The Cartell Car Check allows users to discover the complete history of all Irish and UK vehicles. We use a vast number of sources including the government and multiple key players in the motor industry, resulting in the most accurate information possible. A Cartell Car Check alerts for insurance write-offs, outstanding finance and mileage discrepancies, plus much more.

VRM data is available from Cartell via web services over XML/SOAP to third-party companies wishing to increase efficiency, accuracy and automation. With just a vehicle registration number Cartell can populate vehicle data fields such as make, model, description, engine size, engine number, chassis number, number of owners, dates of sale, NCT and date of first registration.

For the technical detail, see our Integrate with Cartell page.

The Cartell Price Guide provides an accurate, real-time vehicle valuation via VRM look-up. This is important because the market is made up of different derivatives such as LX, GLX and so on, all with different original purchase prices. CPG is the only price guide able to take a used car advertised price and compare it with its original list price from JATO.

CPG offers both retail and trade pricing, and takes into consideration NCT, kilometres, number of owners and tax. Bulk valuations and future valuations using VRM and mileage parameters are available.

Car Stat is a statistical solution for the Irish motor industry providing highly accurate new and used sales data along with imported and location statistics. It is the only statistical product in Ireland providing used car sales data showing trade stock levels, and it can provide location data for vehicles based on live location rather than registration county. It is the ultimate tool for planning strategies in the Irish car market.

The Cartell risk engine is the market-leading predictive framework, built for motor insurance companies and financiers to more accurately qualify risk at the underwriting stage. Our framework allows insurers to perform real-time risk identification based on vehicle intelligence and correlated data sets.

Cartell will identify key vehicle risk indicators that could result in higher claims ratios and frequencies. Rule examples: NCT, imports, number of owners, left-hand drive, vehicle class and write-offs.

Cartell’s vehicle rating solution was designed specifically to assist the motor insurance industry. It provides accurate insurance rating codes for vehicles at the underwriting stage, helping to assist with and prevent insurance premium leakage while enhancing the experience of insurance customers. Mapping codes include ABI, Insecom, Jato, Glasses, TecDoc KType and MVRIS.

Under the Road Traffic Act 2016 a vehicle insurer is requested under law to provide details on vehicles written off to the Department of Transport within five working days of an inspection, where the vehicle is classified as a category A or B write-off. Cartell Business Solutions, on behalf of the insurance companies, will acquire, cleanse, validate and deliver write-off data to the Department in the required data format within 24 hours of receipt.

Car Trace, built for financiers, assists by populating asset data fields via registration. It will also verify and cleanse all asset data on your database.

In addition, Car Trace provides a full suite of alerts for financiers’ protection: change of ownership for HP and lease vehicles, unit stocking becoming road registered, an asset written off by an insurer, an HP or lease vehicle exported, duplicate assets registered, an asset gaining a new identity in the UK, and more.

Car Parc is a static file based on make, model, fuel, engine size and more, delivered by SFTP download monthly in CSV format. It can be linked to mapping codes such as ABI, Insecom, Jato, Glasses, TecDoc KType, MVRIS and SMMT.

Outputs can be customised by frequency of model change, by location, by fuel, CO₂, tax class, number of owners plus many more data fields. Typical customers are parts suppliers forecasting parts procurement, and insurers who require information on the car parc by ABI or Insecom and location to determine risk.

Cartell’s VIN Decoder examines and breaks down the unique Vehicle Identifier Number, presenting all data in a clear and concise manner. Our API is available for implementation on your website and will be displayed using the interactive interface. The Cartell VIN Decoder shows the complete vehicle data as standard, and uniquely incorporates first-time mapped data such as KTypes (TecDoc) and engine codes.

The TRG is a CSV-formatted used car price guide, particularly useful when the vehicle registration is unknown. The guide provides the retail asking price and trade price of a used car: the retail asking price of a typical used car of that age, mileage and condition when advertised for sale, and the trade price a typical dealer or used car trader will pay for the same vehicle.

The TRG is based on seven different kilometre points: 10K, 15K, 17K, 20K, 25K, 30K and 33K. Values are produced using industry standard methodologies, overlaid with Cartell’s experience of the new and used car market.

Service-Tell provides accurate and detailed service codes used to price a service via registration number or VIN. It was built by Cartell to provide an online service quotation program for manufacturers in Ireland and the UK. Originally created for BMW Ireland, it has been rolled out to numerous manufacturers including MINI, Lexus, Toyota and Kia.

DMS-Tell was designed by Cartell to cleanse Dealer Management Systems. It provides an accurate way to de-link customers that should not be associated with particular vehicles. There is no other company in Ireland or the United Kingdom offering a comparable DMS clean-up function.

DMS-Tell is an excellent sales and marketing tool but can also be used to assist with data protection compliance. It has been implemented with BMW, MINI, Mazda, Toyota and more, ensuring only the correct data is held against a vehicle.

Cartell’s MML is a compiled dataset of technical data relating to all makes and models, across Irish and some European markets, which includes all relevant attributes such as engine capacity, fuel type, body type and power. This can be customised to suit specific requirements.

Cartell’s vast and market-leading vehicle and Car Parc data allow for the creation of bespoke reports to suit all requirements. Whether the requirement is for a one-off data sheet or a regular report, contact Cartell Business Solutions to discuss creation.
