Strengthen Decisions Throughout the Vehicle Lifecycle

Leasing profitability depends on decisions made throughout a contract: the assumptions behind initial pricing, the management of vehicles in service and the value achieved at disposal.

We provide vehicle data to support each stage. Compare alternative residual value and Service, Maintenance and Repair (SMR) forecasts with your existing approaches. Identify recalls for in-life vehicle contracts. Then present defleet vehicles with data to maximise their disposal value. 

We will help you bring additional perspectives into established processes,  driving performance through the vehicle lifecycle.

Compare Alternative Views of Forecast Residual Value and SMR 

Your existing residual value approach may combine internal experience, external forecasts and assumptions about future market conditions. An additional view provides a useful reference for testing those assumptions.

Our current and future valuation data provides current values and monthly forecasts based on the vehicle, mileage and forecast period. Present this data alongside your existing revaluation to identify differences by vehicle, model or portfolio segment.

Maintenance assumptions also influence contract profitability.

An alternative forecast helps your team assess whether existing budgets remain appropriate for the vehicles and operating scenarios you support.  SMR expenditure forecasts provide a budgeting reference covering servicing, maintenance, repairs and tyres for UK cars and light commercial vehicles supporting new quotations, extensions and re-leasing decisions, as well as reviews of existing provisioning. 

Identify Recalls During In-Life Contracts

Recall identification is most useful when there is time to act.  Incorporating checks into your in-life contract processes helps bring outstanding campaigns to the attention of customers,  enabling you to encourage action. 

Our Combined Recall Check brings together UK DVSA and SMMT sources using the vehicle registration, returning status and available recall details to maximise coverage. 

Your software can use the results to create tasks, communicate with customers and support arrangements with the relevant franchised dealer.  Recording checks, communications and completion evidence helps support your duty of care responsibilities and proactively reduces outstanding recalls at defleet - improving disposal returns.

Recover Service History for non-Maintained Vehicles

Disposal channels depend on presenting vehicles clearly and giving buyers confidence in what they are purchasing.

Digital service history data can help identify manufacturer-recorded servicing, including dates, mileage and available work details.  This is particularly useful where records are missing from your systems or the vehicle has been operated on a non-maintained contract.

Enhance Used EV Listings

Used EV buyers need practical information about range and suitability. 

Our electric vehicle data API helps your disposal channels explain real world performance beyond official new-vehicle figures.

Communicate the Retail Opportunity

Retail valuations and market metrics help show prospective trade buyers the retail opportunity for a used vehicle.

Combine retail market pricing with demand metrics, days-to-sell and comparable listings. Presented alongside service history, recall check results and EV data in your disposal portal helps to drive disposal performance. 

We help you connect these datasets to your existing systems, giving forecasting, operational and remarketing teams the information they need at the right stage.

Three Ways to Enhance Fleet & Leasing Operations

Forecast Residual Value & SMR Comparison

Present alternative residual value and maintenance forecasts alongside existing results. Highlight differences by vehicle or portfolio segment, helping pricing and risk teams investigate assumptions and assess the implications for quotations, extensions and contract profitability.

In-Life Recall Management

Integrate recall checks into contract management workflows. Use findings to trigger customer contact, dealer follow-up and completion tracking, with checks ahead of vehicle return helping reduce unresolved recalls at defleet.

Enhance Disposal Platforms

Enrich disposal listings and buyer packs with recorded service history, recall findings, used EV range information, retail valuations and market metrics. Help buyers assess each vehicle’s condition, suitability and potential retail opportunity.

FAQ

Yes. You can present our data alongside existing forecasts to investigate differences and test assumptions. Your team retains control of its pricing, risk assessment and provisioning decisions.

Recall results can inform customer communications, follow-up tasks and arrangements with franchised dealers. Checks during the contract and ahead of return help identify work requiring attention. Your systems can record findings and subsequent action, supporting duty of care processes without treating a lookup alone as proof of completion.

For supported manufacturers and vehicles, we can retrieve available digital service records from manufacturer databases. These may include dates, mileage and work details. Use them alongside your own records and inspection findings. Availability varies, and an absent record does not establish that servicing was missed.

Combine history, recall findings and EV performance information with retail valuations and market metrics to create more informative listings and buyer packs. This helps buyers understand the vehicle and its potential retail opportunity, while supporting your own pricing and channel decisions.

Can we compare your forecasts with our existing residual value and SMR models?

Yes. You can present our data alongside existing forecasts to investigate differences and test assumptions. Your team retains control of its pricing, risk assessment and provisioning decisions.

How can recall checks support in-life contract management?

Recall results can inform customer communications, follow-up tasks and arrangements with franchised dealers. Checks during the contract and ahead of return help identify work requiring attention. Your systems can record findings and subsequent action, supporting duty of care processes without treating a lookup alone as proof of completion.

Can you recover missing service history for returning vehicles?

For supported manufacturers and vehicles, we can retrieve available digital service records from manufacturer databases. These may include dates, mileage and work details. Use them alongside your own records and inspection findings. Availability varies, and an absent record does not establish that servicing was missed.

How does the data help our own disposal channels?

Combine history, recall findings and EV performance information with retail valuations and market metrics to create more informative listings and buyer packs. This helps buyers understand the vehicle and its potential retail opportunity, while supporting your own pricing and channel decisions.
