Every application, reviewed by hand
Before Fairway, every dealer title application handled by South Carolina Dealer Services was reviewed manually against SCDMV requirements. Each review took minutes, and routine approvals needed the same attention as problem files.
The solution: SCDMV rules, automated
Fairway codified SCDMV requirements in its rules engine and applied its AI paperwork audit to incoming applications. Each application is now checked automatically against the same standardized criteria, and applications that pass are approved in real time.
Applications that don’t pass are flagged with the reason, so the auditing team spends its time on exceptions instead of routine approvals.
