Vehicle Assessment Automation

Digitise end-to-end vehicle assessments, from initial instruction to final report, with configurable workflows that enforce DVSA standards and eliminate paper-based bottlenecks.

Manual assessments slow down the entire operation

Vehicle assessors still rely on paper forms, spreadsheets, and email chains to capture damage, record mileage, and compile inspection reports. Data is re-keyed multiple times, photos get lost, and reports are delayed, costing your business revenue and customer confidence.

  • Paper-based capture

    Handwritten assessment forms lead to illegible data, missing fields, and hours of re-keying into back-office systems.

  • Inconsistent reporting

    Without standardised templates, assessment quality varies between engineers, creating compliance risks and customer disputes.

  • Photo management chaos

    Images captured on personal devices end up in disparate folders with no link to the vehicle record, delaying report compilation.

  • Slow turnaround times

    Manual handoffs between field assessors, administrators, and clients add days to the assessment lifecycle.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Digital assessment forms

    Configurable mobile forms with mandatory fields, drop-downs, and photo capture ensure every inspection meets your quality standards.

  • Vehicle damage mapping

    Interactive body diagrams let assessors pinpoint damage areas with annotations, automatically populating the final report.

  • Automated report generation

    Completed assessments trigger branded PDF reports with photos, damage summaries, and costings, ready to send within minutes.

  • DVSA compliance checks

    Built-in validation rules flag missing safety items and ensure every assessment aligns with current DVSA standards.

  • Real-time dashboards

    Track assessor productivity, average turnaround times, and assessment volumes across all locations from a single view.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Instruction received

    A new vehicle assessment is created automatically from an inbound instruction via email, API, or portal submission.

  2. Field inspection

    The assessor completes a digital checklist on-site, capturing photos, damage annotations, and mileage readings via a mobile device.

  3. Quality review

    A senior engineer reviews the submission, adds technical notes, and approves or returns the assessment for amendments.

  4. Report delivery

    The branded assessment report is generated automatically and dispatched to the client via email or portal download.

  5. Audit & archive

    All data, photos, and communications are stored against the vehicle record for future reference and regulatory audits.

70%

Faster report turnaround

Automated report generation and digital capture cut assessment-to-report time from days to hours.

100%

Data completeness

Mandatory fields and validation rules eliminate incomplete assessments before they leave the field.

3x

More assessments per day

Removing paper handling and re-keying frees assessors to focus on inspections rather than admin.

Questions about vehicle assessment

Can assessors use the system offline?
Yes. The mobile forms support offline data capture and sync automatically when connectivity is restored, so assessors can work in areas with limited signal.
Does the system integrate with existing DMS platforms?
SwiftCase provides REST APIs and pre-built connectors for popular dealer management systems, enabling smooth data exchange without duplicate entry.
How are assessment templates customised?
Templates are fully configurable via a drag-and-drop form builder. You can add sections, conditional logic, mandatory fields, and branding without developer involvement.
Is the data GDPR compliant?
All personal and vehicle data is stored in UK-based data centres with role-based access controls, encryption at rest, and configurable retention policies.

AutomotiveScheduling

Inspection Scheduling for Automotive

Allocate inspections to the right assessor at the right time with automated scheduling that factors in location, skill set, and capacity.

Scheduling inspections manually wastes hours every day

Coordinators juggle spreadsheets, phone calls, and emails to match inspection requests with available assessors. Double-bookings, missed appointments, and excessive travel times are the inevitable result, frustrating both your team and your customers.

  • Manual diary management

    Coordinators spend hours cross-referencing spreadsheets and calendars to find available assessor slots.

  • Excessive travel time

    Without geographic optimisation, assessors criss-cross regions unnecessarily, reducing the number of inspections completed per day.

  • Double-bookings and no-shows

    Lack of real-time visibility into assessor availability leads to overlapping appointments and missed inspections.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Automated allocation

    New inspection requests are automatically assigned to the nearest available assessor based on postcode, skill set, and current workload.

  • Route optimisation

    Geographic clustering groups nearby inspections together, reducing travel time and fuel costs for field engineers.

