A new business that can simplify the integration of automotive data for fleets has launched in partnership with leading data providers. 

The One Auto API team includes founder Mark Fretwell, formerly of CAP and Chrysalis Solmotive, and Rebecca Worthy, previously support specialist at CAP

Dubbed One Auto API, the new business has been founded by Mark Fretwell, formerly of CAP and Chrysalis Solmotive, to cut the time needed to receive and integrate market data feeds “from months to hours”. 

It means a dealer or fleet manager can more quickly and easily make the most of market intelligence from Cap HPI, Auto Trader, Experian and other insight providers while managing billing and technical documentation through a single dashboard and one monthly invoice. 

Integrating quality data into apps or websites is typically a long and complex process for fleets, dealers, software providers and other automotive websites, apps and services. 

The new system has been designed to simplify every aspect with self-serve instant data access and a single API (application programming interface) which handles data from multiple services through a single dashboard. It also streamlines processes for businesses receiving data from multiple sources. 

Mark Fretwell explained: “We wanted to solve the problem of complex data licensing and integration by eliminating most of the costs in time and energy that make it such hard work for automotive businesses to get up and running then manage their essential data feeds. 

“One Auto API achieves that by reducing implementation time from typically several months to as little as a few hours and then making billing and documentation accessible through a single clear dashboard, using a self-service model.” 

As well as streamlining processes for customers, the work by One Auto API is expected to encourage new players into the market and help existing automotive businesses to grow by developing new information services. 

The team also includes former CAP customer support specialist Rebecca Worthy as client services director; overall, the company has 80 years combined experience of helping businesses make the most of benchmark automotive data.
