ACV Viper Vison Webinar
VIPER, which stands for Vehicle Inspection Platform for Enhanced Reporting, is a hardware set that includes two vehicle imaging towers and Virtual Lift, an undercarriage scanner, easily installable in a dealership’s appraisal lane or service drive. It uses high-resolution imaging and AI-powered vision solutions to leverage ACV's industry-leading data library and automatically capture a vehicle’s condition as it drives through VIPER. In seconds, the system produces a consistent digital condition summary, and a real-time valuation offer or range—giving dealers a powerful new way to source inventory directly from their service lane. VIPER reduces manual effort and enables fast vehicle appraisal, acquisition and retail photos at scale and with precision.
