything leaves.

A blnd button inside every portal
Some days you will still be in the portal: a desk reviewer asked a question, or you want to see the file as the carrier sees it. The Chrome extension brings blnd to you there.

This is a demo. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Try it: press a blnd button in the table.
Sits in the portal you already use
The button appears on each case row of the assignment queue. No new tab, no copying a file number.
One click to see the estimate
Open the draft, check the lines, and see the photos it was written from, without leaving the claim.
Upload where it belongs
Approve and the file goes to the exact claim you are looking at. Nothing moves until you press it.
Your logins are your livelihood. We treat them that way.
A portal account is tied to your licence and your client relationships. blnd is built so the worst thing it can do on its own is read.
How blnd handles your dataCredentials encrypted at rest
Portal passwords are sealed with AES-256-GCM before they touch the database, and only decrypted inside the job that signs in.
Read-only by default
blnd reads assignments, notes and photos. It does not accept, reject, reassign or message anyone on your behalf.
You approve every upload
An estimate reaches a portal only after you press approve, on the web app or on the button inside the portal.
Gmail, for codes only
The inbox connection looks for portal sign-in codes and nothing else. Disconnect it any time from settings.
