New CarweB Service from SMMT
- Vehicle Registration Recognition system returns 150 pieces of information on a car all from a number plate or partial VIN
- Service for retailers, garages, repair shops, insurance companies, local government - all from £25 per month
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders is today launching CarweB - a new on-line service for vehicle retailers, motor manufacturers, insurance companies and local government bodies. SMMT CarweB Vehicle Registration Recognition (VRR) is a new, extensive and up-to-date database of UK vehicle records. After five years of development, it is now available for commercial use.
CarweB VRR (www.carwebuk.com) gives users a direct on-line link between a car's vehicle identity number (VIN, sometimes called a chassis number) or registration plate, and over 150 items of data relating to that vehicle. For a £25/month subscription to VRR Enquire, a retail repair shop or garage will be able to access specific vehicle data such as date of registration, complete VIN, number of owners, engine number, details of scrapping, theft etc and vehicle specification. This includes size, top speed, fuel economy, CO2 emissions, acceleration and country of manufacture - all at the click of a button.
Other IT systems can easily integrate to CarweB via the VRR system. Through the new VRR B2B package, a third party system can submit either registration number or VIN and receive any of the information for available fields.
SMMT chief executive, Christopher Macgowan, said of the new service, 'SMMT is in a unique position to improve the vehicle information currently available within the motor industry. CarweB VRR will give retailers, repairers, vehicle makers, insurers, and others associated with our industry, the information they need to keep accurate records, clean their existing database, make the best repairs and help cut vehicle crime. For the first time, all this information is on one easily used database. We look forward to delivering it to the industry.'
SMMT CarweB system allows full integration into dealer management systems and the use of SMS text messaging of data - especially useful for used car buyers or motor traders at vehicle auctions.
