  • “We use KnowledgeLake to index damage photos and claim information, which is then accessed through our claims system,” says Amber Turner, Senior Claims Analyst for ATC. “Once documents reside in KnowledgeLake, we can access them directly through our claims system—4CS—for claims processing. This routine is transparent to our dealers and makes the process flow smoothly for them and us. Our previous system did not have an interface that would allow this. KnowledgeLake saves us and our dealers time from having to scan, then e-mail, and then manually attach documents.”
