VIN Hunter, LLC is proud to announce the release of VIN Hunter Pro, a mobile application that gives automotive professionals access CARFAX?, Black Book? Daily?, and NADA information from their Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Car dealers and others can view the vital information needed to make purchasing decisions without the hassle of hauling around bulky guide books or dedicated devices. The application is available today for free in the Apple App Store at http://www.itunes.com/app/vinhunterpro.
VIN Hunter Pro employs the easy-to-use interface of the Apple iPhone, along with the device's ability to access to the Internet, to provide a mobile vehicle information solution for the automotive industry. The iPhone's portability means the user can carry the device in their pocket or purse, avoiding the need to carry a bulky set of books. The built-in camera of the iPhone provides the ability to add photographs and provides the capability of scanning barcodes using image recognition.
VIN Hunter Pro allows the user to either enter the vehicle's VIN manually using the iPhone's keyboard, or to quickly scan the VIN utilizing the built-in barcode scanner. VIN Hunter Pro's integrated real-time VIN decoder means users have access to important information on each vehicle on the fly. Once the vehicle has been added to the application it provides access to CARFAX? reports as well as Black Book Daily and NADA values based on subscription plans. Once collected, a user is able to email the entire list of decoded vehicles or just a single vehicle to coworkers.
