AI damage detection & management for Vehicle Logistics
Focalx gives OEMs and orchestrators one place to see where vehicles were damaged, how they were secured, and who is responsible – across yards, rail, and carriers.
Trusted across industries
Benefits
Why vehicle logistics teams choose Focalx
Focalx specializes in logistics workflows and reporting
Automatic AIAG / ECG coding at capture
Detecting damage is not enough if it isn’t coded correctly. Focalx detects damage and automatically maps it to M22 codes the moment the photo is taken – so reports can flow straight into OEM and claims systems without manual rework.
Workflows for real inspection events
Built around how inspections actually happen in finished vehicle logistics, from handover and transport to delivery, ensuring every event is captured with the right context, responsibility, and traceability.
Mobile and Hardware capture integrated
Collect inspection data using mobile devices and fixed hardware in one unified system, giving full coverage across yards, terminals, gates, and transport operations.
More Accurate AIAG compliance
The leading damage management platform for Vehicle Logistics
Inspect: AI vehicle & securement inspections
Detect when vehicles get damaged or when they’ve been incorrectly secured.
Stream: automated workflows
Automate tasks after inspections, internally and across collaborating companies, so issues are resolved faster.
Recover: faster claim adjudication
Auto-sync inspection and damage data directly into claims systems and forms for faster, more accurate adjudication.
Don’t pay for damage you didn’t cause

Source of truth
One source of truth for damage and securement
Focalx provides photo and data evidence that vehicles are damage-free and properly secured at each inspection event. Every inspection is tied to VIN, time, place, and responsible party – making it easier to agree on liability and resolve disputes quickly.
- Photo evidence for every inspection
- History per VIN across your supply chain
- Clear separation of responsibility at each handover
Custom damage definitions
Different sectors use different standards. Focalx adapts to your coding and applies it consistently at scale.
Severity mapping
Define what counts as damage for your business, or use multi-level scales. Focalx maps AI output to your catefories, mathing how your teams already work.
Industry-standard codebooks
Focalx applies the codes automatically at the moment of capture:
- AIAG / ECG for FVL
- Leasing / remarketing scales such as K1–K5
- Internal custom codes for rental, fleet, or insurance
Multi-standard support
Run different standards in parallel across business units or regions if needed – the platform keeps them separate but comparable.
Partnership

Platform
Use cases in finished vehicle logistics
Focalx is built for the entire vehicle logistics chain – but you can start with the parts you control today.
Yard operations
Standardized inspections and handover workflows inside your yards and compounds.
Rail operations
Railcar workflows for damage, spacing, securement exceptions, and seal numbers.
Haulway operations
Inspections every time a carrier picks up or delivers a vehicle, tied to VIN and responsibility.
Gate operations
Use phones where you want flexibility – gates where you want automation
