SwiftDOT Solutions is revolutionizing DOT compliance for car dealerships by streamlining tire DOT scanning and submission. With our secure mobile app, dealerships can scan, format, and submit tire DOT numbers directly to the NHTSA in just seconds — eliminating hours of manual work and reducing compliance risk. Our platform uses advanced OCR technology to scan DOT numbers from tires, labels, and repair orders with 99.9% accuracy. Once scanned, SwiftDOT automatically formats the data and submits it directly to the NHTSA, ensuring a fast, seamless workflow from shop floor to federal reporting. All of this is backed by bank-level encryption and enterprise-grade data security, giving you peace of mind that your information is safe. The SwiftDOT dashboard gives dealerships a comprehensive view of all scanned data, submission statuses, and compliance metrics. From one interface, users can monitor their operations, track performance across multiple locations, and access all scan data stored securely in the cloud with automatic backups. Built-in team management tools allow you to assign roles, monitor user activity, and coordinate efforts across your service department. The process is simple: create a repair order, scan the DOT data using the SwiftDOT mobile app, and let the system take care of the rest. Within seconds, your data is compiled, organized, and securely transmitted to the NHTSA. This end-to-end automation was designed by mechanics, for mechanics — ensuring it fits naturally into real-world dealership workflows. Our analytics dashboard gives you real-time insight into performance. As an example, a typical account might have over 2,800 scans submitted, with a 99.4% success rate and 24 active users across multiple locations. Recent scans are logged in real time, letting your team stay up to date and in control.
