What you get back

You receive possible recall matches from connected registers with their source and details for further clarification.

A typical day-to-day use case

At a workshop appointment, the customer VIN is checked automatically against recall registers. A possible match appears to the service adviser before order approval.

The tangible business value

Information that would otherwise need to be searched, transferred and checked repeatedly is available consistently. This shortens processing time and reduces the risk of poor decisions.

  • Saves search, capture or waiting time because the task starts and finishes inside the familiar system.
  • Reduces transfer and matching errors because information is not retyped or reconciled across separate lists.
  • Makes uncertainty and review points visible before they become a wrong approval, order, publication or charge.
