Car Dealers & OEMs

From trade-in appraisal to sales, finance, compliance, and aftersales - accurate vehicle data at every touchpoint. Verify identity, check risk, confirm registration, and ensure your reporting is right.

​

InfoAgent gives dealerships and OEMs API access to verified Australian vehicle data - sourced directly from NEVDIS, the PPSR, and trusted Channel Partners.

BOOK A DEMO

Step 1

A vehicle enters the business - as a trade-in, a new sale, an auction purchase, or a service booking

Step 2

InfoAgent returns verified identity, specs, risk flags, registration, and PPSR data in < 300ms

Step 3

Your DMS, finance system, and compliance records are populated with accurate, consistent data from the start

One lookup. One source of truth. Every department working from the same verified record - from appraisal through to sale, finance, workshop, and disposal.

What Data Is Available?

Our API returns the complete set of vehicle data that dealerships and OEMs need across their operations:

Confirmed make, model, series, variant, trim, and body type. The foundation of every appraisal, every sale, and every compliance record.

VIN Verification

Cross-check the VIN against NEVDIS records to confirm the vehicle is legitimate and the identity hasn’t been tampered with.

Build & Compliance Dates

Year of manufacture vs compliance plate date. Critical for accurate VFACTS reporting, warranty determination, and vehicle age assessment.

Current registration, expiry date, and jurisdiction. Confirm vehicles are registered before sale. Avoid fines and declined insurance claims from unregistered stock.

WOVR records including damage codes and statutory vs repairable classification. Must be checked on every trade-in and disclosed to buyers under consumer protection law.

Existing security interests registered against the vehicle. Must be checked before purchasing trade-ins and cleared before completing a sale.

Market value and projected residual data. Supports trade-in appraisals, pricing decisions, and finance calculations.

Where the vehicle is registered - useful for fleet trade-ins, monitoring floorplan stock, and interstate compliance.

Need a different combination of fields? A custom response format? Data bundled differently for your workflow? We're built to adapt.

All data is queryable by rego, VIN, or chassis number. Combine multiple datasets in a single API call. Batch processing is available for stock audits, end-of-month reporting, and portfolio-wide data cleansing.

In Practice

Here’s how a single rego or VIN lookup transforms common dealership interactions:

Touchpoint

Without

InfoAgent

With

InfoAgent

Trade-in desk

Parts department

VFACTS submission

Service drive

Stock listing

Auction purchase

Customer says it’s a 2020 RAV4. Appraiser doesn’t check variant. Offer is $3k too high for the base model. Margin eroded on resale.

Buyer selects “Mazda 3, 2020” from a dropdown. Three engine options shown. Buyer picks wrong one. Part doesn’t fit.

New vehicle sale submitted with the wrong variant code. FCAI data is inaccurate. Dealer flagged for correction.

Customer arrives for a service. Advisor manually enters vehicle details. Wrong service interval applied. Customer overcharged.

Used vehicle listed online with incorrect specs. Buyer arrives, vehicle doesn’t match listing. Deal falls through.

Vehicle bought at auction. Write-off history and PPSR encumbrance discovered after the vehicle is on the yard.

Rego lookup confirms RAV4 GX 2WD, 2.0L petrol. Correct variant identified. Offer reflects actual market value for a 2WD. PPSR clear, no write-off.

VIN verified against NEVDIS. PPSR registration populated with confirmed details. Security interest is defensible.

Make, model, series, and variant confirmed against NEVDIS at point of sale. Submission is accurate first time.

Rego lookup populates vehicle specs, warranty status, and service intervals. Correct service quoted. Customer trust maintained.

Listing auto-populated with verified data. Specs, variant, and colour match the actual vehicle. Buyer engagement improves.

Stolen, write-off, and PPSR checks run before bidding. Risk factors identified. Informed purchase decision made.

Every scenario is the same story: verified data at the right touchpoint prevents the error, protects the margin, and builds the customer’s confidence.

Use Cases

Here’s how dealerships and OEMs use InfoAgent across the vehicle lifecycle - from the moment a car enters the business to the moment it leaves.

Trade-In Appraisal & Vehicle Purchasing

The trade-in desk is where data accuracy matters most. A wrong identification means a wrong valuation - and by the time you discover the error, it’s already cost you.

