VIN Standardization & Validation

lfong · Post by **lfong** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:52 pm

I have a requirement to standardize and validate VIN's from all auto manufacturers. Currently RL Polk is contracted to be the 'keeper of record' for all VIN's.
Is it possible to create and load into qualitystage these VINS and any pertinant information to be used in qualitystage similar to the way CASS is used for the addresses?
I am aware rulesets, etc. would have to be written afterwards.

Hi,

This is absolutely possible! QualityStage rules are fully capable of doing this kind of validation. I would think that the biggest (and most costly) challenge is getting VIN data from RL Polk VINtelligence product.

We already have a license for the VIN data from RL Polk. My real question is is it possible to load the data into Qualitystage like CASS address files.

I won't ask how until its's confirmed that's the route that will be taken.

There is no VIN 'prebuilt' process/stage like there is with USAC (CASS). You would need to build it.

Does that help?
