Our portable terminal TIM is a tool developed by our experts to facilitate the used vehicle assessment process by using the latest technologies. The tool enables our experts to work through the checklist for the reduced value appraisal directly on the vehicle using a tablet, and to transmit the results online to responsible person directly. This includes the appraisal, valuation, and testing of your used vehicles at the leasing return. TIM was developed to make our assessments even more accurate and faster providing you with increased transparency, efficiency and high-quality vehicle appraisals.

Why is the digitalisation of comprehensive used vehicle appraisals and assessments important?

Modern vehicle lifecycle management processes at the dealership, in the fleet or in the field of financing services, require the digital coupling of expert services. This will provide a seamless IT infrastructure for further processing or integration into customer-specific IT environments. With TIM, our tool developed specifically for used vehicle assessment, we can streamline and digitise the entire process forwarding the appraisals directly to your systems.

Our used car assessment tool records all working steps of our vehicle managers providing you with greater transparency of the vehicle evaluation process.

Our used vehicle appraisal tool in detail

The tool for used vehicle assessment: TIM supports your business processes by using the latest technologies.

How does TIM work?

The tool is simple and easy to use. The prerequisites for TIM include a wireless network via which the personal digital assistant can transmit data to the computer in which the appraisal is prepared. Our expert records all relevant vehicle data, vehicle equipment and condition characteristics with a mobile device or via a browser-based application locally at your vehicle, and documents them directly in TIM during the inspection. Using the supplied or TÜV SÜD damage limit sample catalogue, the vehicle expert at the vehicle or another online TÜV SÜD expert, differentiates between various characteristics such as age, mileage, intended use, permissible signs of use and more. Depending on the customer's requirements, these characteristics are listed in TIM with explanations of the features and the correct repair method, relevant repair costs and reduced values. Used car appraisal with TIM: a process completed in a few steps

In the process flow, the resultant used car appraisal (reduced value appraisal, lease take-back, condition report, purchase valuation, etc.) is prepared in one step, sent to a defined group of recipients on customer site without media discontinuity and imported into TÜV SÜD or the customer's own systems for easy access.

TIM combines personal TÜV SÜD expertise with the client's own digital world – just in time and without media discontinuity.
