Today

Fresh inventory waits for photography, appraisal and data entry before it can appear online — and every rooftop presents it differently.

What changes

  • A consistent visual standard across every rooftop and every photographer.
  • Condition evidence attached to the intake record before preparation begins.
  • Listing-ready imagery without a dedicated physical studio lane.

Where it starts

One endpoint, before you commit to anything.

Standardised imagery is immediately visible to merchandising teams and buyers. It can be tested on existing stock before changing the appraisal workflow.

Where it goes

Then the same capture supports the full stock journey

Once intake and imagery share one vehicle record, the same key can extend into appraisal, merchandising and customer-facing condition evidence.

  • Remote appraisal

    Capture and condition results reach the buyer before the vehicle reaches the preparation bay

  • Complete listings

    Identity and specs fill the fields that normally wait for manual entry

  • Interactive condition

    Damage hotspots and reports give online buyers evidence beyond a photo carousel

  • Stock video

    Generate consistent branded media from the imagery already produced at intake

What we do not claim

CarHub returns evidence, structured data and media assets. Your DMS remains the source of truth for stock status, pricing approval and publication.

Other paths

Same key, different first call.

All four segments →

Marketplaces & DMS

Classifieds, marketplaces, dealer groups and the DMS vendors behind them

Listing photos come from whoever was holding the phone. Six sellers, six driveways, six exposures — one inconsistent results page.

See the path →

Insurance & claims platforms

Insurers, MGAs, claims platforms and the assessors working inside them

A policyholder sends eight photos. An assessor opens them one at a time to decide whether this is a bumper scuff or a total loss.

Rental & vehicle sharing

Rental desks, car-sharing operators and anyone handing over keys at volume

The customer says the scratch was already there. The agent says it wasn’t. Nobody photographed that panel at check-out.

Auctions & logistics

Auction houses, remarketers, transporters and the yards in between

A car changes hands four times between the yard and the buyer, and the only condition record is a paper sheet somebody filled in at dusk.