  • Real-time availability

    A live calendar view shows every assessor's schedule, making manual overrides quick and conflict-free.

  • Automated notifications

    Customers and assessors receive SMS and email confirmations, reminders, and updates at every stage of the booking.

  • Capacity planning

    Forecast demand by region and time period to ensure you have the right number of assessors where they are needed most.

  • SLA monitoring

    Track time-to-inspection against client SLAs with automated escalation when deadlines approach.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Inspection request received

    A new request arrives via API, email, or portal and is parsed into a structured inspection record with location and vehicle details.

  2. Assessor allocation

    The system identifies the best-fit assessor based on proximity, availability, qualifications, and workload, then assigns the job automatically.

  3. Confirmation & reminders

    Both the customer and assessor receive booking confirmations, followed by automated reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before the appointment.

  4. Inspection completion

    The assessor marks the inspection as complete on-site, triggering the next stage of the workflow: reporting, invoicing, or follow-up.

40%

Less travel time

Geographic clustering and route optimisation cut unnecessary mileage across your assessor network.

95%

On-time inspections

Automated reminders and real-time scheduling virtually eliminate missed appointments.

2hrs

Saved daily per coordinator

Automated allocation removes the manual diary management that consumes coordinator time each morning.

Questions about inspection scheduling

Can we set different SLAs for different clients?
Absolutely. Each client account can have its own SLA rules, escalation paths, and priority weightings, ensuring your highest-value contracts are always serviced first.
Does it support multi-day inspection bookings?
Yes. Jobs that require multiple visits (such as fleet audits) can be scheduled as linked appointments across consecutive days with a single booking reference.
How does geographic allocation work?
The system uses postcode-based proximity calculations to assign the nearest qualified assessor, reducing travel distance and enabling more inspections per day.
AutomotiveDamage Reporting

Damage Reporting Automation

Capture, categorise, and report vehicle damage with standardised digital forms that produce consistent, auditable records every time.

Inconsistent damage records create disputes and delays

When damage is recorded differently by every assessor (using free-text notes, varying terminology, and disorganised photo sets) it becomes impossible to produce reliable reports. Disputes with customers, insurers, and third parties escalate, and your credibility suffers.

  • Inconsistent terminology

    Assessors describe the same damage in different ways, making it difficult to aggregate data or compare reports across your network.

  • Missing photographic evidence

    Photos taken on personal devices are often lost, unnamed, or not linked to the correct vehicle record.

  • Slow report compilation

    Back-office staff spend hours assembling photos, notes, and costings into a presentable format before reports can be issued.

  • Dispute resolution bottlenecks

    Without a clear audit trail, resolving disputes over pre-existing damage versus new damage is time-consuming and costly.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Standardised damage categories

    Pre-defined damage types, severity scales, and location codes ensure every assessor records damage in a consistent, searchable format.

  • Guided photo capture

    The system prompts assessors to capture specific angles and close-ups, auto-tagging each image to the damage entry.

  • Automated costings

    Damage entries are linked to parts and labour rate tables, generating repair cost estimates automatically.

  • Tamper-proof audit trail

    Every edit, photo upload, and status change is timestamped and attributed, creating an immutable record for dispute resolution.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Damage identified

    The assessor selects the affected panel or component from an interactive vehicle diagram and logs the damage type and severity.

  2. Photo capture

    Guided prompts ensure the assessor captures wide-angle, mid-range, and close-up photos for each damage area.

  3. Cost estimation

    The system calculates an indicative repair cost based on damage category, parts pricing, and regional labour rates.

  4. Report generation

    A comprehensive damage report is compiled automatically, including annotated diagrams, photos, costings, and assessor notes.

  5. Client delivery

    The finished report is dispatched to the instructing party via secure portal or email, with full audit trail retained.

85%

Fewer reporting disputes

Standardised categories and photographic evidence drastically reduce disagreements over damage condition.

60%

Faster report compilation

Automated assembly of photos, damage entries, and costings eliminates manual report building.

100%

Photo traceability

Every image is linked to a specific damage entry, vehicle, and assessment. No more lost or misattributed photos.

