CarweB supplies services to a number of different companies operating in the insurance sector. Customers include motor insurers, insurance brokers and web based aggregators, various claims and other professional service providers to the industry.

Quality of the data insurers hold on their insured assets is a perennial problem and one that costs the industry a great deal in time and money as well as damaging customer confidence when it is proven to be wrong. CarweB is ideally placed to address this problem in insurer’s private car and commercial motor portfolios. We do this by providing web based access to our built for purpose, unique database of all vehicles in the UK. The database is searched and a return provided normally within 0.1 seconds and across very high volumes of data. Insurers can chose from a long list of data fields and with confidence know they are getting the most granular data available about the vehicle just based on providing CarweB with the Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM).

Insurers experience after adopting CarweB’s data has been to improve accuracy in quotations; ensuring the right underwriting terms are applied more consistently on policies secured; the insured’s vehicle details are recorded more accurately in the policy records; the claims process is more effective and the portfolio details transmitted to the MID are more accurate.

Improvement rates have been dependent on what type of service insurers have used previously but have typically enjoyed pay back periods after adopting the service of only a few months.

CarweB adopts a consultancy approach to each insurer to ensure we provide a tailored solution based on the insurers needs.

For B2B customers, CarweB data is accessible via standard web services and is returned in xml format only. The data fields returned are limited by customer specific xml versions. As new data fields are added or removed, a new xml version is created allowing a customer time to test before migrating to the new version.

More than one xml version can be live allowing different fields to be accessible dependant on end customer requirements.

Similarly when new data sources are added to our core database, a new web service version is developed again allowing customers time to test before migrating.

All requests must originate from known static IP addresses and CarweB have a number of different servers located around the country with separate URLs to provide redundancy.

Full help and advice is available to determine which fields are best suited to individual customer applications, and we welcome and act on any feedback received.

CarweB provides solutions to a number of Car Park companies, who are members of the British Parking Association and who use VRM based validation as part of their payment options to consumers. There are strict compliance issues which must be met by car park operators in order to ensure that any subsequent penalty notices sent to vehicle keepers are based on the correct information. CarweB is happy to discuss these requirements with operators and their software developers to ensure that proposed schemes have the best opportunity of meeting the requirements.

CarweB’s services are ideally suited to local authorities and private operators who are developing differential pricing models based on environmental factors relating to the parked vehicle.

If you are interested in developing a new parking application, we suggest an early conversation with one of the CarweB team who will be happy to provide compliance guidance.

The road transport sector is a significant contributor to emissions of carbon and pollutants into the atmosphere. The motor industry is working hard to introduce more fuel efficient and cleaner vehicles, providing new options to individuals and fleet buyers. At the same time governments throughout Europe are increasing the pressure on their own procurers to take the “lifetime cost” of emissions into account when sourcing vehicles.

The demand for environmentally based services is therefore increasing rapidly and CarweB can provide a range of services to the commercial and government sectors to respond to their “green agendas”. CarweB’s service is individually tailored and is offered either direct or through the customer’s chosen consultancy partner.
