David Vella, managing director at GT Motive UK, speaks about his firm’s entry for the Excellence in Claims Technology award

1. Why did you put yourselves forward for the Excellence in Claims Technology category?

The entry was submitted because GT Motive delivers a genuinely different way of navigating image recognition during the estimation process.

Rather than locking work providers into a single supplier, its agnostic approach gives them freedom, accuracy and efficiency from the outset of the claim.

By translating data from all partners into one assessment, it enables faster triage, earlier parts visibility and more informed repair decisions.

This flexible and collaborative model reflects how the industry should operate and the business is proud to champion a proposition that benefits repairers, work providers and policyholders simultaneously.

2. What do you think makes your entry stand out and why should you win the award?

GT Motive stands out because it integrates with every major AI provider and enhances their outputs rather than competing with them.

Its translation layer, GT Fusion, ensures accuracy aligned to VIN-specific data, delivering reliable parts pricing, part numbers and early procurement insight.

Repairers gain actionable information before the vehicle arrives and work providers retain complete choice over preferred technology partners.

This ability to unify, elevate and futureproof estimatics processes is unique in the market and delivers measurable improvement across accuracy, cost control and customer outcomes.

3. What would winning this award mean to you and your firm?

Winning this award would recognise the value of GT Motive’s collaborative, agnostic approach and the work of the teams that have shaped the business.

It would also validate the trust placed in it by insurers, repairers and accident management partners that rely on its technology to improve operations.

Most importantly, it would highlight the importance of open integration in a rapidly evolving claims landscape, reinforcing a commitment to innovation and collaboration that genuinely benefits customers and the wider industry.