Questions about damage reporting

Can we customise the damage categories?
Yes. The damage taxonomy is fully configurable: you can add, rename, or reorganise categories, severity levels, and location codes to match your operational terminology.
Does the system support video capture?
Assessors can record short video clips alongside photos. Videos are compressed, tagged, and stored against the vehicle record like any other evidence.
How are repair costs calculated?
Costings are driven by configurable rate tables for parts and labour. You can maintain multiple rate cards for different repairers, regions, or client agreements.
AutomotiveFleet Management

Fleet Management Automation

Manage your entire fleet lifecycle, from acquisition through maintenance to disposal, with automated workflows that keep every vehicle compliant and road-ready.

Keeping a fleet compliant is a full-time job

Fleet managers juggle MOT dates, service intervals, insurance renewals, DVLA notifications, and driver licence checks across hundreds or thousands of vehicles. When any of these slip through the cracks, the consequences range from roadside prohibitions to operator licence revocation.

  • Scattered vehicle records

    Critical fleet data lives in spreadsheets, filing cabinets, and multiple disconnected systems, making it hard to get a single view of any vehicle.

  • Missed compliance deadlines

    Without automated reminders, MOT expiry dates, tax renewals, and service intervals are easily overlooked.

  • Manual driver checks

    Verifying driver licences, endorsements, and CPC certificates is a repetitive, error-prone task when done manually.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Centralised vehicle register

    Every vehicle in your fleet has a single digital record containing registration details, compliance dates, maintenance history, and assigned driver.

  • Automated compliance alerts

    The system triggers reminders at configurable intervals before MOT, tax, insurance, and service deadlines, escalating to managers if action is not taken.

  • Driver licence validation

    Automated DVLA licence checks verify driver entitlements, endorsements, and penalty points on a scheduled basis.

  • Cost tracking & analysis

    Track fuel, maintenance, and total cost of ownership per vehicle to identify underperforming assets and optimise fleet composition.

  • Maintenance scheduling

    Service intervals are tracked by mileage or date, with automatic work-order creation when a service is due.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Vehicle onboarding

    New vehicles are added to the register with V5C details, photos, and initial compliance dates, either manually or via bulk import.

  2. Ongoing compliance monitoring

    The system continuously monitors MOT, tax, insurance, and service dates, sending automated alerts as deadlines approach.

  3. Maintenance & repairs

    When a service or repair is due, a work order is created and assigned to the appropriate garage or in-house workshop.

  4. Driver management

    Driver assignments, licence checks, and endorsement monitoring are handled automatically with results logged against the driver profile.

  5. Disposal & de-fleet

    End-of-life vehicles follow a structured disposal workflow covering DVLA notifications, asset write-off, and final condition reporting.

100%

Compliance visibility

A single dashboard shows every vehicle's MOT, tax, insurance, and service status in real time.

30%

Lower maintenance costs

Proactive scheduling and cost analysis reduce unplanned breakdowns and extend vehicle lifecycles.

0

How are driver licence checks performed?
SwiftCase supports automated DVLA licence checking via approved third-party providers, running checks on a configurable schedule and flagging any changes to endorsements or entitlements.
AutomotiveProcurement

Parts Procurement Tracking

Simplify the ordering, tracking, and reconciliation of vehicle parts with automated procurement workflows that reduce delays and control costs.

Parts delays hold up every repair

When parts are ordered by phone or email without a structured process, orders go missing, wrong parts arrive, and vehicles sit idle in workshops waiting for components. The lack of visibility into procurement status creates bottlenecks that ripple through your entire operation.

  • No order visibility

    Workshop staff cannot see whether a part has been ordered, dispatched, or is on backorder, leading to constant chasing and phone calls.

  • Incorrect parts ordered

    Without VIN-linked parts catalogues, wrong components are ordered regularly, causing returns, re-orders, and wasted time.

  • Uncontrolled spend

    Without approval workflows and preferred supplier agreements, parts costs vary wildly and budget overruns go unnoticed.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Structured order workflow

    Parts requests follow a defined path from technician request through approval to supplier order, with status visible at every stage.

