The deduction, beside the evidence.

A part-exchange figure argued from a clipboard is a negotiation. The same figure shown beside the frame it came from is an explanation.

Customer-facing presentationThe appraisal is evidence shown to the person it is evidence against. Findings are presented plainly, with the still and the price, in your branding.
Fewer walk-awaysDeductions that can be seen are deductions that get accepted. The conversation moves from “why” to “what next”.
A record that survives the dealAppraisal history per registration. A car that comes back is matched against its own earlier appraisal finding by finding — still there, changed, gone or new — by rule rather than by eye.

What the customer sees at the desk

One finding, one still, one price. No jargon in the customer view.

A part-exchange, step by step

  1. STEP 1Film the car on the forecourtA salesperson or appraiser follows the guided route on a phone: plate, odometer, eight panel stops, engine. About a minute, with motion, blur and poor light flagged while there is still time to refilm.
  2. STEP 2Look up the car while it analysesThe registration brings back the car's MOT history from the DVSA, every test and advisory, so last year's advisory is on the desk before the customer sits down. Analysis of the walkaround takes a few minutes.
  3. STEP 3Price the damageEach finding is priced from the repair matrix. Anything without a rate is shown as unpriced, not as zero, so the total never looks smaller than it is.
  4. STEP 4Show the customer the frameTurn the screen round. Each deduction sits beside the still it was seen in and the price put on it, which is an explanation rather than a figure off a clipboard.
  5. STEP 5Keep the recordThe appraisal stays against the registration. If the car comes back, the new appraisal is matched against the old one finding by finding: still there, changed, gone or new.

What it replaces

  • The clipboard walkround and a deduction the customer has to take on trust.
  • Retyping the appraisal into another system before a figure can be given.
  • A car's earlier condition living in one person's memory rather than on its record.

Getting the report out

  • Report PDF, per appraisal, carrying your organisation's colours and logo where a brand is set.
  • An embed for your own website or portal, bound to your domain, in your branding.
  • A partner API with scoped keys, for sending a registration and a video URL and reading the result back.
Questions

What this page gets asked.

Does the customer see the same thing we do?

They see what you show them: the finding, the still it was seen in and the price. The frame is the point. A deduction the customer can look at is easier to accept than one they are asked to believe.

Can the customer film their car before they arrive?

Not today. Sending the guided walkaround to a customer as a link is in development, with no published date, and it is not in the demo. Today the walkaround is filmed by your own team.

What if the car has been appraised before?

Appraisals are kept against the registration, newest first, for the six-month retention window. Two appraisals in your account can be compared finding by finding, by a written rule rather than by eye.

Will the report carry our name?

Yes, where your brand is set up: the PDF and the embed take your colours and logo. The colours that carry meaning, such as an MOT fail in red, are not rebranded, because a document used to justify a price has to read the same everywhere.
