Arnold Clark has renewed its partnership with Solera cap hpi in order to strengthen vehicle acquisition, improve operational efficiency and support profitability across its retail and remarketing businesses.
The new three-year agreement covers the full suite of Solera cap hpi data and services, including access to cap hpi valuations, HPI provenance checks, and Daily Movement Report.
Stuart Thorpe, company secretary at Arnold Clark, said: “Our relationship with Solera cap hpi has been built over many years because its data consistently helps us make better commercial decisions.
“Reliable valuation and provenance information are fundamental to how we buy, manage and retail vehicles. Renewing for a further three years reflects the confidence we have in both the quality of the data and the partnership behind it.
“The continued development of services such as Incident History, together with the integration into our own systems, will help us improve efficiency, strengthen due diligence and continue delivering confidence for our customers.”
Incident History data will be used across Arnold Clark and Central Car Auctions, with integration into the group’s Invent auction management platform enabling buyers to identify previously unrecorded damage events earlier in the vehicle appraisal process.
The retailer will continue to use its bespoke Arnold Clark Approved Check, developed with Solera cap hpi, which includes mileage investigation data to provide additional reassurance for customers.
Wendy Swaine, head of strategic relationships at Solera cap hpi, said: “Arnold Clark is one of the UK’s most respected automotive retailers, so extending our partnership is something we’re incredibly proud of. Long-term relationships are built on trust, consistency and a shared commitment to continual improvement.
“The business continues to evolve how it uses data across retail and remarketing, from valuation insight through the Daily Movement Report to integrating our latest Incident History intelligence into its own platforms.
“That demonstrates how high-quality automotive data can support better decisions, reduce risk and improve profitability throughout the vehicle lifecycle.”
