Scan the front or the barcode on the back

Retyping a customer’s name, address and licence number is slow and easy to get wrong. With HillzDealer, staff scan the front of a driver’s licence or the barcode on the back, on desktop or in the mobile app.

The scanner supports Canadian driver’s licences and U.S. driver’s licenses, so the same workflow works for dealerships on both sides of the border.

  • Back barcode scan
  • Canadian licences
  • U.S. licenses

  • Mobile app scanning

Capture the available customer fields

HillzDealer captures the available fields from the licence. What is available depends on the licence itself, so staff confirm the result before saving it to the customer.

  • Name
  • Address
  • Date of birth
  • Licence number
  • Expiry date
  • Province or state
  • Postal or ZIP code
  • Photo

Send scanned details where they are needed

One scan can fill several parts of the dealership workflow: a customer record, a lead in your car dealership CRM, a deal and dealership documents such as the Bill of Sale.

Because the information is captured once, the customer’s name and address match across the lead, the deal and the paperwork.

  • Customer record
  • CRM lead
  • Deal
  • Dealership documents

Faster walk-ins, test drives and deal paperwork

Scan a licence when a customer walks in, before a test drive or at the deal desk. On the lot, salespeople can use the HillzDealer mobile app to capture the customer without sending them inside to fill out a form.

Licence images follow your dealership’s settings

Whether the licence image is stored is optional and configured in your dealership’s settings, and user roles control who can view customer information.

HillzDealer does not provide legal advice or guarantee regulatory compliance. Your dealership stays responsible for its identification, privacy and record-keeping policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the HillzDealer driver’s licence scanner capture?

It captures the available fields from a driver’s licence, which can include name, address, date of birth, licence number, expiry date, province or state, postal or ZIP code and photo. The fields available depend on the licence being scanned.

Does it work with Canadian and U.S. licences?

Yes. HillzDealer scans Canadian driver’s licences and U.S. driver’s licenses.

Do we scan the front or the back of the licence?

Either. HillzDealer can read the front of the licence or the barcode on the back.

Can we scan licences on desktop and mobile?

Yes. Licence scanning is available on desktop and in the HillzDealer mobile app.

Where does the scanned information go?

Scanned information can populate a customer record, a CRM lead, a deal and dealership documents such as the Bill of Sale, so staff do not retype the same customer details in each place.

Is the licence image stored?

Storing the licence image is optional and follows your dealership’s settings.

Does the scanner make our dealership compliant with ID or privacy rules?

No software can guarantee regulatory compliance. HillzDealer captures and organizes the information; your dealership remains responsible for following the identification, privacy and record-keeping requirements that apply in your province or state.

Is it a driver’s licence or driver’s license scanner?

Both. Canadians usually write licence and Americans license; the HillzDealer scanner handles driver’s licences from both countries.
