Parrot

Parrot is an AI-native back-office layer for collision shops that handles calls, emails, and paperwork across suppliers, adjusters, and customers. It automates parts sourcing, insurance follow-up, and shop management so shops can approve work with a single click and focus on repairs.

Parrot acts as an AI backend that integrates with a shop's management platform to manage communications and workflows. It can call suppliers to source parts, email adjusters for supplements, and automatically update the shop’s system of record. It provides instant estimates from customer photos, automates insurance follow-ups to accelerate approvals, sources parts (often in parallel across multiple suppliers), manages shop operations (technician coordination, invoices, payroll), and keeps customers updated at every step. Orders and supplements are compiled in one view for approval, and the system emphasizes one-click approval before finalization. The product claims measurable outcomes such as increased repair orders, reduced supplement turnaround, and faster cycle times.

Who it’s for: Collision repair shops / auto body shops using a back-office or shop management system