  • VIN-linked parts lookup

    Technicians search for parts by VIN or registration, ensuring the correct component is identified before the order is placed.

  • Approval & budget controls

    Orders above configurable thresholds require manager approval, and spend is tracked against job-level and department-level budgets.

  • Supplier lead-time tracking

    Expected delivery dates are recorded against each order line, with automated alerts when parts are overdue.

  • Goods receipt & reconciliation

    Workshop staff confirm receipt of parts against the original order, flagging discrepancies for immediate resolution.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Parts request raised

    A technician creates a parts request linked to a specific job card, selecting the required component from a VIN-matched catalogue.

  2. Approval (if required)

    Orders exceeding the auto-approval threshold are routed to a workshop manager or procurement lead for sign-off.

  3. Supplier order placed

    The approved order is sent to the preferred supplier automatically, with expected delivery dates logged against the job card.

  4. Delivery & receipt

    When parts arrive, workshop staff confirm receipt in the system. Any shortages or incorrect items trigger a discrepancy workflow.

50%

Fewer incorrect orders

VIN-linked lookups and structured requests eliminate the guesswork that leads to wrong parts being ordered.

35%

Faster parts fulfilment

Automated supplier notifications and lead-time tracking reduce the average time from request to delivery.

20%

Parts cost reduction

Approval workflows and preferred supplier routing ensure competitive pricing and controlled spend.

Questions about parts procurement

Can we integrate with our existing parts suppliers?
Yes. SwiftCase supports integration with supplier portals and catalogues via API, email-based ordering, or EDI, so your existing supplier relationships are preserved.
How does the approval workflow work?
You define spend thresholds and approval chains per department or location. Orders below the threshold are auto-approved; those above are routed to the designated approver with full order details.
Can we track parts returns?
Returns follow a structured workflow including reason capture, supplier notification, credit tracking, and restocking, all linked back to the original order.
Does it support multiple supplier accounts?
You can maintain multiple supplier profiles with different pricing agreements, lead times, and preferred status. The system routes orders to the optimal supplier based on your rules.
AutomotiveMOT Compliance

MOT Compliance Tracking

Never miss an MOT deadline again. Automated tracking, reminders, and result recording keep your vehicles legal and your operation audit-ready.

One missed MOT can ground a vehicle, or worse

For fleet operators and dealership groups, tracking MOT expiry dates across hundreds of vehicles is a compliance minefield. A single lapse means an unroadworthy vehicle, potential DVSA enforcement action, and reputational damage. Spreadsheet-based tracking is error-prone and offers no automated escalation when deadlines are missed.

  • Spreadsheet fatigue

    MOT dates maintained in spreadsheets are easily outdated, with no automated alerts when expiry is approaching.

  • DVSA enforcement risk

    Vehicles operating without a valid MOT face prohibition notices, fixed penalties, and potential operator licence consequences.

  • No centralised results record

    MOT pass/fail history, advisory items, and defect records are scattered across paper certificates and the DVSA website.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Automated MOT monitoring

    The system tracks every vehicle's MOT expiry date and sends configurable reminders at 8, 4, and 2 weeks before expiry.

  • Escalation chains

    If an MOT reminder is not actioned, the system escalates to the fleet manager and then to senior management, ensuring no vehicle slips through.

  • Results recording

    MOT results (including advisories and failure items) are recorded against the vehicle record for trend analysis and audit readiness.

  • Compliance dashboard

    A traffic-light dashboard shows fleet-wide MOT status at a glance: green for valid, amber for approaching, red for expired.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Vehicle registered

    When a vehicle is added to the system, its current MOT expiry date is recorded, either manually or via DVSA data lookup.

  2. Reminder sequence triggered

    Automated reminders are sent to the responsible person at configurable intervals before the MOT expiry date.

  3. MOT booked & completed

    The booking is logged in the system. After the test, results are recorded including pass/fail status, advisories, and failure items.

  4. Next cycle set

    The new MOT expiry date is updated automatically, and the reminder cycle restarts for the following year.

