For trade plate, rental & garage fleets

Know exactly what changed, every handover.

A guided video walkaround, AI-assisted damage detection, and a report your staff have actually signed off on — so “it wasn’t like that when we got it” stops being a fight and starts being a five-second lookup.

Say hello

This is PISTO.

No, not the stew — though we won’t hold it against you if that’s what brought you here. PISTO guides staff through every walkaround and flags what’s changed, without ever getting bored of checking the same wheel arch twice.

How it works

Four steps, most of them automatic.

01

Office creates the job

Vehicle, staff member, pickup and drop-off — set up in under a minute.

02

Staff film the walkaround

Guided in real time so nothing gets missed — no training needed.

03

AI flags, your team confirms

Every flagged mark gets a human yes or no before anything is final.

04

Handover shows what’s new

Return inspection automatically diffs against collection — new damage stands out.

Two ways to inspect

AI-assisted, or fully manual — your call.

Most teams run AI-assisted. Some would rather not use AI for damage at all — just a fixed set of photos and a person marking what they see. Both produce a real, signed-off report; the difference is in how damage gets found.

Most teams

AI-assisted

  • Guided video walkaround — staff are shown what’s still left to cover as they film
  • AI flags likely damage; your team confirms, rejects, or adds to it before anything is final
  • Full video record, not just stills
1 token / inspection

Manual

  • Fixed 10-shot sequence — front, all four wheels, all four sides, interior front & back
  • Your team marks every bit of damage themselves — a close-up photo and its exact spot on the panel, every time
  • Nothing to wait on — straight to review
0.5 tokens / inspection

Either way, plate verification and dash reading (mileage, fuel, charge) still run automatically. Damage detection is the only part that’s optional.

Accounts start on Manual mode by default while AI-assisted detection is still being fine-tuned. Get in touch to have it enabled for your team.

A closer look

What staff actually see.

Real screens from the app. The manual-mode shots below show the fixed 10-photo sequence with no AI involved; AI-assisted mode replaces that with the guided video walkaround.

How the AI actually gets better

Every confirmed detection makes it sharper.

When your team confirms, corrects, or adds a piece of damage on an AI-assisted inspection, that’s a real, human-checked example — not just a guess. Photos from AI-assisted inspections are used this way to improve detection accuracy over time. Your data is never shown to another company or sold on — full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

Built for the handover, not the office

Who it’s for

Trade plate companies

Every collection and delivery is a moment of liability. A timestamped, GPS-tagged walkaround is your record if a dispute ever comes back.

Rental fleets

Check vehicles out and back in with the same guided process — condition disagreements at return stop being a guessing game.

Garages

Know the condition a vehicle arrived in before you touch it, and prove it left the way you found it, minus what you fixed.

Digital Driver ID

No physical ID card, no problem.

A driver turning up without their ID is a classic trade-plate headache: the site won’t release the vehicle, and there’s no quick way to prove who they are or that the job’s really theirs. Digital Driver ID puts a QR code and a rotating PIN on every driver’s phone instead.

01

Office sets it up

A photo, name, and start date, done once per driver from the dashboard.

02

Driver shows their phone

A QR code and a 6-digit PIN that refreshes every few minutes, no PISTO login needed to check it.

03

Site scans and confirms

Scan the code, enter the PIN and the registration, see the driver’s photo, status, and whether this job is really allocated to them.

Included free at the moment, for every driver, no extra tokens needed.

PISTO vs. the old way

What changes when it’s not a phone full of random photos.

Paper & phone photosPISTO
Capturing conditionWhatever gets remembered, whenever there’s timeGuided every time — walkaround or fixed sequence
Finding what’s new at returnComparing memory (or old photos, if anyone kept them) against what’s in front of youAutomatic diff — new, worsened, or pre-existing, side by side
Sign-offVerbal, or a signature on a paper form that ends up in a drawerDigital, on the spot, both sides, tied to the report
Finding the record againWhichever phone it was taken on, if it hasn’t been deleted sinceOne system, every job, searchable by the office
Where liability lands in a disputeWhoever argues more convincinglyTimestamped, GPS-tagged, signed evidence
