Protractor has released a new web-based digital vehicle inspection (DVI) tool and VIN scanner, according to a press release.
The DVI tool allows repair shops to quickly create detailed multi-point vehicle inspections that include images, video, and descriptions, and to easily share the results with customers.
Features of the DVI tool include comprehensive inspection reports with images and videos and color-coded templates with mileage and VIN that can be updated from the inspection screen. Additionally, the tool does not require costly integrations, multiple vendor logins, or extra fees.
Alongside the DVI tool, the newly-released VIN scanner allows shops to capture a vehicle’s information to be automatically entered into the work order via the mobile app. It allows functionality for 2D and OCR even with vehicles that lack QR code capabilities.
Protractor’s new products will be unveiled to the public at the upcoming AAPEX and SEMA shows in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 31 through November 3.
“Today’s auto shop needs every advantage to succeed, and that starts with efficiency-boosting tech tools such as Protractor DVI,” said Protractor General Manager Cavan Robinson. “This powerful feature will help shops create a thoughtful customer experience that will save time and ultimately increase the average repair order.”
