Developed on the .Net framework, this handheld solution allows a
vehicle to be barcoded and fully inspected at time of
collection.
A graphical vehicle splat allows damage details to be recorded and
costed. Supporting pictures can be taken of the vehicle
highlighting any refurb requirement.
The customer's signature can be recorded and a printed inspection
report left with the customer detailing any damage or additional
charges.
The resultant inspection report can be emailed direct to the
vendor providing an end to end paperless solution.
Barcoding: The barcode system allows a pre printed barcode to be
attached to a vehicle at the point of arrival. The barcode is then
scanned using a handheld and the user enters the vehicle's VRM. The
handheld queries Auction Manager for details of the vehicle. If the
vehicle is not found on Auction Manager, the handheld connects to
Experian to obtain vehicle details. The user then enters additional
information such as the vendor, the collection agent etc.
When the vehicle exits the site, the barcode is scanned and
Auction Manager updated with the offsite date. Additionally as the
vehicle moves around within the site, the barcode can be scanned to
provide an up to date location for the vehicle.
The handheld also allows physical stock takes to be done, and
can also be used to 'lot' the auction sale.
