What Polygrade does with RepairClinic
When a claim needs a part, Polygrade identifies the exact part required from technician notes and homeowner symptom detail, then searches across suppliers including RepairClinic to compare model-matched part listings and pricing.
What Polygrade knows to search for at RepairClinic comes from the homeowner’s own SMS thread, model and serial numbers, photos, and symptom detail collected in a triage conversation with an 80 to 83 percent response rate, not a technician’s guess after the fact.
Polygrade validates fit against the specific appliance model before ordering, places the order with whichever supplier, RepairClinic or another in the comparison, offers the best combination of price, fit, and shipping, then tracks it through delivery and return.
