VINSCAN BAR CODE

It is hard to imagine a greater waste of time than inventorying a dealership lot with a yellow pad trying to accurately record 17 digit alpha/ numeric serial numbers and then manually comparing them to a print out to determine what cars are missing. VinScan automates this reconciliation; a lot faster and more accurately than the yellow pad.

Our system works with all the dealership inventory systems including ADP, Reynolds, Automate, AutoSoft, Dealertrack and Quorum management systems. We can also reconcile inventory files downloaded from Ally Bank as well as other floor plan providers. We also provide solutions for other inventory systems.

This system is easy enough for any lot person to use and is compatible with Ford, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, Mazda, Subaru, VW, Suzuki, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, heavy duty trucks, motorcycles and Powersport vehicles. If it has a bar code or a place to put one, we can scan it.

We utilize a Honeywell Dolphin portable scanner. This scanner will perform in sunlight and accurately record the bar codes. A location can be added before the first scan. All vehicles scanned will show that location until the location is changed. The Dolphin scanner will also allow the operator to manually record a serial number as well as add a comment to any scan. There are several conditions preprogrammed such as "flat tire", "body damage" and "missing parts". The system will allow the operator to add user-defined comments during the scanning process.

After the scanning process, we download your current inventory information from you dealership computer system into our system. This can be accomplished with an existing terminal and you will not incur any additional port charges from your computer vendor. Our software will compare the scanned vehicles with the vehicle information we downloaded. We will produce an exception report that will list any missing vehicles and any found vehicles that are not recorded in your inventory. In addition, we will list any vehicles scanned with notes along with the note. An additional report will provide a complete listing of all vehicles scanned along with their location. This report will also be priced and show the total dollar value of your inventory.

The special polyester labels we print are especially designed to survive on the outside of the windshield in the rain, in the scorching summer sun and a winter snowstorm. They contain your stock number, the VIN number as well as the make, model and color. These labels are produced using the data from your dealership computer system to insure accurate information. We use an exclusive technology that corrects many of the common errors that occur in most manufacturers bar codes. This technology allows us to successfully read bar codes that other systems are unable to scan.

Lots of average size dealerships as well as some of the largest dealerships in the country use ABS BarCode. We also custom develop parts inventory and vehicle inventory applications. We have hundreds of dealerships installed on our products.

Besides the ease of use, one of the best features of ABS VinScan is the price. We have an advantage because our system does not require a dedicated port from your current DMS. In addition our system sells for a fraction of the cost of other systems.
