Vehicle Pricing and Specifications being correct and up to date are a key item when using the Sales Order Processing system directly by the Sales Teams. Even if the Sales teams are not creating their own orders, then New Vehicle Specification is required to create vehicles in the Vehicle Administration System.

Navigator provides utilities to enable a dealer to create and maintain the vehicle pricing matrix, but for many franchises, this can become a significant overhead as new models, derivatives or special editions are added or pricing is updated. The introduction of a new Model Year will often mean that the full specification list requires to be created from scratch for the new model year as the specification and pricing it different!

To make life easier, Navigator have teamed with a third party to supply up to date pricing and specification information automatically. A new file is downloaded from the supplier on a daily basis and any updates applied.  This means that the Vehicle pricing and specification database is always up to date.

To get a comparison of the human-cost (time) of maintaining the files yourself compared to using the third party data, please see the video above, which outlines how to create a single model manually. Please bear in mind that for each brand, this would need creating for every derivative/engine size/transmission type for every model in every model year for each brand. For many brands this can easily be in excess of 100 combinations.

The third party data is supplied on a per-Navigator licence basis - at £5 premium per licence.

Should you require this add-on then please contact your Customer Success Manager (for established Navigator Customers) or your Project Manager (for new implementations)
