A handover should leave a record.
Disputes about a vehicle usually rest on an absence. Nobody recorded its condition when it changed hands.
A vehicle changes hands many times in its life. Delivered, collected, hired, returned, left at a garage, moved between sites. Each is a transfer of responsibility. Most are recorded poorly, or not at all.
Recording a vehicle properly on a forecourt, in poor weather, with a customer waiting, is difficult. Paper forms are completed afterwards from memory. Photographs accumulate in a camera roll with nothing to connect them to a vehicle. A record held in three places is not a record.
Our work is narrow. Make capture fast enough and consistent enough that it is done every time, by whoever holds the keys, on the phone they already carry, without training and without a signal.
Everything follows from that. A good capture makes a good document, and a good document makes the conversation afterwards a short one.
How we build.
Four principles, held to when they cost us a feature.
The record is the product
Each decision is measured against one question. Does this make the record more complete, or easier to produce? Features that do neither are not built.
It has to work where the cars are
Underground car parks, rural forecourts, compounds behind a steel fence. Capture works with no signal and syncs when one returns. A handover cannot wait for reception.
We collect as little as we can
A name, an email address, a company name, and the handovers you make. No location, no contacts, no advertising profile. There is nothing we sell and no one we sell it to.
We say only what we can stand behind
It is easy to claim a record is tamper-proof, or that it will settle a dispute. Those claims carry consequences. We prefer to describe what the app does and let it be judged on that.
