TRADE X Announces Data Integration Agreement with Leading Automotive Data Provider Canadian Black Book

TORONTO, Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Trade X Group of Companies Inc. (TRADE X), a global B2B cross-border automotive trading platform, today announced that it has signed a data integration agreement with Canadian Black Book (CBB), Canada's leading automotive data provider for vehicle values, residual value forecast solutions and VIN decoding, for undisclosed terms. Canadian Black Book's historical post-transactional wholesale valuation and transactional data, along with their proprietary Enhanced Vehicle Matching VIN Decoding capabilities, will support TRADE X's international vehicle trading software to facilitate maximized conversion and international transactions between dealers on the TRADE X platform.

The partnership between TRADE X and Canadian Black Book will facilitate the trade of pre-owned vehicles between Canada and the US. The data integration with CBB will provide valuation data to car dealers, importers, exporters, fleet owners, rental companies, and mobility solution providers on the TRADE X platform, allowing for transparent and real-time pricing on marketplace vehicles.

"TRADE X is filling a gap in the industry by offering a robust digital automation tool to manage the seamless flow of vehicles through foreign trade, which is a massive business," says Yolanda Biswah, Vice President Sales for Canadian Black Book. "The integration of Canadian Black Book data into TRADE X's enhanced platform will ensure both Canadian and U.S. dealers are accessing the most precise North American automotive data available, throughout their transaction," she adds.  

"TRADE X provides a seamless solution for trading pre-owned vehicles internationally. We have deployed a digital platform whereby dealers, in different countries, can buy and sell cars through a safe marketplace with transparent data and automated transactions. We automate the processes and services that go into getting a vehicle from one market to another. This is a multi-billion-dollar market in terms of global pre-owned automotive sales volume with no digital platform to service it, until now," says Ryan Davidson, Founder & CEO at TRADE X.  "With our first phase focusing on vehicle flow from Canada to the US, we knew we needed to partner with the most accurate and trusted Canadian data provider, and Canadian Black Book was our obvious choice. The combination of TRADE X's real-time transactional data with the historical information from our partner at Canadian Black Book provides TRADE X with a data set that is unmatched and adds the most strategic value to the cross-border automotive industry. The industry has been desperately needing the transactional data that we have, and it will provide a critical competitive advantage to those who have access to it," he adds.
