Key Project Tasks
1Develop functionality for VIN-based data collection from external systems
Create a system capable of requesting and receiving data from multiple external sources in parallel, ensuring proper handling of data nuances for each source.
2Build a damage visualization system
Develop schematic car images that display damages on body parts, enabling quick and clear assessment of a vehicle’s condition.
3Generate final reports
Automate the process of creating comprehensive xlsx reports containing full information for each VIN number.
4Integrate with the client’s internal systems
Implement automated report delivery to the client’s server and corporate website, while synchronizing VIN data retrieval and report generation with existing client systems.

Collecting Data
by VINTo address the client’s needs, we developed a complex software suite capable of working with three key external resources:
-
Damage Visualization System
One of the primary requirements was to create a damage visualization scheme based on data received from an external source. Our dynamic visualization system includes:
1SVG-based vehicle diagrams
For each vehicle model and configuration, a base schematic image is generated.
2Damage rendering
The system automatically marks damaged parts on the vehicle diagram, coloring the affected areas accordingly. This approach offers a fast and clear way to evaluate a vehicle’s post-accident condition.
3Integration into final reports
The visualized data is embedded within the final xlsx report for ease of reference and further use.
-
Generating
Final ReportsA key project deliverable was a report that consolidates all collected data into a single document.
1Creating an xlsx report
The final report in xlsx format is generated using data pulled from external resources. Each report includes full information for each VIN, along with damage visualization.
2Handling repeated requests
The service is configured to re-request missing data up to three times. If data remains incomplete after three attempts, the report is generated based on what’s available.
3Prioritizing reports
Special attention is given to VINs submitted via the client’s website. These VINs are processed first, ensuring minimal delays in report delivery.
-
Integration with
Internal Client SystemsFor seamless operation, integration with the client’s internal systems was crucial:
1Retrieving VINs
Our service automatically fetches VIN numbers from multiple sources—both from the client’s internal storage and their website.
2Transferring reports
Once generated, reports are automatically uploaded to the client’s server in the designated folder and sent to the client’s website.
3Archiving
After successful report creation, the original VIN files are archived to maintain a complete history of data processing.
-
Results
The developed service allowed our client to optimize their vehicle data processes, reduce costs, and improve overall service quality.
This project showcases our expertise in creating complex, scalable solutions to automate processes in the automotive industry. The client is satisfied with the outcome, and the service is now actively used in their daily operations.
