# Collision Sciences > Vehicle black\-box data for insurance claims investigation and fraud detection ## At a glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Category | Claims Technology | | Type | Solutions Provider | | Region | NA | | Headquarters | Mississauga, Ontario, Canada | | Founded | 2015 | | Stage | Growth | | Employees | 11-50 | | Funding | Bootstrapped | ## Overview Collision Sciences is a claims technology provider for property and casualty insurance carriers that delivers vehicle Event Data Recorder (EDR) data -- commonly called black-box data -- to support claims investigation, fraud detection, and liability assessment on motor vehicle losses. The company's core platform, CrashScan, is a mobile app-based tool that retrieves pre-crash data from a vehicle's OBD-II port and transmits it to a cloud analytics platform for processing. The solution supports automated detection across more than 5,000 vehicle models and includes hardware, user training, technician certification, customizable reporting, and engineering technical support. This approach makes EDR data collection accessible across a broad range of claims at a fraction of the cost of traditional forensic investigation services. Collision Sciences operates as a bootstrapped, privately held company. The company has established a strategic integration with Duck Creek Technologies, making CrashScan data available to carriers using Duck Creek's SaaS-based claims platform through the Duck Creek Content Exchange. In June 2025, Bosch prevailed in arbitration against Collision Sciences over alleged unauthorized use of Bosch's Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) Tool Software, a legal outcome that may affect the product's vehicle support roadmap. ## Products & services ### CrashScan CrashScan is a universal mobile EDR solution that retrieves pre-crash data from vehicle black boxes via the OBD-II port and delivers it to a cloud analytics platform for claims investigation purposes. **Key features:** - Mobile app\-based data collection compatible with 5,000\+ vehicle models - Affordable OBD\-II scanning hardware included - User training and technician certification program - Customizable cloud data analysis and strategic alerting - Engineering technical support for complex reconstruction cases *Target users:* Claims investigators and adjusters at insurance carriers and corporations managing vehicle fleets ### Claims Investigation Services Supporting services for motor vehicle incident analysis, including forensic reconstruction, diagnostic repair data analysis, and biomechanical injury severity risk assessment. **Key features:** - Claims reports and engineering support - Vehicle EDR compatibility checking - Biomechanical injury severity risk analysis - Forensic reconstruction of motor vehicle incidents *Target users:* Insurance carriers handling bodily injury and liability claims ## Category & focus - Subcategories: Fraud Detection, Claims Investigation, Vehicle Data, EDR Analytics - Insurance verticals: P&C Personal, P&C Commercial - Target customers: Carriers, TPAs ## Notable customers - Insurance carriers using Duck Creek Technologies claims platform \(via Duck Creek Content Exchange integration\) ## Links - Website: - Directory profile: - Crashscan \(ios\): - Crashscan \(android\): - Vehicle support check: --- *Last updated: 2026\-06\-08*
