Inspection Workflow & User Experience
Inspection Flow Overview
A FocalX inspection follows a standardized, end-to-end flow to ensure complete coverage and consistent results across inspectors and locations.
The inspection starts with vehicle identification and guides the user through a structured walk-around. Images are analyzed automatically during capture, after which detected damage is reviewed and confirmed. Once completed, a standardized inspection report is generated and stored for downstream use.
Inspection steps:
- Vehicle identification
- Guided walk-around capture
- Automated damage analysis
- Review and confirmation
- Report generation
Guided Capture & Inspector Experience
FocalX provides real-time, guided capture to ensure inspections are completed correctly, regardless of inspector experience.
The application directs inspectors through required angles and vehicle areas, providing immediate feedback when coverage is missing or images need to be retaken. This reduces variation between inspections and minimizes the risk of missed damage, while keeping the experience fast and easy to follow.
Guided capture allows inspectors to focus on completing the inspection, while the system ensures consistent image quality and documentation standards across all locations.
Re-Inspection & Dispute Handling
FocalX supports re-inspections and side-by-side comparisons to clearly identify changes in vehicle condition over time.
Previous and current inspections can be compared at image and damage level, making it easy to verify when damage occurred. All inspection data is time-stamped and preserved to ensure traceability and support dispute resolution.
This structured comparison capability enables faster dispute handling, reduces manual investigation, and provides defensible evidence for operational and customer-facing decisions.
Quality Control & Review
FocalX includes built-in quality control mechanisms to maintain inspection consistency without slowing down operations.
AI confidence thresholds and review rules can be configured to route selected inspections to supervisors for validation. Review actions are logged to maintain a clear audit trail, while inspectors can continue working without interruption.
This approach balances automation with oversight, ensuring reliable inspection outcomes at scale.
Offline & Scale Readiness
FocalX is designed to operate reliably in real-world conditions, including environments with limited or no connectivity.
Inspections can be completed fully offline, with data securely synchronized once a connection is available. The platform supports consistent performance across multiple sites and high inspection volumes without changes to the inspection process.
This ensures uninterrupted operations and predictable performance as inspection programs scale.
Enterprise Operations & Roles
FocalX supports multi-user operations with role-based access to ensure clear responsibilities and governance across teams and locations.
Inspector, supervisor, and administrator roles can be configured with site-level permissions and centralized oversight. This enables local execution of inspections while maintaining consistent standards and control at an enterprise level.
The platform is designed to scale across organizations without increasing operational complexity.
Performance at Scale
FocalX is built to support high inspection volumes without compromising consistency or usability.
Typical performance metrics include:
- Short inspection completion times
- High inspection completion rates
- Low retake and rework rates
These metrics allow teams to maintain predictable throughput while scaling inspections across multiple locations and operational environments.
AI performance & evidence quality
FocalX uses computer vision models to detect and document visible vehicle damage in a consistent and transparent way.
Captured images are analyzed automatically, with detected damage localized to specific vehicle areas and supported by visual evidence for review.
Damage Detection Coverage
The system detects common exterior damage such as scratches, dents, scuffs, cracks, and wheel damage. Findings are mapped to vehicle panels to support standardized inspection results.
Localization & Assessment
Detected damage is localized within images and associated with vehicle parts. Size and severity indicators are applied to support consistent evaluation and decision-making.
Evidence & Reviewability
Each detection is supported by original images and visual overlays, enabling clear verification by inspectors and reviewers.
Confidence & Control
Confidence thresholds and review rules help balance automation with oversight, reducing false positives while maintaining operational efficiency.
