Jato Dynamics and Autobiz partner to revolutionise vehicle valuation and identification

By / 1 month ago / News / No Comments

Jato Dynamics and Autobiz have officially launched a strategic partnership aimed at providing the industry’s most comprehensive vehicle identification and valuation solution across 22 European markets.

The unified ‘specs-to-valuation’ framework tracks a vehicle’s entire lifecycle

The collaboration merges Jato’s database of structured vehicle specifications and historical pricing with Autobiz’s advanced used car market intelligence and residual value (RV) forecasting.

The result is a unified ‘specs-to-valuation’ framework that tracks a vehicle’s entire lifecycle – from the moment it leaves the factory to its eventual sale on the used market.

Aimed at OEMs, leasing companies, mobility providers and financial institutions, the solution will set a new benchmark for accuracy, transparency and efficiency in automotive data across Europe, the firms say.

The European automotive landscape is currently facing unprecedented complexity, driven by rapid electrification, shifting regulatory pressures and significant volatility in residual values. For OEMs, leasing companies and financial firms, having a ‘single source of truth’ is no longer a luxury but a necessity for maintaining operational efficiency.

“By uniting Jato’s unparalleled specifications with Autobiz’s trusted valuation science, we are delivering the most complete and integrated view of a vehicle’s lifecycle,” said Jake Shafran, CEO and founder of Jato Dynamics.

Emmanuel Labi, president of Autobiz, echoed this sentiment: “We are enabling automotive players to connect identification, valuation and forecasting across the entire vehicle lifecycle.”

The partnership will deliver a deep technical integration of both companies’ core products.

Autobiz will integrate selected Jato data attributes into several of its key solutions, resulting in enhanced VIN identification, more precise forecasting, and new and enhanced dashboards. This allows for a more granular mapping of specific vehicle trims and options to their real-world market value.

Jato will natively embed Autobiz’s valuation intelligence into its own ecosystem. This will bring enhanced solutions where valuations are natively linked to the most complete specifications data in the market, plus a unified ‘specs-to-valuation’ experience within key platforms, giving customers instant access to both technical attributes and market value.

In addition, future Jato dashboards and insights products will be augmented with Autobiz valuation intelligence, delivering a full vehicle lifecycle view — from new car launch to used car forecast.

Joint solutions are already live and delivering results for major international clients. Notably, Europcar Mobility Group recently selected the combined Jato x Autobiz solution to harmonise its vehicle identification and pricing accuracy across its European fleet operations.
