A new survey on the use and importance of data to the remarketing and retail sector is being launched by JATO Dynamics and the Vehicle Remarketing Association, the results of which will be published at the 2026 VRA Automotive Summit.
The joint insight document will cover areas including the negative implications that data gaps have upon businesses in terms of pricing, stock, profits, forecasting, and challenges towards electrification. Anyone in the sector who wants to add input can take part at https://tinyurl.com/24cmrjwn.
Taking place at The Slate, Warwick University, on Wednesday 25 November, this year’s Summit will bring together representatives from across the automotive and remarketing sectors to examine the key issues shaping the industry.
As a partner at the event, JATO will have a strong presence on the day, with Paul Hilton, head of retail, presenting to delegates on remarketing and retail. Also, Helen Fisk, head of product strategy, innovation, management and governance, will set the scene for the event’s fleet session.
Philip Nothard, Chair at the VRA, said: “We’re delighted to have JATO Dynamics involved in the Summit this year. As an expert in automotive data, they bring a wealth of knowledge and insight to the event, something essential as the industry continues to navigate a rapidly changing market.
“The report we are jointly producing will provide an extensive look at the role of data within the industry, an area which is only increasing in relevance as digitalisation increases. The findings will be exclusively available to delegates, so we’d encourage anyone wanting access to the report to register now. Places are filling up fast, and attendance is free.”
Paul Hilton, head of retail at JATO Dynamics, said: “The VRA Summit is a must-attend event, and we’re pleased to add our support. It provides a great opportunity to engage directly with the industry and contribute to the wider remarketing conversation.”
