CARS NOW BIKES NEXT — SMMT LAUNCHES NEW CARWEB VEHICLE RECORD SYSTEM
THE SMMT has launched Carweb - an on-line vehicle recognition system to give users a direct link between car's vehicle identity number (VIN or chassis number) registration plate, and over 150 items of data.
For a month subscription to VRR Enquire, a 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 vehicle specification.
This includes size, top speed, fuel economy, CO2 emissions, acceleration and country manufacture.
Other IT systems can easily integrate to Carweb via 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, "The SMMT is in a unique position to improve the vehicle information currently available within the motor industry," said chief executive Christopher Macgowan.
"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," he said.
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.
