## About the product

Carscan is an **AI-powered vehicle inspection mobile app** for insurance teams, car dealers, repair workshops, and vehicle owners who need fast, consistent damage assessments using a smartphone camera.

Key capabilities include:

- **Computer vision damage detection** for vehicle **exterior, wheels, and glass**, captured through a guided scan.
- **Internal vehicle data capture** by reading **odometer**, selected **engine or gearbox details**, and **dashboard warning icons**.
- **Vehicle identity and fraud checks** using **VIN-to-license matching** plus **geo-tag mapping**.
- **Repair estimate workflow** that supports **real-time repair estimates** and routes jobs to local **repairers, workshops, and service centers** for **competitive quotes**, plus an inspection report that documents damage.

Available on **Web**, **Android**, and **iOS**.

Carscan targets **B2B2C automotive workflows**, supporting insurers (claims and underwriting), dealerships (buy-to-sell assessments), workshops (quoting and lead generation), and consumers (buying, selling, and self-assessment).

It is notable in South Africa and other African markets for enabling a full-vehicle scan in about **30 seconds**, guided by **augmented reality**, and for training its proprietary AI on a dataset of **2 million+ vehicle images** to support consistent inspection data across the value chain.
