Accepted handover & custody
Workshop can record vehicle/key custody and the receiving valeter must accept the handover or return it with a reason before valeting starts.
ValetFlow connects vehicle intake, Workshop work, customer approval, valeting, quality control, communication, reporting and collection. This page separates the benefits by operational area so a dealership can see exactly where the platform fits.
