BusConnect App
An app developed that walks the individual through a bus appraisal. It connects to a J1939 reader that downloads bus information (VIN#, Engine, HP, ECM Mileage, lists active and inactive fault codes, and DEF information). Following simple vehicle information input via drop-down menus and taking photos, the app emails the report, fault codes and a set of pictures.
With over 50 years in the school bus industry this app allows for a more accurate valuation.
