A quality automotive data source is a must for underwriting requirements. Some of our clients utilize our data in order to develop their own rating systems, as well as to map to ISO ratings and requirements. Our collection spans 1981-Present shipping vehicles and you can rest assured that you are working with one of the most comprehensive collections on the market today. Whether you are developing your own rating system, mapping to a third party system, or simply using the data to normalize existing collections – our solutions will meet your requirements.

 

If you are simply looking for basic information to aid in the process of providing quotes as an agent/broker, we also have an affordable solution in our VIN Basic solution and optionally available add-on tables. Typical information required varies slightly but usually includes some of the following available fields:

 

Year, Make, Model, Trim, Doors, Vehicle Type, Transmission, Engine, Drivetype

 

Using our data this is a simple process. You will be able to build out drop down lists either on your web forms, or within your custom applications at the representative level that only display relevant information. For example, after selecting Year, Make, Model, only the trims available for that vehicle would be displayed as you define preset queries. From this point onwards you may elect to use one of our pre-compiled fields to present a drop down list that will clearly identify the vehicle and fill in the rest of the fields or if there are more options available for vehicle type, transmission, engine and drivetype they will be available to select.

 

If you require the entry of VIN number for your web form, this process can be reduced in many cases to a simple selection from a single drop down list. Both the VIN Basic product, and our Data On Demand web services can be a good fit in this case depending on how much information you need to qualify your prospect for quote.

 

VIN databases can be complex to integrate due to the nature of VIN data and the varied use of the VIN number by individual OEM’s. We simplify this process for you both in our full databases and in our VIN Basic product. Most importantly we provide solid account management with regular check-in’s, and production / development assistance for your developers as needed. Whether you are previewing data under evaluation license, or moving ahead with your implementation, our full support and production resources are always available to you by email and by conference call.