0

Expired MOTs

Multi-stage reminders and escalation chains ensure every vehicle is tested before its certificate expires.

100%

Audit readiness

Complete MOT history is stored digitally, ready for DVSA audits or operator licence reviews at any time.

15min

Fleet status review

Managers can assess the MOT compliance status of the entire fleet in minutes rather than hours of spreadsheet checking.

Questions about mot compliance

Can the system pull MOT data from DVSA automatically?
SwiftCase can integrate with the DVSA MOT history API to retrieve test results, expiry dates, and mileage readings automatically, keeping your records in sync.
How far in advance should reminders be set?
Most operators configure reminders at 8, 4, and 2 weeks before expiry, with a final escalation at 1 week. These intervals are fully configurable per fleet or client.
Does it track MOT advisories?
Yes. Advisory items are logged against the vehicle record so you can proactively address potential issues before the next test, improving first-time pass rates.
Can we report on first-time pass rates?
Built-in reporting shows first-time pass rates by vehicle type, age, location, and testing station, helping you identify trends and target preventative maintenance.
AutomotiveDiagnostics

Vehicle Diagnostics Workflow

Capture, track, and act on vehicle diagnostic data within a structured workflow that connects technicians, service advisors, and customers.

Diagnostic data sits in silos, disconnected from action

Modern vehicles generate thousands of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), but this data rarely flows into a structured workflow. Technicians note fault codes on paper, service advisors chase updates by phone, and customers are left waiting without visibility. The result is wasted diagnostic time and inconsistent repair quality.

  • Unstructured fault recording

    DTCs and symptom descriptions are recorded informally, making it hard to track recurring faults or identify patterns across your workshop.

  • No technician decision support

    Without access to historical repair data and known fixes, technicians spend excessive time diagnosing faults that have been solved before.

  • Poor customer communication

    Customers receive no proactive updates during the diagnostic process, leading to phone calls, complaints, and lost trust.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Structured fault capture

    Technicians log DTCs, symptoms, and test results in a standardised format linked to the vehicle's service history.

  • Knowledge base integration

    A searchable library of known faults, technical bulletins, and previous repairs helps technicians diagnose issues faster.

  • Diagnostic workflow stages

    Each diagnostic job follows defined stages (initial scan, investigation, quotation, approval, repair, and retest) with automatic progression.

  • Customer status updates

    Automated SMS and email notifications keep customers informed at each stage of the diagnostic and repair process.

  • Fault trend analysis

    Aggregate diagnostic data across your workshop to identify recurring faults by make, model, age, and mileage band.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Vehicle check-in

    The vehicle is booked in with customer-reported symptoms, mileage, and any warning lights noted by the service advisor.

  2. Initial diagnostic scan

    The technician performs an OBD scan, logs all DTCs, and records any additional observations or test results.

  3. Investigation & quotation

    Using the knowledge base and diagnostic data, the technician identifies the root cause and generates a repair quotation for customer approval.

  4. Repair & retest

    Once approved, the repair is carried out and a post-repair diagnostic scan confirms the fault is resolved.

40%

Faster diagnosis

Knowledge base lookups and structured fault recording reduce the average time from vehicle arrival to diagnosis.

25%

Higher first-time fix rate

Access to historical repair data and known fixes means technicians get it right the first time more often.

90%

Customer satisfaction

Proactive status updates and transparent quotations build trust and reduce inbound enquiry calls.

Questions about vehicle diagnostics

Does it integrate with OBD diagnostic tools?
SwiftCase can receive DTC data from major diagnostic tool providers via API integration, automatically populating fault codes against the vehicle record.
How is the knowledge base maintained?
The knowledge base grows organically as technicians resolve faults and document fixes. Administrators can also add manufacturer technical bulletins and recall information.
Can customers approve repairs online?
Yes. Customers receive a digital quotation via email or SMS with a one-click approval link, speeding up authorisation and reducing phone tag.
Does it support electric vehicle diagnostics?
The workflow supports any vehicle type. Diagnostic forms and fault categories can be configured specifically for EV and hybrid powertrains, including battery health assessments.
AutomotiveBodyshop

Bodyshop Management

Manage bodyshop operations from job booking to vehicle handback with workflows that track repairs, parts, labour, and customer communications in one place.

