signi昀椀cant changes over the past

capacity. Claims have decreased by
approximately 18%, and there are
few indications of a return to what we
might consider ‘normal levels’,” said

“If this trend is indeed the new
standard, as many industry experts
suggest, it is essential for us to take
proactive measures to support our
repairers in capturing more work
through our approved networks.
“These conferences will be part of our
regular network workshops aimed at
formulating and enhancing strategic
plans across several key business
areas,” said Danny Rota, CEO of ITAS.
“These conferences are the 昀椀rst step to
taking control of these challenges and
working collaboratively to drive our
market penetration into our networks
