General Information
The S.M.A.R.T System transforms the process by automating key steps in an audits lifecycle. It goes beyond just data capture in the field by providing tools for holistic portfolio management in one platform
As a wholesale financier, your risk is lowered because you will know exactly the “where, what and how many” pertaining to dealer’s assets.
You’ll get the verification--and transparency--you need with significantly increased frequency and accuracy of results – at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods and legacy systems
Traditional audits have been done sending a staff or third-party auditor out to a dealer location on a monthly or periodic basis, complete an inventory, and send the results back to a legacy back end system.
If discrepancies are found in the audit, the auditor may be sent back to the dealer location.
Such an approach can have both high labor and travel costs along with the cost of paying for legacy proprietary systems.
12th Tech takes advantage of the AWS Cloud along with mobile, imaging and networking technologies to increase accuracy, reliability and security while lowering system cost. 12th Tech provides the ability to reliably employ Dealer Self Audits, Clearing Audits or electronic asset identification to get asset information and audit results in real time, in tandem with physical staff or third-party audits when necessary.
Effective planning of audits using a mix of auditing methodologies can easily result in cost savings of over 50%.

Auditing Information
- All locations and corporate get real time results leveraging mobile devices and cloud based systems
- Actionable Alerts Anywhere, Anytime on Any Device
- Real-Time Electronic Identification/IOT
- Photo/Document Capture with GPS and time stamps
- Chat Feature with ability for clients to resolve discrepancies in real time.
This capability allows the dealer to perform the audits which can dramatically reduce your auditing costs but still have complete integrity of the data with multiple safeguards included in the mobile auditing solution.
Due to advanced monitoring features you can now have the dealer perform the audit with confidence.
A combination of GPS, Image Identification, and time tracking allows for the same confidence in a Dealer audit as a audit performed by internal staff or outsourced to a third party audit service company.
The Dealer Clearing Audit (DCA) allows finance companies a streamlined and easy process enabling dealers to ‘clear’ unresolved items from an original audit such as Sold Units, Other Location, Rentals etc.
This allows the dealer to either key in needed information, take pictures or update the status of the asset and enables finance companies to significantly lower their cost associated with re-audits or sending personnel out to the dealer location.
