CGI Group and Sherlock Antitheft Marking have announced a partnership that will add Sherlock's vehicle identification data to CGI's AutoPlus suite of products and services.
AutoPlus contains more than 30 million policies from 70-plus companies in Canada. The database is accessed by approximately 8,000 insurance brokers and agents more than two million times per year.
Sherlock's vehicle identification process uses sandblasting and electronic engraving to mark 52 known and confidential locations on an automobile. This identification of the vehicle (cross referenced with the Vehicle Identification Number) is kept in a database that is exclusively accessed by police, public authorities, insurance companies, and going forward, the AutoPlus database.
"Including our intensive antitheft marking data in CGI's AutoPlus suite of products will assist our mutual clients to confirm the identity of the vehicle they insure plus help prevent vehicle theft and fraud in Canada," says Gerry Garand, business development manager in Ontario for Sherlock.
"This initiative demonstrates CGI's ongoing commitment to improve our services," says Wayne Beck, vice president, consulting services for CGI. "Indicating the vehicle has been 'marked' by Sherlock will maximize the value of both CGI's and Sherlock's products for clients."
