Technical assessment

Hail damage calculator and PDR technical assessment

The heart of the system: assess hail damage panel by panel on a schematic vehicle map, and WE-PDR calculates the flat-rate repair cost and total-loss risk in real time.

Hail damage calculator and PDR technical assessment

The calculator guides the assessor step by step through the technical assessment of a hail-damaged vehicle. Instead of a rough guess, you pick a body panel on the map and enter the dent count and size, material (steel/aluminium), painting, disassemblies and any parts replacement — all on one screen, including a tablet in the field.

Every change instantly recalculates the estimate: net and gross repair cost, share of vehicle value and the total-loss threshold. The method is repeatable and documented, so the estimate holds up with the insurer — it is not a guess, but the result of clear rules.

Key capabilities

Body map with numbered markers

A standard panel catalogue (hood, fenders, doors, pillars, sills, trunk, roof) with binding numbering — plus custom panels when needed.

Dents: count and size

For each panel you enter the dent count and size (up to 40 mm, 41–70 mm, over 70 mm).

Material and painting

Steel or aluminium and painting affect the rate according to the price-list rules.

Disassemblies and parts

Add disassemblies and replacement parts from the catalogue — with labour, paint and blending costs.

Live result

Repair cost, total-loss threshold and profitability are calculated instantly on every change.

Mobile-first

Runs in the browser on phone and tablet — assess next to the car, no paper.

Frequently asked questions

Does the calculator estimate hold up with the insurer? +
Yes — the document shows the method: panel-by-panel assessment, the running total and the applied threshold. Every number is documented and repeatable.
Does the calculator work on a tablet in the field? +
Yes. WE-PDR is a mobile-first web app — it runs in the browser on phone, tablet and desktop, with no installation.
