Fleet companies and car rental businesses may cater to varied fleet clients, yet they share a familiar challenge.
When a vehicle is returned or delivered with unreported damage, the question arises: is it the fault of the customer, the service provider, or a joint oversight in record-keeping?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to settle these common and troublesome conflicts that often lead to undesirable expenditures, absorbed losses, or the need for arbitration — a process dreaded by all parties involved.
The approach involves setting up cameras at vehicle pickup and drop-off points to take precise images, which are then processed using AI algorithms that automatically spot damage. If any issues like dents or scratches are detected, the system notifies the staff. Additionally, it generates an exhaustive report detailing the damages, necessary actions, and the labor hours needed for each task, whether it's repair or replacement.
