How Scanflow Fits Across the Automotive Lifecycle
From manufacturing and pre-delivery to fleet operations and end-of-life disposal, Scanflow enables continuous VIN serial code traceability at every critical automotive handoff point.
Scan the VIN chassis number at stamping and assembly to link each vehicle to its production batch and PDI records before leaving the factory.
Capture the VIN barcode upon vehicle arrival to instantly populate the DMS and significantly reduce lot walk audit times.
Scan the VIN text at point of incident every capture is timestamped, geotagged, and stored as tamper-evident evidence for the claim.
Fleet operators, rental companies, and salvage teams scan VIN serial codes for asset tracking, compliance reporting, and disposal records even offline.
Beyond VIN — The Full Automotive Data Capture Cycle
VIN Scanning
Capture VIN barcodes, etched chassis numbers, and windshield serials across dealerships, fleets, and claims.
Tire & DOT Scanning
Read tire sidewall DOT codes, brand markings, and size specifications for inventory, inspection, and compliance.
Odometer Reading
Capture odometer data via OCR from analog and digital dashboards for service records, vehicle valuations, and lease compliance.
ANPR / License Plate
Automatic number plate recognition for vehicle entry, exit, and identity verification across parking facilities and checkpoints.
Asset Label & Barcode
Scan QR/2D barcodes and asset labels attached to parts, pallets, and inventory items for tracking.
Integration & Deployment
Integration
Mobile SDK
Native frameworks for iOS, Android, React Native & Flutter embed VIN capture for barcodes and text etched on VIN plates, chassis, windshields, and side doors, without dedicated hardware.
DMS & Fleet APIs
Push verified scan VIN barcode records directly to your DMS, fleet platform, or CRM in real time.
Deployment
Offline- first processing
All VIN data is scanned and inferred on-device (mobile edge). The SDK runs in low or no-connectivity environments, syncing records to your ERP or cloud automatically via background sync.
Enterprise Security
End-to-end encryption with on-premise deployment options. The SDK does not store any data on the device; it immediately wipes all captured barcode and scanned text image data after inferring the VIN and returning the result.
