Pocket Appraise - Express Vehicle Inspection System

Pocket Appraise Express

Aimed at Vehicle Inspection, Finance, Auction, and Delivery companies who have a requirement to inspect a large number of vehicles for accident or excessive wear and tear damage in order to restore vehicles to an agreed standard condition, or to bill for damage. The system provides unequivocal proof (removed subjectivity of inspections) of damage using digital images, meaning fewer rejections and queries of rectification charges.

Built upon the successful Pocket Appraise product, Pocket Appraise Express is designed for fast inspection of vehicles in an auction or POD environment. Speed enhancements include multi-select of factory fit options, input of high level vehicle data only, and fast specification of damage and parts utilising graphical "flat car" and pop-up menus.

The system electronically captures data regarding the condition of the vehicle, including multiple digital images captured using the built-in digital camera. The entire inspection can then be transmitted to an office based PC instantly using a landline, mobile phone, or cradle.

The following information can be collected and stored:

Customer/collection location (sent from head office)
High-level vehicle data
Damage and parts details
Factory Fit options
Inspection Result

Previous inspections can be retrieved, viewed, and complete summary of vehicles inspected, including costs, can be printed direct from the device to a portable printer.
