AI agent for insurance claims processors
Salvage Recovery Agent
Highest net salvage recovery with the item sold, the title transferred and storage costs stopped
What it does
After a total loss, salvage value is lost if the vehicle or item sits too long. This agent lists the salvage items and requests bids from the buyer list. It compares the best bid with the book value and the expected recovery. If bids are low, it triggers a new round with more buyers or a changed description. It tracks title transfer and pickup until the item is gone and storage charges stop. The processor approves the sale. Edge case: the best bid is high but the buyer cannot collect for 10 days, so the agent weighs the storage cost against a slightly lower bid with fast pickup.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- A total loss is settled
- List the salvage item with photos and condition
- Request bids from the buyer list
- Compare bids net of storage and pickup time
- Is the best net bid at least the target share of book value?If not: add buyers or revise the description and request a new round. Back to step 2.
- Processor approves the saleThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Confirm payment and arrange title transfer
- Track pickup and storage charges
- Has the item left and the title transferred?If not: chase the buyer and the yard, and offer the next bid if the date passes. Back to step 8.
- Salvage closed with the recovery recorded
How it decides
The best bid is net of storage and pickup delay. Bids under the target share of book value start a new round.
- Target at least 25 percent of book value
- Net out storage at the daily rate
- Start a new round after a failed first round
- Move to the second bidder after 7 days of no pickup
