Desktop Reports

CPR compliant Desktop Reports are fully accepted by Courts, sharing 99% of their DNA with Physical reports. At FNOL we can automatically send a link to the driver allowing them to send curated images of their vehicle for our desktop engineers to work from.  (No app to download) Alternatively we can send professional photographers, typically same day, to provide the images.

Our API allows seamless software integration to allow simple, instantaneous instructions, with rapid return of information direct to your system. Desk Top (or virtual) reports can be turned round in hours, often minutes when urgent.
