Color-Coded Reports for Easy Reading
All reports use color coding. This lets you spot issues fast. You don't need to read every line. The colors point you to what matters:
- Green — All good. Vehicles match, deals are done, or records are current.
- Red — Needs attention. Vehicles are missing, records are not complete, or errors were found.
- Yellow — Worth a look. May need action, like extra vehicles on the lot or pending transfers.
- Blue — For your info. Items like vehicles in transit or actions just finished.
These colors are the same on every report. Once you learn them, you can read any report fast.
Exporting All Reports to Excel
Every report can be sent to Excel format (.xlsx). This lets you:
- Create custom reports — Use Excel to sort, filter, and pivot the data any way you need.
- Share with others — Email reports to managers, auditors, lenders, or corporate.
- Build dashboards — Pull the data into your own sheets or BI tools.
- Save for audits — Keep files as records for audit and compliance.
Click "Export to Excel" at the top of any report. The file saves to your default download folder.
18-Month Scan History
ScanIt Vehicles keeps all scan data for 18 months. You can look back at any scan, check-in, transfer, or count. This history helps with:
- Audit support — Give auditors full scan records. Show when and where every vehicle was scanned.
- Settling disputes — Answer questions about where a vehicle was, when it was checked in, or when it transferred.
- Trend tracking — Compare counts over time. Spot patterns like seasonal changes or repeat issues.
- Staff tracking — See how fast vehicles get checked in and how long counts take.
