RAC Approved Dealers are now gaining access to Vehicles in Video’s AI-enhanced imaging technology.
The newly launched VIV media app enables dealers to capture high-quality images of their stock, overlay them with RAC Approved Dealer branding and select from three designed backdrops.
Using AI, the app automatically identifies the vehicle, applies the chosen backdrop across all angles, and uploads the enhanced images, along with all relevant details, to the dealer’s website in under 10 minutes.
Dealers also have the option to purchase additional backdrops, incorporate their own logo or request custom backdrop designs tailored to their branding needs.
Lee Coomber, RAC client director at Assurant, a premier global protection company that works with the RAC in the warranty and aftersales sector, explained that the new development builds on a collaboration first established two years ago.
“In early 2023, we embarked on a series of third-party deals designed to offer products and services in support of our 1,400 RAC Dealer Network used car, van, motorcycle and motorhome retailers.
“We’ve always taken a view that we are not just a warranty and aftersales product provider to each of our dealers, but that we are here to help them grow and prosper as a business. These arrangements extended that thinking and Vehicles in Video were the very first of them to be signed.
“The new VIV Media app enhances that deal. It is very impressive in terms of enabling dealers to quickly and easily create high quality images of stock for their website, emphasising the advantages to consumers of working with an RAC Approved Dealer, and automatically identifying the vehicle.
“We’re very pleased to be able to offer it to our network and believe that uptake will be rapid.”
