Steps
Register your application with CCC Secure Share and obtain CIECA membership — both are prerequisites CCC requires before issuing API credentials and documentation for the Secure Share channel.
Go through CCC's app review process for the integration.
Build the integration to send/receive estimate, assignment, and status data using the CIECA BMS (XML) message standard, which CIECA maintains as its current flagship data standard for the collision repair industry.
Confirm with each trading partner whether they use BMS or the older CIECA EMS format for estimate data exchange — CIECA has not withdrawn EMS from industry use even though it has not been updated since 2006 and is not under further active development.
Test end-to-end message exchange (estimate creation, revisions, status updates) in CCC's non-production environment before go-live.
Known gotchas
Both BMS and legacy EMS remain in active use across the collision repair industry — don't assume every trading partner has migrated to BMS; confirm the expected format per partner.
CIECA membership plus CCC's app-review gate can add significant lead time before API credentials are issued, so build this into your integration timeline.
