About Vehicle Inspection System

Before developing the vehicle inspection system, the entire process of inspecting a vehicle was manual and paper based. Also, there were multiple stages involved to complete a single inspection. In addition, it used to consume a lot of time of customers and the business owner. So, he wanted to take the whole process online and eliminate the paper-based work. He approached us with his idea and we provided a solution.

The Challenges Faced by the Users in the Car Inspection Market

When users were looking for a platform that can test and inspect a vehicle, the following problems were faced.

Since there was no cloud-based report synching, the entire vehicle inspection process was on paper-based documents, the trained specialists present on the field for inspection were needed to send documents to the office. This way, it used to create delays in the entire inspection journey.

There was a lack of trained specialists on the available vehicle inspection platforms, therefore, it was difficult for users to get the specialists to inspect their vehicle properly and with standard procedure.

In most available vehicle inspection systems, the mechanical workshops and insurance inspectors need to co-ordinate for different processes. So, our client took this entire process digital to reduce paper work, human errors, and storing data securely online.
