No Compromise on Compliance: Why Ethical Data Matters More Than Ever
In an industry built on trust, there’s no room for grey areas. At Solera caphpi, compliance isn’t a box we tick at the end of a process — it’s the foundation of everything we do. Every vehicle record we handle, every insight we deliver, and every partnership we form is built on one unwavering principle: no compromise on compliance. Data You Can Trust, Because It’s Data We Can Trace Vehicle data fuels decisions that shape lives and livelihoods — from financing and insurance to safety and security. But in a world awash with unverified and grey-market data, the stakes have never been higher. That’s why every single data set caphpi provides is sourced only from traceable, legally compliant providers — including the DVLA, insurers, and trusted trade bodies. If a source can’t be verified, it doesn’t make it through the door. This isn’t just about meeting regulations. It’s about protecting our partners, their customers, and the reputation of an entire industry. Compliance Isn’t Optional — It’s Essential In regulated markets, cutting corners isn’t just risky — it’s unacceptable. That’s why we lead with integrity, ensuring our processes meet the highest compliance standards, and our data remains audit-ready at every stage. When you work with caphpi, you’re not just getting information — you’re getting assurance. Assurance that your business decisions are backed by data that has been verified, secured, and sourced the right way. Setting the Standard for the Industry Our commitment to compliance goes beyond obligation. We believe in raising the bar for what ethical data should look like. By rejecting shortcuts and championing fully traceable, transparent practices, we’re helping to steer the automotive sector toward a safer, more accountable future. Because in this industry, ethical isn’t optional — it’s essential. Find out more now
Know Your Source: Building a Data Supply Chain You Can Stand Behind
Know Your Source: Building a Data Supply Chain You Can Stand Behind Why traceability, transparency, and ethical sourcing are non-negotiable in modern automotive data. The Problem: More Data ≠ Better Decisions Data is everywhere in our industry. It fuels asset valuations, risk assessments, warranty pricing, and underwriting decisions. But more data doesn’t always mean better decisions — especially when its origins are unclear. Today, too much vehicle data comes from unverifiable, outdated sources — or through data scraping methods that offer no visibility or accountability. “If you can’t trace where your data comes from, how can you defend the decisions it supports?” — Chris Wright, Vice President Solera Northern Europe What It Means to “Know Your Source” At Solera caphpi, we don’t just provide data. We provide data you can trace, trust, and stand behind. That’s why we adhere to three foundational principles: 1. Source Integrity Every dataset we deliver is tied to a verifiable origin — from DVLA records to insurer feeds and validated trade sources. This allows our clients to audit, trace, and challenge data with confidence. 2. Compliance-Ready Structuring We build data with regulation in mind. Our systems are designed to support audit trails and legal defensibility, keeping our clients ahead of ever-evolving compliance requirements. 3. Ethical Data Curation We reject grey-area aggregation. Every partner we work with must meet strict transparency and ethics standards, covering everything from collection to governance. The Non-Negotiables That Define Solera caphpi This is not a framework. It’s our non-negotiable policy — and it’s what sets us apart: – Don’t guess – We verify everything. No assumptions, no shortcuts. – Restrict the grey areas– If a data source isn’t transparent, we don’t use it. – Stay accountable – We openly publish our sourcing standards and welcome client audits. What’s at Stake for Automotive Businesses Working with unverifiable data puts your business at risk: – Asset misvaluation — from inaccurate vehicle histories – Fraud exposure — from unverified mileage and ownership records – Legal scrutiny — when data can’t stand up to external challenges – Reputational damage — when you can’t prove your claims What You Get with Solera caphpi When you partner with us, you gain access to a transparent, defensible data ecosystem: – Real-time feeds from verified, named sources – Documentation and full audit trails – Clear distinction between primary and secondary data – Uptime, support, and data cadence trusted by the UK’s largest brands Recognition You Can Rely On We’re proud to say that Solera cap hpi has once again been recognised for excellence, winning Best Used Car Valuations Provider at the Car Dealer Power Awards 2025 — for the second year running. It’s further proof that accuracy, service, and integrity are at the core of everything we do.
