Rosmerta Digital Services and FADA Partner To Make Vehicle Compliance Simpler

Rosmerta Digital Services and FADA Partner To Make Vehicle Compliance Simpler

Rosmerta Digital Services Limited (RDSL) and the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to make citizen compliance more accessible through technology, involving buying, selling or transferring a vehicle.
Such a process is today made more challenging beyond paperwork by issues like pending traffic violations/challans that add another layer of complexity. 
The MoU between RDSL and FADA includes Rosmart, the former's compliance services platform where citizens can log in to access challan-related services and address pending traffic violations. Dealers as FADA members will find it easier to support customers by uploading cases in bulk or assist customers directly. Customers can alternatively visit Rosmart.com directly or access the service by scanning a QR code available at participating dealerships and customer touchpoints.
For dealers, the MoU and subsequent access to Rosemart translates into an ability to offer customers support at a time when compliance issues risk slowing down a transaction. For customers, it provides a more convenient way to check and address challan-related requirements online, without having to navigate multiple touchpoints. Helping extend Rosmart across the automotive retail network and ensure service closer to dealers and vehicle owners, the MoU reflects a growing opportunity to use technology to simplify some of the everyday processes that form part of vehicle ownership, mentioned a FADA source.
