Solera Audatex has launched its Historical Repair Index (HRI) on the Irish market. This provides specific repair metrics at the Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) level for vehicles in Ireland.

Solera Audatex has built on an existing product design in use with insurers in the UK and built a database based on Audatex data specifically for the market here in Ireland.

This enables a unique alternative to MIPI and has been proven to help predict accident damage spend. Available via API at Point of Quote (POQ), the metrics are tailorable to underwriters’ preferred definitions. It is also available in batch for retro-coding.

Tom Hart, Solera Audatex head of Irish sales said: “I’m delighted to bring this exciting product and collaboration to the Irish market and we believe it will be an excellent addition to Irish underwriters.”

Solera will be exhibiting at next year’s Auto Trade EXPO, which takes place from May 7-8, 2022 at Citywest Exhibition Centre in Dublin.
