# vAuto

This easy 3-step integration process allows you to combine PAVE's vehicle capture, inspection, and grading process with vAuto Provision's market insights to make better inventory acquisition decisions and set the correct actual cash values on every trade and inventory acquisition opportunity. 

**Key Benefits:**

* Never manually key in another 17-character VIN. Now simply taking a photo of any VIN using PAVE will automatically populate it accurately in vAuto.
* Get actual mileage from a single photo captured by PAVE. Every PAVE inspection extracts the exact odometer reading from the vehicle, which is now automatically populated in vAuto.
* Every inspection in PAVE is now linkable to your appraisal in Provision in one click.
* Access PAVE's comprehensive condition report directly within vAuto from the URL included in the notes on each appraisal.
