“ADAS is the oil change of the future,” says Revv Founder Adi Bathla. “[Government] mandates are accelerating this faster than the industry can absorb. The sooner shops operationalize their workflows, the easier it gets - you don’t have to chew it all at once.”
Revv is one of the tools shops can enlist to help navigate the challenges they face with ADAS, starting with identifying work that isn’t visible and the required supporting documentation.
“The damage isn’t physical - it’s buried in OEM documentation, and you have to dig through the specs to figure out what a calibration even requires,” Bathla says. “That’s why peer education matters. Shops want to hear it from someone who’s actually been in the bay.”
Revv attacks the issue in two parts. The first is to have people who have successfully used Revv’s platform speak to their peers about the success they’ve had. Then, they need to reduce the barrier to entry for ADAS calibrations by having a third party conduct the work instead of the shop.
“Basically, that's the lowest barrier to entry where you don't really have to all the work and make any investments,” Bathla says. “But rather, you're bringing in a third party, which again, shops and the third parties, sublet providers, they collaborate on our network, on the platform.”
Revv integrates into a shop’s software and hardware, running in the background. When a vehicle comes in, it can analyze the damage recorded during the inspection process and provide step-by-step instructions for what calibrations are needed, manufacturer-specific documentation to support the claims packet, and capture proof needed to make sure the shop gets paid. Billing and invoicing are handled by Revv as well. Utilizing AI capabilities to make the program more proactive reduces the skill level required for technicians and frees them up to focus on the most important part of the job – fixing the vehicle.
