Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. (IAA) Selects Audatex as Exclusive Information Provider for NMVTIS Reporting

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Audatex North America, Inc. today announced an agreement with Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. (IAA), one of the leading North American salvage auto auction companies, to become its exclusive vendor for NMVTIS reporting. The Audatex solution will allow IAA to easily report required NMVTIS data on more than 1 million vehicles per year.

Federal U.S. National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) rules, which became effective March 2009, require that reporting entities (insurers, salvage yards, salvage pools, and vehicle shredders) report salvage and total loss vehicles into the national NMVTIS database. As one of the three official data consolidators, Audatex validates vehicle data provided to it by reporting entities before submitting it to NMVTIS. 

"We have worked with Audatex for over 5 years on projects related to the salvage industry. Selecting Audatex to be our NMVTIS reporting vendor was a natural extension of our excellent working relationship. Audatex brings with it proven expertise in software solutions for the salvage and insurance industries," said Tom O'Brien, President for IAA.

Mike Salfity, Managing Director of Audatex for North America, said: "Audatex has a leading presence in the insurance, collision repair and salvage industries. This gives us the unique ability to efficiently enable our customers to meet their NMVTIS reporting obligations and participate in the drive to help consumers avoid fraud.  We are pleased to be selected as IAA's exclusive NMVTIS reporting vendor."
