“The lot is the source system — the phone is the keyboard.”
Project Overview
The business context
How the engagement started, what was broken, and why a platform investment was required.
Inspectors used paper; photos were incomplete; sales teams waited on desktop re-entry before valuation could start.
Mobile apps power the frontline of vehicle exchange: structured inspections with photo evidence, condition grades, and sales consultant flows that push complete packs to the web valuation desk in minutes.
Every trade-in starts with consistent field data — not sticky notes and ad-hoc camera rolls.
Discovery
We defined mandatory photo sets, grade scales, and VIN capture rules with store managers so mobile submissions would be desk-ready on first try.
Guided photo sets
Offline draft inspections
Instant web sync
Shared grade taxonomy
Business Challenge
What was holding the operation back
Inspectors used paper checklists; photos were incomplete; sales teams could not trigger valuation until someone typed everything into a desktop.
Missing mandatory photos
VIN / condition typos
Delayed handoff to pricing
No GPS / timestamp proof
Sales follow-up outside the system
Inconsistent grade scales
Rework when web desk rejects packs

Business Results
Impact & outcomes
Inspection packs arrived complete and timestamped. Valuation handoff time collapsed. Offer trust improved because evidence quality became consistent.
Mobile is where retail truth is captured. Without it, the web desk prices fiction.
