Digital Images on the Internet Now a 'Can Do' with New Software; EazyImage Professional(R) Saves Time and Money for Shop Owners
DALLAS, Dec. 5 -- B.R.I.N.K. Kiosk Corporation(R), makers of
EazyImage(R), a digital image management system for the Automotive Aftermarket
and Real Estate Industry, announced today the release of EazyImage
Professional(R), a robust build on their already popular EazyImage product
line.
EazyImage Professional, for the first time, will allow users to make
available their digital images on the Internet. In addition, EazyImage
Professional boasts some very hardy features such as scanned document support,
custom print configuration, deluxe archiving, and custom database design.
"Our customers have been demanding faster and more inexpensive methods to
manage and deliver their digital pictures and records, so it is no surprise
that we had to design a package to meet their needs," said Gary Hart, Vice
President of B.R.I.N.K. Kiosk Corporation.
Hart made the announcement today at the International Autobody Congress
and Expo (NACE) held at the Dallas Convention Center.
"When it comes to processing claims in the insurance industry, time is a
key factor in profitability," Hart noted. "EazyImage Professional is the key
for any insurance company to save time and money by quickly viewing damage.
Transmitting digital pictures is nothing new, but we have streamlined the
process in EazyImage Professional and have included many intuitive tools and
features that do not exist in the market today."
Internet Digital Imaging
"Typically, insurance companies and body shops alike have had to pay high
fees to transmit digital images and records on proprietary networks. Easy
access and reasonable cost is what EazyImage Professional is all about," said
Rudy Lehman, President of B.R.I.N.K. Kiosk Corporation.
"EazyImage Professional demonstrates that proprietary networks are
unnecessary and slow to adapt to change," Lehman added. "By harnessing the
power of the Internet, EazyImage Professional can deliver and handle an
unlimited number of pictures and other related records which most proprietary
networks cannot."
"EazyImage Professional is the product that I have been waiting for," said
Terry O'Donnell of Action Appraisal, a Phoenix-based independent insurance
adjuster. "I spend hundreds of dollars in overnight delivery fees to get
pictures to insurance companies. With EazyImage Professional, I simply take
pictures and transmit them using the Internet communications interface. The
insurance companies have the pictures the same day and can make decisions to
accept or deny claims without a shipping delay."
Digital Image Management Software
With the advent of inexpensive scanners and digital cameras, body shops
and adjusters can afford to install these devices in their office
environments. The problem with making such a purchase has been the lack of
software support for these products. EazyImage Professional is designed to
leverage the power of digital picture and document management.
"Our primary concern is the loss of important paperwork in a claimant's
record," says Perry Black, Body Shop Manager for Sunland Mercury in Glendale,
Arizona, owned by George Kirklin. "We have many vendors who deliver products
and give us handwritten receipts that are supposed to go into the claimant's
file. Incorrectly filing these receipts or outright losing them is a problem
for shops and adjusters. With EazyImage Professional, I can scan these
receipts and other important paperwork right into the claimant's record and
always be able to find them."
B.R.I.N.K. Kiosk Corp.'s EazyImage is a digital image management system
for the automotive and real estate markets that allows for the management of
digital images. With the typical cost of a Polaroid print around a dollar and
a 35mm print around fifty cents, EazyImage reduces the cost per image to less
than three cents. With this type of cost savings, collision centers,
insurance adjusters and real estate agents have the freedom to take and print
as many pictures as they want without compromising the budget. EazyImage also
extends the capabilities of many popular industry software packages. More
