Volvo New and Used data Capture automatically creates a file containing the following details when a new or used sale is invoiced:
Name and address
Home and work telephone numbers and fax number
E-mail address
Mail/telephone/e-mail preferences
Reg and VIN numbers
New Car Registration Date
Date of Used Sale
Mileage
Used Car Retail Sale Price
The resulting file is then automatically transmitted to Volvo Car UK on a daily basis to enable the Volvo Customer Database to be updated. This will improve the quality of the data held within the Volvo Customer Database, which should in turn improve the accuracy of future marketing and communication campaigns carried out by Volvo.
When the extract runs, it reads down the VSB tables for all Volvo vehicles (new and used) that have been invoiced since the last extract run date. When a vehicle has been identified for extract, the system gathers the required target information, and once all records have been collated it sends a file to Volvo for processing.
There is one interface used in this product. To set up the product for use after installation, access to the interface should be carried out.
On access to the interface, the relevant tables are created and populated with the majority of data required to run. For completion of set-up, the locations must be added, and a timed operation must be added so that it can run automatically.
Note: In order for the set-up to be completed, a list of valid locations must be entered for the extract to check against when running. These are entered as a string of text with no gaps or commas.
