Vehicle Identification & Specification

Why is accurate vehicle identification essential?

Every successful operation begins with precise identification.

Whether you want to price leases, benchmark trade-in values or generate accurate repair quotes, identifying the exact vehicle is critical to determining a competitive price.

Manufacturers, fleet owners, remarketing managers and insurance professionals all want to know how different specs and features affect residual values. By identifying exact matches, you can work out what gives one vehicle the winning edge.

Because your portfolio should reflect consumer preferences – or else you’ll stock undesirable vehicles with weak residual value and high financial risk.

How can I accurately identify the correct vehicle?

The easiest way to accurately identify exact vehicle matches – including optional equipment – is by using our VIN or VRM services or our search tree based on NatCodes. This capability is built into a number of our products.
