Additionally, a market stock and pricing comparison portal for OEMs and leasing companies aims to demonstrate Cazana’s focus on penetrating these sectors.

The update also includes Cazana Monthly, which adds static used car valuations for a fixed monthly view.
The system has been developed for a Chinese OEM Stockcompare benchmarks regional prices and demand against competitors.
