ATD Solutions has launched a new software
package that identifies and cross-matches vehicle data from one
organisation’s coding system to another.
With data providers such as Glass’s, FleetNet
and CDL, as well as individual vehicle manufacturers, each having
their own vehicle codes, encoding and cross-matching data is a
common problem for companies involved in all parts of the industry,
from vehicle sales, finance and insurance, through to servicing,
repairs and parts supply.

The Leeds-based software developer claims its
Vehicle Matching System (VMS) will cross-match vehicles in bulk to
any industry coding standard, and also cross-link vehicles from one
coding standard to another.
It can work with vehicle data held in any
storage format, and cope with vehicle descriptions of varying
quality and accuracy. Its data matching algorithms handle different
terminology, abbreviations, concatenations, and missing and
incomplete data.
ATD Solutions says its product can match
thousands of vehicles in minutes. With every suggested match, other
possible matches are offered and ranked in order, with the user
able to select a match manually and override the system. When
matches are saved, VMS learns from decisions made to help with
later matching runs.
Glass’s director of data and data partnerships
Peter McCullough said: “I engaged ATD to assist us in a complete
quality assurance review of all the cross-reference data we
maintain to match Glass’s vehicle codes to other industry codes.
These include CAP, MVRIS (SMMT) and FleetNet for both cars and
LCVs. VMS was used to provide an automated match of over a quarter
of a million vehicle codes and intelligently highlight any of our
existing matches that needed further review.”

matching as a service to help customers with a one-off vehicle
coding requirement or where there is backlog to overcome before VMS
can be taken in-house.”
