PlateM8

PlateM8 makes vehicle stock checking faster, simpler and more reliable for automotive teams. Designed for dealership and automotive stock-check environments, PlateM8 helps operators quickly identify vehicles on site, record scan information and reconcile physical vehicle stock against data held in the DMS. Using registration plate recognition as the primary method, operators can scan vehicles quickly during a stock check. Where a registration plate cannot be identified, VIN scanning provides an alternative way to identify the vehicle. PlateM8 is designed to support continuous scanning, allowing operators to move from one vehicle to the next without unnecessary interruptions. Each scan can retain important information such as the captured vehicle image, timestamp and location, creating a clear record of the stock-check activity. Reconcile physical stock with DMS data Once scanning is complete, vehicles can be reconciled against the active DMS dataset and grouped into clear outcomes: Matched with DMS: The scanned vehicle matches a vehicle listed in the DMS data. Not Matched with DMS: A vehicle listed in the DMS data was not successfully matched during the stock check. Not Found in DMS: A vehicle was scanned during the stock check but could not be found in the DMS data. This gives teams a clearer view of the relationship between the vehicles physically present at a location and the vehicles recorded in their DMS. Built for real-world stock checks PlateM8 supports operators working across dealership locations and in environments where connectivity may not always be available. Scanning can continue when working offline, with data synchronised when a connection becomes available. Operators can also review captured scans, check vehicle details and identify scans that may require further attention before completing the stock-check process. Key features • Registration plate recognition • VIN scanning • Continuous vehicle scanning • Offline scanning support • Automatic scan recording • Vehicle images linked to scans • Timestamp and location capture • Scan review before completion • DMS-based vehicle reconciliation • Clear reconciliation outcomes • Support for multiple dealership locations • Secure access for authorised users PlateM8 helps automotive teams create a more consistent and traceable stock-check process by bringing vehicle scanning and DMS reconciliation together in one workflow. Whether checking stock at a single dealership or across multiple locations, PlateM8 provides teams with a practical way to capture what is physically on site and compare it with the stock information held in their DMS.
