You arrive at your home office, the smell of fresh coffee filling the air. Your laptop screen flickers to life, showing a packed calendar. First, you dive into emails, responding to supplement requests from local body shops and scheduling new appraisals. You open CCC One, reviewing yesterday’s pending estimates and preparing your route for the morning. Already, your phone rings – a claimant eager for an update on their damaged SUV. You confirm their appointment for later this afternoon, trying to manage expectations.
