A CAP spokesman explained: “For a long period of time we have had the pleasure of working with over 100 third parties across the entire automotive industry, developing long-standing working relationships with these companies.

“The new CAP Accredited Partner scheme enables us to give something back. After all, it is the innovations of CAP’s key partners – suppliers, system providers and re-sellers – that have amplified the value of our data and the CAP Code that links all our data sets.”

Founded in 1979, CAP is a premier provider of benchmark current and future pricing information, together with technical data, to business and consumers.  CAP underpins business systems throughout the motor retail, fleet, finance and insurance sectors.

Ian Tudor, senior account manager, Sword Apak (pictured) said: “The interface management layer of WFS allows for easy integration to third party data sources and plays an important role in streamlining the wholesale funding process.
