Always learning. Always building.

vinny is a structured inspection and documentation platform for RV dealerships and OEMs. We built it inside real dealership operations, not in a lab, because software that doesn’t hold up under real pressure isn’t worth offering.

Our Story

We built vinny inside real dealership operations. What we found wasn't just an inspection problem, it was a communication problem. Paper, disconnected systems, manual handoffs, information entered two or three times before reaching the right person. We started by structuring the inspection. We're building toward connecting the entire workflow.

We don’t pretend to know everything about running a dealership. We build the best inspection workflow we can, informed by the people who use it every day.

What Drives Us

The RV industry runs on relationships. We're not here to disrupt that, we're here to give everyone better information so those relationships work better. When dealers, manufacturers, suppliers, and technology partners share a common record, the whole industry benefits. We can't build that alone. So we earn trust one deployment at a time.
