Who Uses Compliance Data?
Compliance touches every business that deals with vehicles. Here’s how different industries use InfoAgent data to meet their obligations:
Finance Companies & Lenders
Accurate vehicle details are essential when registering a security interest on the PPSR. If the data on the register doesn’t match the actual vehicle, your security interest may be unenforceable - and your position as a creditor is at risk.
-
Populate PPSR registrations with verified VIN, make, model, and variant data
-
Monitor registration status and encumbrance changes across your loan book
-
Run batch audits to identify stale or inaccurate records before they become a problem
-
Maintain audit trails with timestamped data for regulatory inspections
Insurance Providers
From underwriting through to claims settlement, insurers need vehicle data they can defend. Accurate identity, registration, and risk data supports compliance with regulatory obligations and strengthens audit preparedness.
-
Verify vehicle details at point of quote to prevent mis-rated premiums
-
Confirm write-off and stolen status before settling claims or issuing payouts
-
Check PPSR for secured parties before paying out on total losses
-
Support regulatory reporting with clean, standardised vehicle records
Car Dealers & OEMs
Dealers have obligations under consumer protection law to disclose known vehicle history. They also need accurate data for VFACTS reporting, finance documentation, and trade-in verification.
-
Confirm write-off and stolen status before selling or taking a vehicle on trade
-
Ensure VFACTS sales data is submitted with correct make, model, and variant details
-
Run PPSR checks to verify no existing encumbrances before completing a sale
-
Maintain accurate stock records that match the actual vehicles on the lot
Fleet & Leasing Companies
Fleet operators carry duty-of-care obligations for every vehicle and driver in their fleet. Accurate, current vehicle data is the foundation of that compliance.
-
Monitor registration status and expiry dates across the entire fleet
-
Maintain verified asset registers that stand up to internal and external audit
-
Track ADAS features for fleet safety compliance and duty-of-care obligations
-
Confirm GVM and mass compliance for heavy vehicle fleets under chain-of-responsibility laws
Government & Regulators
Government agencies depend on accurate vehicle data for enforcement, revenue collection, transport planning, and public safety. Compliance at this level means data that’s authoritative, current, and auditable.
-
Confirm registration status and vehicle class for revenue and CTP administration
-
Validate heavy vehicle mass and PBS compliance for transport regulation
-
Support law enforcement with verified vehicle identity data across all jurisdictions
Automotive Software Platforms
If your platform serves any of the industries above, your users expect the data in your system to be compliance-grade. Embedding InfoAgent data gives your product that credibility.
-
Ensure your DMS, quoting, or fleet platform outputs compliance-ready data
-
Reduce your users’ compliance burden by automating vehicle data verification
-
Differentiate your product with data sourced from authorised, auditable providers
Common Workflows
Here’s how our data fits into the compliance processes your team is already running:
PPSR registration and maintenance
Verify vehicle details before registering a security interest, and re-verify periodically to keep registrations accurate. Our free 14-day PPSR status monitoring keeps you current between searches
End-of-month portfolio audits
Run batch lookups across your entire loan book, fleet register, or insurance portfolio to identify stale, incorrect, or flagged records. Process thousands of vehicles in a single run
Pre-sale due diligence
Check stolen, write-off, PPSR, and registration status before every acquisition or sale. Meet consumer protection obligations and reduce post-sale exposure
VFACTS and industry reporting
Confirm exact make, model, variant, and compliance details so your regulatory submissions are accurate first time
Fleet registration monitoring
Track registration status and expiry dates across multi-state fleets. Get ahead of lapses before they create compliance gaps or uninsured driving exposure
Heavy vehicle mass and PBS verification
Confirm GVM, GCM, tare mass, and PBS approval numbers for transport chain-of-responsibility compliance