Bodyshop chaos slows repairs and frustrates customers

Bodyshop managers battle with whiteboard job planners, manual parts ordering, and a constant stream of phone calls from customers wanting updates. Without a digital workflow, repair jobs are delayed, capacity is poorly utilised, and profit margins erode as hidden costs accumulate.

  • Whiteboard-based planning

    Physical job boards provide no real-time visibility and cannot be accessed remotely, making capacity planning guesswork.

  • Unclear job status

    Workshop controllers spend hours chasing technicians for progress updates because there is no centralised status tracking.

  • Customer communication burden

    Customers phone the bodyshop repeatedly for updates, tying up staff who should be managing repairs.

  • Hidden cost overruns

    Without real-time labour and parts cost tracking, jobs exceed estimates without anyone noticing until invoicing.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Digital job board

    A drag-and-drop job planner replaces whiteboards, showing every repair's status, assigned technician, and expected completion date.

  • Labour time tracking

    Technicians clock on and off jobs digitally, giving managers real-time visibility into labour hours versus estimates.

  • Integrated parts management

    Parts requirements are identified during damage assessment and ordered through the integrated procurement workflow, with delivery tracked against the job.

  • Automated customer updates

    Customers receive automated SMS or email notifications when their vehicle reaches key milestones: booked in, parts received, in paint, ready for collection.

  • Job costing & profitability

    Real-time cost tracking compares actual labour, parts, and paint costs against the original estimate, flagging potential overruns early.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Job booking

    A new repair job is created from an insurer instruction, customer booking, or internal referral, with damage details and estimated costs.

  2. Parts ordering

    Required parts are identified from the damage report and ordered through the procurement workflow, with delivery dates tracked.

  3. Repair stages

    The job progresses through configurable stages: strip and assess, panel repair, preparation, paint, reassembly, and quality check.

  4. Quality inspection

    A final quality check ensures all repairs meet standards before the vehicle is released. Any defects are flagged for rework.

  5. Customer handback

    The customer is notified that their vehicle is ready, and collection is arranged. Final invoicing is triggered automatically.

25%

Higher workshop utilisation

Digital job planning and capacity visibility ensure every bay and technician is used effectively.

50%

Fewer customer chase calls

Automated milestone notifications keep customers informed without them needing to phone.

2 days

Faster average repair cycle

AutomotiveLogistics

Vehicle Logistics Tracking

Track every vehicle movement (collections, deliveries, and storage) with end-to-end logistics workflows that provide real-time visibility and accountability.

Losing track of vehicles costs time and money

Whether you are moving vehicles between sites, collecting from customers, or delivering to auction, the logistics process is often managed through phone calls and ad-hoc messages. Without a structured tracking system, vehicles go missing, handover damage is disputed, and customers lose confidence in your operation.

  • No real-time location visibility

    Once a vehicle leaves your premises, you have no reliable way to track its location or estimated arrival time.

  • Handover damage disputes

    Without condition reports at collection and delivery, it is impossible to determine when and where damage occurred during transit.

  • Inefficient driver allocation

    Transport drivers are allocated jobs manually, leading to unnecessary empty runs and poor route planning.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Collection & delivery tracking

    Every vehicle movement is logged with timestamps, driver details, and location data from collection through to final delivery.

  • Digital condition reports

    Drivers complete photographic condition reports at both collection and delivery, creating an indisputable record of vehicle state.

  • Live tracking dashboard

    A map-based dashboard shows the real-time location and status of every vehicle in transit across your operation.

  • Transport scheduling

    Automated scheduling allocates drivers and transporters based on location, capacity, and delivery deadlines.

  • Customer delivery notifications

    Customers receive automated updates when their vehicle is collected, in transit, and delivered, including estimated arrival times.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Movement requested

    A vehicle movement is requested with collection address, delivery address, required dates, and any special instructions.

