Since I decided to stop storm travel after Hurricane Rita in the fall 06 I have listed with about 15 of the vendors who posted the adds. I think two required IC and the rest required Xactinet connections for up load and down load. My total out lay for xmate exceded $830. one 1 month and two 90 day leases. I received two losses from one vendor and let them re-write the estimate in xmate for 50% of the service bill. I recieved 2 more from another vendor using xnet. I received 2 more from the 3rd vendor using xnet. This is not a slam about the estimating program, but about the vendors who hang the carrot out. My advise is if you do not have xmate now, have the vendor pay for your lease and let them deduct $25.00 from each paid for file, until they are reimbursed. O by the way this is a very hard program to learn, and a harder program to upload the flood forms, photos, attachments. I still think the carriers who use this program will be hit by a monster lawsuit someday, if they do not act as the administrator of the program and funished a loaded computer like State Farm does. Why don't these vendors post "no one over 60 need apply" as I did not get a peep out of the other 12 vendors |
