Warranty Inspection Services' VeriScan Tool Aims to Overhaul Inspection Process
RICHMOND, Va. – Warranty Inspection Services, LLC, a provider of mechanical breakdown inspection services to the vehicle service contract industry, has introduced VeriScan, a proprietary tool designed to increase the accuracy, timeliness and thoroughness of mechanical breakdown inspection reports.
VeriScan facilitates encrypted WiFi/cellular transmission of vehicle data (through an OBDii interface), photos and the inspector’s initial written report to WIS’s secure servers. This system will allow the customer to receive more data and more accurate data faster than previously possible.
VeriScan gives customers the ability to see the computer data from the vehicle and to view the written report and photos while taking the verbal report. Any additional photos or report editing required can be completed while taking the verbal report, allowing for clarification of any technical issues, making the verbal report much more accurate.
“I knew that VeriScan would be a significant step forward for the industry; however, after demonstrating its capabilities to numerous administrators and hearing direct feedback from them, I’m confident in saying that VeriScan is quickly going to become the new industry standard," said Chris Rand, co-president of Warranty Inspection Services and C&K Auto Parts. "After all, why would an administrator pay the same money for a slower inspection that provides less information?”
