As dealers know, staying ahead means adopting the latest technology. A game-changing development in this space is the partnership between UVeye’s AI-driven inspection systems and myKaarma’s ServiceCart™ Video MPI tools. This dynamic duo is transforming dealership service lanes, making the process more efficient, saving valuable time, and boosting approval rates.
UVeye has made a name for itself with its AI-driven automated vehicle inspection technology. Its systems can quickly detect a variety of issues, including underbody diagnostics such as leaks and rust patterns, tire issues like worn or damaged tires, and exterior problems like scratches and dents. This advanced technology ensures that no detail is missed during vehicle inspections.
On the other hand, myKaarma’s ServiceCart™ Video MPI takes the multi-point inspection process to the next level by transforming it into a consumer-friendly online shopping experience. This allows dealerships to present vehicle service information through videos, images, recommendations, and upfront pricing. Technicians can record high-definition videos, pause and resume as needed, and even scan the vehicle’s VIN with their smartphones for seamless integration.
The integration of these two powerful technologies ensures that UVeye’s detailed inspection data is automatically fed into myKaarma’s platform. This allows dealerships to send comprehensive, easy-to-understand reports directly to customers' phones, boosting transparency and trust.
This streamlined process starts as soon as a vehicle goes through a UVeye inspection system. The AI technology swiftly generates detailed inspection data, which is seamlessly integrated into myKaarma’s platform. This efficient data sharing enables real-time delivery of detailed reports to customers’ smartphones.
For dealerships, this integration translates to significant efficiency gains. The process reduces the need for manual data entry, saving between 10-15 minutes per vehicle. Service advisors and technicians can focus on their core tasks rather than paperwork, improving overall workflow and productivity.
One of the standout benefits of this integration is the enhanced customer experience. Transparency is crucial in building trust, and the real-time inspection reports and video MPIs provide just that. Customers receive a welcome text along with their inspection results, allowing them to review the condition of their vehicle at their convenience.
Visual proof of issues through videos and images helps customers understand the necessity of recommended repairs, leading to quicker and more informed approval decisions. The statistics speak for themselves: dealerships using Technician Videos see a 30% increase in average customer pay value compared to inspections with no media sent to the vehicle owner.
Take the example of #1 Cochran, one of the first dealer groups to benefit from this integration. By providing instant, comprehensive inspection data directly to customers’ phones, they have seen higher customer satisfaction and increased revenue. David Bernardini, Corporate Strategy Director for #1 Cochran, notes, "We anticipate providing our customers with instant, comprehensive inspection data on their phones, significantly boosting transparency and elevating the entire service experience." This real-time sharing of inspection reports has truly transformed their service operations.
The partnership between UVeye and myKaarma is just beginning. Future enhancements are already in the works, including further embedding UVeye’s inspection data into ServiceCart, myKaarma’s Multi-point Inspection solution. This integration promises to offer an even more automated and streamlined experience for dealerships.
Moreover, UVeye plans to integrate its service opportunities into myKaarma’s BDC solution, allowing dealerships to easily contact strong prospects identified by UVeye’s systems.
The integration of UVeye’s AI-powered inspections with myKaarma’s ServiceCart™ Video MPI tools is a game-changer for the automotive service industry. By streamlining the service process and enhancing transparency, dealerships can save time, increase approval rates, and boost customer satisfaction. This partnership sets a new standard for how dealerships communicate with their customers, ensuring every vehicle is inspected thoroughly and every customer is informed.
