\n
The international expert organization DEKRA has acquired the majority stake in Spearhead AG from Switzerland. The company is a pioneer in digital solutions for claims management and offers insurers, fleet operators, and car dealerships systems for a completely digital processing of vehicle damages. DEKRA had held a minority stake since 2021; now the shares have been increased to 50.1%.<\/h5>\n

(Stuttgart\/ )\u201cDEKRA has been at the forefront of its services for 100 years \u2013 we are consistently continuing this path,\u201d says Guido Kutschera, Executive Vice President responsible for DEKRA’s business in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. \u201cWe have been closely connected with Spearhead for years, and with the acquisition of the majority, we are sending a clear signal: In digital claims management, DEKRA is and remains a pace-setter and technology leader. Our customers, especially in the insurance sector, are increasingly integrating our digital services into their processes. Here, we combine state-of-the-art technology with decades of expertise in assessments. The result: customized solutions for the claims processing of tomorrow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At the core of Spearhead’s business model are digital processes in the handling of vehicle damages, starting with the rapid and as accurate as possible initial damage report (\u201cFirst Notice of Loss\u201d). With the help of a dynamic questionnaire, digital reporting tools, and, where possible, telematics data, it becomes possible within a very short time to accurately classify a vehicle damage and quickly initiate the next steps. The basis is a vast database of real accident damages and DEKRA damage assessments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two additional members in the Board of Directors<\/span><\/h5>\n

As part of the majority acquisition, DEKRA is also strengthening the strategic management of the company and appointing two additional members to the Board of Directors of Spearhead. In addition to Guido Kutschera, who remains the President of the Board, Friedemann Bausch, Managing Director of DEKRA Automobil GmbH, and Bernd Gr\u00fcninger, Head of Assessments and member of the management of DEKRA Automobil GmbH, will also be represented in the body.<\/span><\/p>\n
