Validation services · For floorplan funders
Precision you can bank on
Know the photo is genuine before your credit team relies on it
A photo only proves something if it was taken in the right place, of the right vehicle, at the time it says. We check every photo in your audit record for all of that before anyone relies on it, whoever took it. Bureau Veritas uses CheckVentory validation for vehicle stock audits across France.
Built for floorplan funders
Designed around the way floorplan funders check stock: the funded vehicle, the dealer’s sites and the audit record your credit team signs off.
ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified
Data is hosted on Microsoft Azure, with the primary data centre in the Netherlands and backups in the UK and Ireland.
Less manual checking
Your team spends fewer hours looking at photos, and makes fewer mistakes when it does.
Checks on every image
Every photo is checked before it goes into the audit record
Each photo runs through a set of automated checks. Together they answer four questions: is the vehicle where it should be, is it the right vehicle, is the photo genuine, and was it taken when it says.
Where
Where the photo was taken
We confirm each vehicle was photographed where it’s supposed to be.
Where
The dealer’s other sites
If stock is at a compound or body shop documented for that dealer, it’s still accounted for.
Where
The same vehicle in two places
If two photos of one vehicle were taken in different places, we flag it.
Which vehicle
The VIN in the photo
We read the VIN from the photo, so you know which vehicle is in the record.
Which vehicle
The right type of vehicle
We check the photo shows the type of asset on the record.
Is it genuine
Taken live, not uploaded
We check the photo was taken live at the time of the audit, not uploaded from a camera roll.
Is it genuine
A vehicle, not a photo of a screen
We flag any photo that’s a picture of another photo or a screen.
Is it genuine
Signs of editing or AI
We flag photos that have been altered in editing software, or generated by AI.
Is it genuine
Reused photos
We flag a photo that has been used before, for another vehicle or another audit.
When
The time stamp
We check every photo has a time stamp and that the time is genuine.
These are some of the checks. We don’t publish the full list or how they work, but we’re happy to go through them in a demo.
Two ways to use it
It works on your own audit photos or someone else’s
You can rely on the evidence whoever captured it. CheckVentory isn’t tied to any one audit firm or technology.
As part of a CheckVentory audit. Photos taken in Auditor, by your auditors or in a dealer self-audit, are checked as they come in.
On photos from another system. Send us images from a third-party audit firm or your own risk management system, and we check them the same way.
A clear result on every photo
Every photo is checked the same way, every time. Anything that fails is flagged to your team with the reason. Everything else goes into the audit record with its result, so you can show what was checked if a credit committee asks.

Common questions
Do we have to use CheckVentory audits?
No. We can check photos from a CheckVentory audit, from a third-party audit firm, or from your own risk management system.
Does this replace physical audits?
No. It checks the evidence your audits produce. Auditor runs alongside physical audits, not instead of them.
What happens when a photo fails a check?
It’s flagged to your team with the reason. Photos that pass go into the audit record with their result.
What do you check?
Where the photo was taken, which vehicle it shows, whether the photo is genuine, live and unedited, and when it was taken. We don’t publish the full list of checks or how they work, but we’ll take you through them in a demo.
Where is the data held?
On Microsoft Azure. The primary data centre is in the Netherlands, with backups in the UK and Ireland. A US data centre is available on request.
