CLEAR Vehicle Data has launched Whole Life Cost Pro.

The new product is designed to assist fleets with vehicle selection, fleet policy list decisions and purchase negotiations, said Clear Vehicle Data.

It can also be used for benchmarking contract hire quotes and as a dynamic tool for anyone involved in negotiating vehicle sales or supply.

It said typical Whole Life Cost Pro users would be Fleet Operators, Leasing companies and brokers, Manufacturers and Main Dealers.

Features marking out Whole Life Cost Pro include a full vehicle configurator inclusive of options pricing and an ability to filter down vehicles to a selected policy list based on predetermined criteria.

The software tools are supported by independent data compiled by International Decision
Systems (IDS). Although the core new vehicle data is sourced from vehicle manufacturers,
forecasts within the tool are prepared by independent automotive industry experts.

Whole Life Cost Pro joins the established Lite and Business versions of Whole Life Cost, which also include Company Car Benefit in Kind and Employer’s National Insurance calculators.

Ian Hare, CEO of Clear Vehicle Data, said:

“Our new top-level product, called Pro, now offers medium-sized and larger fleets the ability to formulate policy lists and to negotiate vehicle supply in detail with manufacturers and dealers.

“This is powerful cloud-based software, which joins our web-based
products which are suitable for smaller fleet operators.

“This is also data that will assist anyone involved in the vehicle supply chain from
manufacturers to dealers and leasing companies as well.

“Whether purchasing or selling vehicles, it allows the user of the tool and data to negotiate from a position of strength.”
