At Automechanika Frankfurt 2024, TecRMI introduced the Direct Acceptance Check — a digital solution designed to optimise the vehicle intake process. It marked an important step towards more transparent, efficient, and structured workshop workflows.
Today, this capability has evolved into something bigger. With TecRMI Vehicle Check, we are extending this approach beyond the vehicle intake, transforming individual inspection moments into a fully integrated, modular inspection solution that supports the entire workshop process.
Why Vehicle Inspections Need to Evolve
Vehicle inspections are one of the most valuable touchpoints in the workshop journey. Whether at vehicle intake, during seasonal campaigns, or as part of safety checks, they create opportunities to:
• Identify maintenance and repair needs early
• Improve customer transparency and trust
• Generate additional service and parts sales
However, many workshops still rely on paper-based or inconsistent processes — leading to missed opportunities, unclear documentation, and inefficiencies.
From a Single Check to a Complete Inspection Framework
The Direct Acceptance Check focused on one critical moment: the vehicle intake. It enabled workshops to document vehicle condition, avoid disputes, and identify additional work right from the start.
With TecRMI Vehicle Check, this concept is now expanded into a comprehensive digital inspection framework.
Workshops can go beyond intake checks and perform:
• Direct Acceptance Checks
• Seasonal inspections (e.g. Spring or Vacation Checks)
• Safety and condition checks
• Specialised inspections (e.g. convertible roofs, trailers, water entry)
All within one structured, guided solution.
Structured, Guided and Fully Digital
TecRMI Vehicle Check digitises and standardises the inspection process.
Instead of disconnected workflows, workshops benefit from:
• Guided step-by-step inspections across all key vehicle areas
• Digital documentation with photo capture
• Automatic summary reports for customers
• Consistent, traceable inspection results
This ensures that every inspection is carried out professionally — and nothing is overlooked.
Turning Inspections into Business Opportunities
A key advantage of moving to digital Vehicle Check’s is the ability to systematically identify additional service potential.
By structuring inspections across multiple scenarios, workshops can:
• Detect wear and damage earlier
• Provide accurate, data-based quotations
• Increase upselling and cross-selling opportunities
• Improve workshop efficiency and profitability
At the same time, transparent reporting strengthens customer trust and supports better decision-making.
Connected to the TecRMI Ecosystem
TecRMI Vehicle Check is not a standalone tool — it is part of a broader, integrated ecosystem.
Inspection results can be directly linked to:
• Labour times and repair data
• Maintenance schedules and Service Finder
• Recalls and service campaigns
• Digital service documentation via TecRMI Service Book
This creates a seamless workflow from vehicle intake to final handover, fully aligned with manufacturer-compliant data and processes.
Enabling Smarter, More Transparent Workshop Processes
TecRMI Vehicle Check empowers workshops to work more efficiently, identify additional service opportunities, and deliver higher service quality.
For distributors and networks, it offers a powerful way to become part of the workshop’s daily workflow — strengthening engagement, loyalty, and long-term business potential.
Because in today’s aftermarket, success is no longer just about having the right data. It’s about turning that data into structured, value-adding processes.
