# WHY PAVE?

## Why Use PAVE at Your Dealership? 

On average, your trade appraisal process can take up to 30 minutes and rarely includes accurate condition reports, leading to inconsistencies, low productivity and often frustrating customer experiences. By automating every car's inspection, your dealership removes friction and allows you to put your best value on every vehicle in a blink.

> Each of your dealership's best used car experts can only effectively complete two trade-ins appraisals an hour when using traditional methods.

**Our early adopter dealers have also discovered that PAVE is most effective at empowering your customers to have an automated appraisal completed by the tool when they are not at your dealership. Providing them with an authentic self-generated assessment by only taking photos gives them more confidence in your quote over everyone else's. That is what they want beyond even getting more money for their trade.**

PAVE's easy to follow vehicle capture experience guides anyone to take 13 specific photos within 3 minutes. These photos are simultaneously analyzed by PAVE and deliver a detailed grading and condition report directly to your experts the moment the capture is complete. Get all the information you need to make an appraisal decision in under a minute - down from thirty - gaining 30x the capacity out of your best-used car experts, with no bottlenecks.

Best of all, the way you will appraise vehicles will be omnipresent which is where your customers already are.

These omnipresent customers also hate forms. PAVE replaces your online forms with picture taking instead - and everyone loves using their camera.

#### PAVE is a simple, fast and guided process.

With PAVE, anyone with a smartphone can complete a guided vehicle inspection in 5 minutes or less.

Users follow the steps capturing photos and the PAVE API takes care of the rest. Plus, they can add any disclosures easily, so you know everything you need to about their car.
