Get in Contact

Receive / ingate vehicles

Vehicle information can be uploaded from the OEM prior to arrival, though vehicles are not required to be uploaded prior to and records can also be created at the time the vehicle is received.
VINs that exist in the ICL database are decoded when scanned in via the mobile app. Included in our roadmap, look forward to VIN decoding for all VINs including those not in the ICL database as well as VIN decoding for incoming data uploads.
VIN barcodes can be scanned in or the VINs can be manually entered from the mobile or from the website if necessary. The gate-in event will be transmitted to ICL’s VLMS solution and interfaces can be established to.

Visual inspections

Inspection entry leverages the AIAG Global Standard Damage Codes and vehicle condition can be reported as clean or damaged.
Select the Damage Area from a vehicle schematic to filter down the allowable codes for that specific area of the vehicle and then require users to select the Area, Type and Severity. Multiple damages can be captured per vehicle.
Capture photos directly from the device’s camera and pinpoint damage location with a mark on a schematic and add text comments as needed. Information is transmitted to ICL’s VLMS solution and interfaces can be established to other systems and to OEMs directly.

Bay / park vehicles

Bay locations for the yard are established and maintained via the website and is assigned and updated on a per vehicle basis by the user. The system will confirm if the location entered by the user is valid and available.
Included in our roadmap, look forward to preset bay locations for guiding the user where to park a vehicle and dynamic bay location suggestions.
The parking location update is transmitted to ICL’s VLMS solution and interfaces can be established to other systems and to OEMs directly.

Stage / ship vehicles

A group of vehicles can be staged for shipment easily within the app. Once showing on the Shipping screen, from there can be out-gated together when ready. Included in our roadmap, look forward to communications with truck and rail vendors.
Or bypass the staging process and out-gate by scanning the VIN first and then selecting the out-gate function from the vehicle menu. Once a vehicle is out-gated the vehicle status will be updated and the vehicle removed from yard inventory.
A manual shipment web screen can also be used to outgate vehicles. Out-gate information is transmitted to ICL’s VLMS solution and interfaces can be established to other systems and to OEMs directly.

Driveaway capabilities

The driveaway feature is available to the yard but can also be hidden from the menu if it is not a feature that will be used.
The pickup and drop-off locations for driveaways are defined by the customer and preset with the SPLC and other location information; the user will not have access to changing this in the app.
The user will scan a VIN barcode, select start and end points and then perform a visual inspection, noting any damages found before starting the driveaway. Ending the driveaway will automatically navigate to the gate-in flow if it recognizes it as the current yard.
Driveaway information is transmitted to ICL’s VLMS solution and interfaces can be established to other systems and to OEMs directly.
