Vehicle visual operations for dealer groups
Start recon sooner.
Get vehicles online from day zero.
Capture the vehicle once for appraisal, recon and initial listings. Halo sends approved images to the systems your team already uses. After recon, a fresh capture updates the listing.
Move to the dot. Then capture.
Recorded in the Halo Capture app.
01 · Give the next team a head start
The vehicle shouldn’t have to arrive before the work begins.
Photos taken during appraisal can help your recon manager plan repairs, give vendors enough detail to prepare an estimate, and get the first listing ready.
Halo attaches those photos to the VIN and shares the relevant images with each team. Staff update the record when the vehicle changes.
02 · From appraisal to final listing
From appraisal photos to a finished listing.
The appraisal starts the record. Recon teams and vendors use it to prepare the work. Merchandising publishes the initial images, then replaces them after recon and detailing.

What does “day zero” mean?
The day the acquired vehicle is stocked. Initial images can be published once the capture is complete, the set is approved and the destination is connected.
One record. Updated when the vehicle changes.
Reuse current evidence across departments. After recon and detailing, capture the changed condition and approve the final imagery before it replaces the initial set.

Capture up close. Get eight listing views.
Staff follow the targets around the vehicle. Halo checks the coverage and composes the finished exterior views from the close-range captures.
