Import Vehicle Data from PDFs
Extract registration, VIN, make, model, and more from VicRoads documents automatically.
The problem
When acquiring a vehicle, dealers receive VicRoads registration certificates and seller documents containing vehicle details. Manually typing registration number, VIN, make, model, year, odometer, and body type into your system is slow and prone to transcription errors.
How Friday solves it
Friday's PDF import feature extracts vehicle data automatically. Upload a VicRoads registration certificate or seller document, and Friday reads the key fields — registration, VIN, make, model, year, colour, body type — and pre-fills them in the vehicle record.
