VMOTEK

Inspection evidence

Digital inspections that turn findings into authorized work

Capture what the customer reported, what the technician found and what was approved without losing the evidence between intake, estimate and work order.

VMOTEK separates the customer's original concern from technician-discovered findings. A published inspection template guides the check, while notes, photos, severity and recommendations remain connected to the vehicle. Advisors can price a finding, obtain a recorded decision and move only authorized work into execution.

The problem

A checklist is useful only when the finding reaches the next decision

Paper checks and disconnected photos may document a vehicle, but they do not reliably tell an advisor what requires pricing or prove what the customer approved.

  • Customer complaints rewritten until their original meaning is lost.
  • Inspection photos stored outside the vehicle and repair record.
  • Technician findings that never become an advisor recommendation.
  • Changed templates that make an older inspection difficult to explain.
