Click-Ins is partnering with Turn Automotive to bring its patented artificial intelligence-powered vehicle inspection platform to Turn’s digital wholesale marketplace for dealers and consumers.

The collaboration will use Click-Ins’ technology to augment Turn’s appraisal process.

“We went into the discussions with Click-Ins having tested nearly every solution in the market,” Turn Automotive founder Marc Steiner said. “We were apprehensive — there have been so many false claims in sales pitches from those other companies. Click-Ins is the only company that had technology that lived up to exactly what they said, and they can scale as we grow without issue.

“The Click-ins solution adds no additional steps to our current process. By taking the already existing images required in our appraisal process the Click-ins technology automatically detects the damage and does all the work for our users.”

Click-Ins’ fully automated AI-driven approach to vehicle condition analysis and damage assessment is designed to provide real-time damage detection and feedback. The company said the system turns vehicle photos into detailed inspection reports.

Turn’s technology is designed to allow dealers to receive offers on vehicles driven by “real people,” as well as giving consumers the ability to receive offers in their driveway by following a simple appraisal process. If the offer is accepted, Turn coordinates transport, payment and title work from the consumer’s driveway.

The companies said the partnership will result in enhanced and more profitable sourcing for dealers, Increased transparency and accuracy on the Turn marketplace with damage polygon overlays and automated damage detection, and the ability for consumers and dealers to interact with AI in the fully integrated offering.

Click-Ins CEO Josh Parsons said his company is “truly honored” to be chosen by Turn as a partner “to contribute to enhancing their already user-friendly platform and to continue driving innovation together. Their technology is developed by individuals with deep industry roots and a genuine understanding of the automotive sector, as well as the challenges faced by both dealers and consumers.”
