Brady is proud of the shared vision for constant improvement across all aspects of the business. “We are thrilled to take out the win again, and it’s hats off to the team for their hard work over the past year,” he says.

Stelvio has been delivering innovative insurtech products to the Australian insurance and repairer management markets through its EstImage suite of products since 2001. After entering the Australian market as the first software company to digitally connect organisations that manage accidents, claims, and repairs more than 20 years ago, Stelvio has collaborated with some of the largest insurers in Australia.
Its mission is simple: to help insurance businesses run better by providing customers with user-friendly software while continuously pushing the barriers of innovation. To do this, Stelvio collaborates with organisations that manage accidents, claims, and repairs to deliver industry-driven insurance software solutions that help insurance businesses move beyond motor assessing.
Throughout 2020, the Stelvio team primarily focused on strengthening its position as a leading provider of motor vehicle insurance technology.
This was achieved by increasing the performance of its flagship product, EstImage Motor, and innovating and embedding additional features into the product, including artificial intelligence and automation capabilities.

The business also further developed supporting solutions within the EstImage product suite, including EstImage Connect, which facilitates customer connection and data, photo, and video collection for damage and repairs, and EstImage Online, a cloud-based solution designed for smash repairers completing work for insurers. Stelvio also developed EstImage Property,
a new software solution that services the property insurance market in a manner similar to EstImage Motor. EstImage Property is a customisable software solution that simplifies the administration of property claims between property insurers, suppliers, and customers.
Transitioning from a single product to four made it difficult to manage from a development, support, and product management point of view, especially as Stelvio expanded into different areas of insurance including property.
“Stelvio addressed this challenge by restructuring its software development team to sit under four distinct, multi-disciplinary teams, capable of building and modifying any product within the EstImage product suite,” says Yannick Giguère, general manager at Stelvio Australia. “Stelvio also hired additional software development and product management team members to better resource its support and development teams.”
EstImage, powered by Stelvio, delivers technologies that help insurance businesses run better, letting insurance and repairer management customers keep pace with changing business needs, industry-specific requirements, and technological evolution. EstImage is the complete communications hub for insurance providers, suppliers, and repairers. The cloud-based assessing and workflow management platform helps insurers and supporting businesses to maximise their efficiency while enabling customers to repair, replace, or reimburse damaged goods.
“Stelvio’s approach to EstImage is unique in that it leverages software integration to simplify communication and data exchange between insurers and their suppliers from one centralised location, eliminating the need for multiple products or portals”
Yannick Giguère,
Stelvio Australia
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, the EstImage product suite empowers suppliers and insurers to each continue using their preferred systems and processes, while simultaneously ensuring that data is received in the required format. The solution automates the data transfer between systems, ensuring that it is sent and received however it is required by the insurer’s system.
“Stelvio’s approach to EstImage is unique in that it leverages software integration to simplify communication and data exchange between insurers and their suppliers from one centralised location, eliminating the need for multiple products or portals,” says Giguère. “The EstImage suite of products can be adapted and configured for use across any organisation managing claims and/or repairs. With the EstImage product suite, Stelvio has developed a framework that can be used to implement any existing or new processes for a more streamlined experience. In addition, products in the EstImage suite integrate seamlessly with each other and are also ready for integration with external systems.”
With more than 20 years of experience providing customised technology solutions to fit every client’s unique requirements in the insurance industry, Stelvio delivers industry-leading insurance software solutions and develops technologies that make businesses run better. Stelvio takes an agile approach to its software development, encouraging customer feedback at every juncture to improve product quality and customer satisfaction. The EstImage product suite, powered by Stelvio, has been providing innovative solutions to the Australian insurance and repairer industries since 2001.
