Clear Vehicle Data has launched a new whole-life cost comparison solution to bring indepth data for medium-sized and larger fleets.
Using independent data compiled by International Decision Systems (IDS), the tool – dubbed Whole Life Cost Pro – joins the firm's existing Whole Life Cost Lite and Business versions, which also include Company Car Benefit in Kind and Employer's National Insurance calculators.
The new solution is aimed at larger fleets and is designed to assist fleets with vehicle selection, fleet policy list decisions and purchase negotiations. It can also be used for benchmarking contract hire quotes and as a dynamic tool for anyone involved in negotiating vehicle sales or supply.
Bespoke features on the new tool 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.
All the tools are supported by independent data compiled by IDS. Although the core new vehicle data is sourced from vehicle manufacturers, forecasts within the tool are prepared by independent automotive industry experts.
