Using VALUEpilot
Notes:
- This is an additional module that requires special licensing. Please contact Audatex for more information.
- If configured, the system will get a value corridor automatically when you send the case to another user.
VALUEpilot allows you to determine the value corridor for a vehicle. A value corridor is a replacement value range rather than a single replacement value. The corridor is based on historical data and current market offerings from leading online automotive markets and can help when assessing the accuracy of a valuation performed using the Valuation Manager and total loss decisions.
Before using VALUEpilot to determine the value corridor, it is strongly recommended that you fully identify the case vehicle in the Universal Search Tree and configure vehicle equipment because the level of vehicle identification directly influences the accuracy of the results. Refer to Identifying a Vehicle Using the Universal Search Tree (UST) for more information.
It is also recommended that you perform either a short or long vehicle valuation using VALUEpilot. Refer to Using the Valuation Manager.

 How can I tell in the Case Manager whether a vehicle has been identified?
In the AVDC column, the Case Manager displays one of three icons to denote that the case vehicle has been identified and the level of identification. Refer to the following table:
Icon
|
Explanation
|
|
Case vehicle identified. Audatex codes exist. Identification level sufficient for performing a vehicle damage calculation but not for performing a vehicle valuation.
|
|
Case vehicle identified. Jato codes exist (vehicle sales type and price date defined) or Eurotax codes exist (Eurotax code and price date defined). Identification level sufficient for vehicle damage calculation and for basic (short) valuation.
|
|
Case vehicle identified with configured equipment. Identification level sufficient for vehicle damage calculation and for extended (long) valuation, including optional equipment.

Refer to Identifying a Vehicle to learn more about identifying a vehicle. Refer to Checking the Status of a Case for more information on case status.
What is the principal difference between the Valuation Manager and VALUEpilot?
The two tools represent a completely different approach to calculating replacement vehicle value. The Valuation Manager is based on Eurotax Schwacke (ETS) market observation and provides a replacement value for a very specific vehicle with precisely defined vehicle equipment, tire condition, repair state and usage. These single figure valuations from ETS are a standard in the German market.
VALUEpilot is based on data from AUTOonline's wreck auctioning platform and actual internet offerings. VALUEpilot delivers a value corridor for a vehicle. A value corridor is simply a replacement vehicle range (rather than a single figure), for example 20,000 to 22,000 and shows the details of the current offerings that the range is calculated from.
