CAB Group

What CAB Group does

CAB Group AB is a Swedish vertical software provider, founded in the 1970s and headquartered in \u00d6rebro, that operates what it describes as the largest integrated insurance process platform in the Nordics. Its products connect workshops, insurance companies, vehicle manufacturers, and property managers across standardized, data-driven workflows. The portfolio spans three sectors: automotive (CABAS damage calculation system and CAB Plan workshop booking/planning, plus sub-products for heavy vehicles, glass, and insurance review), property (MEPS for property damage and ROT/repair collaboration), and healthcare (Kuralink and DigiCare platforms linking care providers and purchasers via subsidiary CAB Healthcare AB).

The CABAS core is built on proprietary time standards databases (MYSBY for bodywork, MEKBY for mechanical/service, LACK for paint) populated from real-world repair time studies conducted at Nordic damage workshops since the 1970s. The platform integrates VIN-based parts lookup, OEM repair methods via ALLDATA (~37 brands, 133,000+ vehicle variants), parts ordering from dismantlers (Recopart, BergStrom, Bildelsbasen), direct glass ordering (Pilkington, Autover), climate impact calculation (in partnership with VITO), and AI-augmented features including CAB Smart Damage Analysis (computer vision) and CABAS Assistant (generative AI for damage calculation, GA September 2025). Native integrations connect CABAS to 14+ dealer management systems (Keyloop, Nextlane, Volvo Car Retail Solutions, Moller Bil, Hantverksdata, ProMeister, WinAssist, Finn Levinsen, IntFlow/Fortnox, DocTech, Verendus, incadea, Pinewood, MRF VIM) and 13+ insurance companies (If, Folksam, Trygg Hansa, Gjensidige, Aktsam, L\u00e4nsf\u00f6rs\u00e4kringar, Protector, Svedea, Tre Kronor, Dina, ICA, Watercircles, Volvia). The platform is ISO 27001 and TISAX certified and GDPR-compliant.

CAB Group earns revenue through a combination of annual software subscriptions (e.g., CABAS Workshop at 29,097 SEK/year, CAB Plan at 7,239 SEK/year) layered with transaction-based fees (e.g., 7.66-406.97 SEK per damage calculated or sent to insurer, 0-16.29 SEK per booking, 1.22 SEK per SMS reminder), plus transaction fees for climate calculation, parts sourcing, and glass ordering, and professional services revenue from training, distance learning, and consulting for vehicle manufacturers (delivered through a German subsidiary). Distribution combines direct online self-service ordering for SMB workshops, direct enterprise sales by account managers for insurers and OEMs, and indirect channels via system integrators and insurance referral. Operations span Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark (since 2023), and the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, anchored by If P&C Insurance AS in 2024), with offices in \u00d6rebro (HQ, engineering and training), Copenhagen (Denmark regional HQ since 2023), and training facilities in G\u00e4vle and Gothenburg. The company has 101-250 employees, no disclosed external investors or parent company, and is privately held.

The flagship CABAS platform performs vehicle damage calculation using a proprietary time standards database built over 50 years, complemented by CAB Plan for workshop booking and planning, MEPS for property damage claim handling, and Kuralink/DigiCare for private healthcare coordination.

CAB Group provides a modular platform ecosystem for insurance processes across three sectors: Automotive (CABAS + CAB Plan), Property (MEPS), and Healthcare (Kuralink/DigiCare). In the automotive sector, CABAS is the core estimation system paired with CAB Plan for booking and planning, supplemented by specialized sub-products (CABAS Heavy for trucks, CABAS Glass for auto glass, CABAS Insurance for insurers, CAB Analytic Time System for OEMs) and a suite of add-on modules (CABAS Climate Calculation for CO2e reporting, CABAS Parts Catalogue for VIN-based parts, CAB Overview for customer-facing status, CAB Plan KPI Portal for BI, CAB Plan Deviation Handling for quality, Damage Inspection Booking Portal and CAB Plan Damage Booking for booking workflows, Paint Reply for body-paint shop collaboration, CABAS Parts for dismantlers, and ALLDATA Repair Methods).

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Bdeo Technologies: Bdeo is a European AI-based visual intelligence provider for vehicle and property damage assessment, already partnered with CAB for insurance customers. It is comparable as a niche AI-claims peer serving overlapping insurance buyers, and its partnership status makes it both an ally and a potential competitive vector.
• Tractable: Tractable is an AI-first vehicle damage assessment provider used by global insurers to automate claims via computer vision. It is both a competitor to CAB's CAB Smart Damage Analysis and a complementary capability that CAB addresses through its Bdeo Technologies partnership, making it a directly relevant emerging peer.
• Snapsheet: Snapsheet is a US-based claims management and appraisal platform that uses mobile photo capture and AI to streamline auto damage workflows. It targets the same workshop-to-insurer digitization pain point CAB addresses with guided photo flow and Smart Damage Analysis, though with a North American focus.

Broad incumbents

• CCC Intelligent Solutions: CCC is a major US-headquartered provider of claims management, estimating, and AI-driven damage assessment software to insurers and repairers. While geographically anchored in North America, CCC pursues global insurer mandates and represents the scale-incumbent benchmark CAB is benchmarked against for AI claims automation.
• Mitchell International: Mitchell provides auto physical damage claims, estimating, and medical management solutions, with strong presence in North America and expanding European footprint. It overlaps with CAB's CABAS plus workflow products around repairer-insurer transactions, particularly as Mitchell invests in AI-driven claims automation.
• Verisk (Claims Solutions): Verisk's claims solutions unit provides industry-standard property and casualty estimating and analytics, including auto physical damage workflows. While broader than CAB's focus, Verisk competes for insurer technology budgets and represents a strategic threat if it bundles auto claims data with property/analytics offerings.

Regional players

• AudaNet: AudaNet is a German claims-network platform connecting insurers and workshops with standardized data exchange for vehicle damage estimates. It overlaps functionally with CAB's Skadesvar/E-faktura integrations in another regional market, providing a useful comparator on how a national claims-data exchange can be operated at scale.
• Eurotax (Autovit/Glass's): Eurotax provides vehicle valuation, technical data, and repair cost references across several European markets. It overlaps with CAB's CABAS and CAB Analytic Time System in supplying standardized vehicle and repair data to insurers and OEMs, and serves as a regional comparator for European automotive data services.

Direct peers

• Audatex (Solera): Solera's Audatex is the dominant European vehicle damage calculation and claims estimation platform, used by insurers and workshops across multiple markets. It is CAB's principal global competitor in standardized repair time calculation, addressing the same workshops-to-insurer workflow with comparable product surface area.
• DAT Group (Deutsche Automobil Treuhand): DAT is the German market leader for vehicle valuation, repair cost calculation, and technical automotive data, serving insurers, workshops, and fleets. It directly competes with CAB's CABAS in standardized automotive repair and valuation data services, particularly in the German-speaking OEM and insurance ecosystem.
