Cap hpi, the UK’s leading provider of vehicle provenance checks, has announced a significant expansion of its data capabilities through strategic partnerships. The company has teamed up with SYNETIQ, an integrated vehicle recycling company, to receive comprehensive information on salvage total loss vehicles. Additionally, cap hpi has integrated data from Audatex, a global leader in risk and asset management data, which supports over 2 million vehicle assessments annually and manages 85% of UK insurance claims.
The integration of data from SYNETIQ and Audatex marks a major milestone for cap hpi, allowing users of its HPI Check service to access a more detailed and transparent vehicle history. This enhanced service will provide a clearer picture of a vehicle’s past, including incident histories and total loss information.
