"We measured the lift in the same VDP reporting stack we already trusted. The change was unambiguous within the first reporting window — and our BDC stopped apologizing for grainy hero shots."

PicsAuto is the rare vendor where our internal measurement team couldn't find a hole to pick. The 38% lift survived every cohort cut — by rooftop, by trim, by price band — and the SOC 2 paperwork closed our InfoSec review in under a week.
Methodology & Audit Posture
How these numbers were measured.
The integration stack that makes attribution possible, the certifications procurement teams ask for, and the awards that named the work.
01
Native DMS integration, no CSV exports
Direct write-back to DealerSocket, DealerCenter, vAuto, and 14 other major DMS platforms. VDP conversion is measured inside the dealer's existing reporting stack — not in a PicsAuto dashboard.
02
VIN-aware processing at 99.4% OCR accuracy
Our vision pipeline reads plates, badges, and trim levels before applying backgrounds — so the lift you see is attributable to image quality, not to a misconfigured trim-level CSV.
03
ISO 9001 + SOC 2 Type II certified
Image processing pipeline is ISO 9001 certified. Data handling is SOC 2 Type II audited for OEM partners. Procurement paperwork is downloadable from the customer portal.