​

  • Instantly identify the exact vehicle from a rego lookup - no reliance on the customer’s description of their own car

  • Run stolen, write-off, and PPSR checks before making an offer - catch risk factors that should discount or disqualify the vehicle

  • Access detailed specs to differentiate between variants that look similar but price differently

  • Use build and compliance dates to catch age-related discrepancies that affect value

  • Support consistent appraisal standards across multiple dealership locations

Sales & Customer Delivery

When a customer is sitting in front of your sales team, speed and confidence matter. Verified vehicle data makes the interaction faster and builds trust.

​

  • Auto-populate sales documentation with verified vehicle details from a single rego or VIN lookup

  • Provide customers with transparent vehicle history - registration, write-off, PPSR, and ADAS data - building confidence at point of sale

  • Display EV charging specs, warranty status, and safety features in customer-facing presentations

  • Confirm registration status before handover to avoid delivering an unregistered vehicle

  • Support online sales channels with the same verified data that powers your showroom

Finance & Insurance (F&I)

The F&I office depends on accurate vehicle data for loan applications, PPSR registrations, insurance quotes, and compliance documentation. Errors here create legal and financial exposure.

​

  • Populate finance applications with verified vehicle identity, specs, and valuation data

  • Register security interests on the PPSR with correct VIN, make, model, and variant details - inaccurate registrations may be unenforceable

  • Run PPSR checks on trade-ins to confirm no existing encumbrances before completing the deal

  • Support accurate insurance quoting by providing verified specs, ADAS features, and write-off history

  • Maintain audit-ready records with timestamped, structured data from every vehicle transaction

VFACTS Reporting & Compliance

VFACTS reporting requires exact make, model, and variant data for every new vehicle sale. Getting it wrong means inaccurate industry data and potential FCAI compliance issues.

​

  • Verify make, model, series, and variant against NEVDIS before submitting VFACTS sales data

  • Confirm build and compliance dates to ensure correct model-year reporting

  • Meet consumer protection obligations by checking and disclosing write-off, stolen, and PPSR status on used vehicles

  • Run batch audits across stock to identify vehicles with incorrect or incomplete records

Workshop & Service Department

When a vehicle arrives for service, the workshop needs accurate specs to plan the job, order parts, and quote the customer. A rego lookup gives them everything in seconds.

​

  • Understand if the vehicle is currently registered and road legal before it enters the service department

  • Auto-fill repair orders with verified vehicle specifications from a rego lookup

  • Identify ADAS features that affect service scope - calibration requirements, sensor locations, camera systems

  • Check warranty status to confirm whether the repair is covered before authorising work

  • Retrieve EV and battery data for electric vehicles entering the workshop

  • Speed up the service booking process by auto-populating vehicle details and service intervals

Stock Management & Remarketing

Clean, accurate stock records improve listing quality, reduce time-on-yard, and support better pricing decisions across your used vehicle inventory.

​

  • Auto-populate stock listings with verified specs, reducing manual data entry and listing errors

  • Confirm write-off and stolen status before listing a vehicle for sale - protect your dealership’s reputation

  • Use OEM paint codes to verify original colour and identify vehicles that may have been resprayed

  • Run batch lookups across your entire yard to audit stock data quality and flag inconsistencies

  • Support classified and marketplace listings with structured, accurate vehicle data that improves buyer engagement

OEM & Distributor Operations

For OEMs and national distributors, vehicle data accuracy at scale is non-negotiable. From warranty administration to recall management and network compliance, the data must be right.

​

  • Verify registration details across the dealer network to ensure VFACTS accuracy and compliance

  • Support warranty administration with verified build dates, compliance data, and VIN validation

  • Track vehicle distribution by registration locality for network planning and marketing

  • Monitor dealer stock accuracy with batch audits that cross-reference NEVDIS records

  • Enrich CRM and customer databases with accurate vehicle specifications for targeted communication

Floorplan Finance Monitoring

For floorplan finance providers working with dealer networks, InfoAgent offers a vehicle monitoring service that helps you keep track of assets without visiting the yard.

​

  • Monitor registration status and locality changes across your floorplan portfolio to detect when vehicles have been sold

  • Receive alerts when a vehicle’s registration details change - indicating a sale that should trigger repayment

  • Reduce the cost and frequency of physical audits by supplementing them with data-driven monitoring

  • Confirm vehicle identity and encumbrance status remotely, across multiple dealer locations

 

This service is specifically designed for floorplan lenders and asset managers who need continuous visibility over dealer inventory without the overhead of on-site inspections.