  2. Driver allocated

    The system assigns a driver or transporter based on location, capacity, and schedule, or flags the job for manual allocation.

  3. Collection & condition report

    The driver arrives at the collection point, completes a photographic condition report, and confirms the vehicle is in their custody.

  4. Delivery & sign-off

    At delivery, a second condition report is completed and the recipient signs off digitally, confirming acceptance of the vehicle.

100%

Movement traceability

Every collection, transit stop, and delivery is logged with timestamps and photographic evidence.

30%

Fewer empty runs

Intelligent scheduling groups movements geographically, reducing the number of empty return journeys.

75%

Fewer damage disputes

Pre- and post-transit condition reports with photos eliminate ambiguity over when damage occurred.

Questions about vehicle logistics

Can we track third-party transport providers?
Yes. External transporters can be given access to the driver app to complete condition reports and status updates, giving you full visibility even when using subcontractors.
Does it integrate with vehicle transporter systems?
SwiftCase supports API integration with major vehicle logistics platforms and can also operate as a standalone tracking solution using its mobile app.
How are condition report disputes resolved?
Each condition report is timestamped and geotagged with photos. In the event of a dispute, the collection and delivery reports provide clear, dated evidence of the vehicle's condition at each handover point.
Can customers track their vehicle in real time?
Customers can receive a tracking link via SMS or email that shows their vehicle's current status and estimated delivery time, reducing inbound enquiry calls.
AutomotiveWarranty Claims

Warranty Claims Management

Capture, validate, and submit manufacturer warranty claims with automated workflows that maximise recovery and minimise admin burden.

Warranty revenue leaks through the cracks

Dealerships and repair groups leave significant revenue on the table because warranty-eligible repairs are not identified, claims are submitted late, or documentation does not meet manufacturer requirements. The result is rejected claims, delayed payments, and lost income.

  • Unidentified warranty repairs

    Service advisors and technicians do not always recognise when a repair falls under manufacturer warranty, leading to missed claims.

  • Incomplete claim submissions

    Manufacturer warranty portals require specific documentation, photos, and fault codes. Missing any element means rejection.

  • Late submissions

    Many manufacturers impose strict filing deadlines. Without automated tracking, claims are submitted late and forfeit.

  • Rejected claim rework

    Rejected claims require investigation, additional documentation, and resubmission, consuming admin time that could be spent on new claims.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Warranty eligibility flags

    The system automatically flags repairs that may be eligible for warranty based on vehicle age, mileage, and component, prompting the service advisor to initiate a claim.

  • Claim documentation builder

    A guided workflow ensures every claim includes the required photos, fault codes, repair descriptions, and parts information before submission.

  • Deadline tracking

The workflow, step by step

  1. Warranty eligibility check

    When a repair is logged, the system checks vehicle age, mileage, and component against warranty criteria and flags eligible items.

  2. Claim preparation

    The warranty administrator assembles the required documentation (photos, DTCs, repair narrative, and parts details) using the guided builder.

  3. Submission & tracking

    The claim is submitted to the manufacturer portal (manually or via integration) and its status is tracked through to decision.

  4. Payment reconciliation

    Approved claims are matched against credit notes and payments received, with any discrepancies flagged for follow-up.

Questions about warranty claims

Does it integrate with manufacturer warranty portals?
SwiftCase can push claim data to manufacturer portals via API where available, or generate pre-formatted submissions for manual upload to portals that do not offer integration.
How does the system identify warranty-eligible repairs?
Eligibility rules are configurable by manufacturer, model range, and component group. When a repair matches the criteria, the system alerts the service advisor and pre-populates a claim template.
Can we track goodwill claims as well as warranty?
Yes. Goodwill, policy, and extended warranty claims can all be managed through the same workflow with separate categorisation and reporting.
How are rejected claims handled?
Rejected claims are returned to the warranty administrator with the manufacturer's rejection reason. The system prompts for additional evidence or amendments before resubmission.
What reporting is available?
Dashboards and exportable reports cover total recovery, claim volumes, acceptance rates, average processing time, and rejection reasons, filterable by site, make, and time period.
