iBodyshop

What iBodyshop does

iBodyshop is a cloud-based SaaS estimating and bodyshop management system designed for collision repair (smash repair) businesses. It is a product brand of Clear21, an Australian software company that has operated in the bodyshop software vertical for more than 30 years and developed iBodyshop over a period exceeding seven years with a dedicated in-house software development team of more than 40 people based in Australia. The platform serves sole-trader bodyshops through to large multi-site operations across Australia and New Zealand, with no support outside those geographies.

The product is a multi-module SaaS platform covering estimating (with three methods — Basic, Tagging and NTAR), parts sourcing via RepairConnection, bodyshop-specific integrated accounting with drill-down, planning, administration, mobile workflow (iOS, Android and Windows apps for photo capture, time recording, parts status and analytics), and digital imaging with annotation. It runs on AWS data centres certified to PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, with SOC 3 reporting, automated multi-daily backups and multiple availability zones, and offers a 95% uptime SLA. It integrates with major Australian and New Zealand insurers and work providers (Audatex, IAG O.R.M., Suncorp P-Net, Stelvio Estimage, A.R.N.I.E.), accounting platforms (MYOB, MoneyWorks, Xero) and approved plug-in partners (Compass Claims, OEC, PlanningPlus, WebTRIM, PartsCheck).

iBodyshop monetises via monthly direct-debit subscriptions on four published tiers (Lite at $110 AUD, Standard at $305 AUD, Professional at $595 AUD, Premium at $895 AUD, excluding GST), with a 30-day free trial that does not require a credit card and a range of paid optional add-on modules (Audatex, AudaWatch, RepX, NTAR Pro, IAG Invoice Batching Wizard, Inventory Management, Estimate Transfer). Go-to-market is primarily product-led via the website, supported by inside sales (AU 1300 361 541, NZ 07 949 9263), online demonstrations and managed changeover services from competitor systems. The company is privately held, does not disclose external funding, and presents itself as bootstrapped and self-funded by Clear21, with no disclosed M&A, leadership changes, or institutional investment.

Broad incumbents

• Mitchell International: Mitchell provides Mitchell Cloud Estimating and shop management solutions to North American collision repairers and insurers. Closely comparable product category, insurer integration pattern, and shop-management workflow as iBodyshop.
• Solera Holdings: Solera owns a portfolio of automotive claims, estimating, and fleet software assets (Audatex, AudaNet, Hollander). Comparable as the broader holding-company ecosystem serving insurers and repairers, with multiple overlapping modules to iBodyshop.

Direct peers

Others

Comparable shop-side workflow software with deep insurer ties, similar to iBodyshop's positioning.
