The company, founded in 2021, has completed over 1 million vehicle inspections for rental fleets, automotive finance companies, and marketplaces, with Stellantis' financial services arm among its customers. Its platform guides users through photographing a vehicle, compares images against a large dataset of damaged vehicles, and generates detailed PDF inspection reports with repair cost estimates. The startup claims its platform has helped customers save over $80 million in costs and 300,000 operational hours. Funds will be used to expand product offerings, grow enterprise customers, and enter European markets. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
