In an exciting and innovative move, SAM has developed integrated links directly from the software to the NZTA vehicle data systems.
According to SAM Operations Manager Raju Bhana, dozens of SAM clients have jumped at the chance to access data directly from the motor vehicle register to check information such as Warrant Of Fitness expiry dates, Registration dates and Ownership confirmation.
"We built our own server infrastructure to handle the connections", says Bhana, "And with our partner Carjam, we are now providing the first and only truly integrated business software system available in the market and providing this for a fraction of the cost of the same information via other sources."
"Already we are processing several thousand data searches per month and this is steadily growing as we add new clients and existing clients find more ways of using the data."
Bhana says benefits are not restricted to cost savings, time savings and convenience adding "Accuracy is also hugely improved once people aren't having to copy data from one screen or report into the system. In one case we identified and corrected over 300 VIN numbers on new vehicles that had been incorrectly entered by a manufacturer. This represents a saving of literally thousands of dollars in lost time and wasted resource that would have occurred later."
