CARPROOF launches product lab in Kitchener’s Communitech Hub

As further proof of its diversification, CARPROOF has opened its new Product Lab in Kitchener’s Communitech Hub.

Calling itself Canada’s “definitive source of automotive information,” CARPROOF said its quest for innovation makes Communitech the perfect environment to house its continued evolution.

The Communitech Hub currently supports a community of over 1,400 tech companies ranging from startups to large global corporations. It was founded in 1997 by a group of entrepreneurs committed to making Ontario’s Waterloo Region a global innovation leader.

“Setting up the Product Lab gives us access to the world-class tech eco-system within Communitech,” says Greg Beckman, vice-president of product management at CARPROOF.

“Being a part of this family brings invaluable opportunities to connect with new partners, networks and talent.”

Beckman went on to say that CARPROOF’s continual growth provides increasing opportunities to build new experiences and solutions for the industry.

The London, Ont.,-based company is a unit of IHS Markit. It draws on millions of data records from thousands of sources in Canada to drive not only its vehicle history report business but also a number of other solutions for dealers, OEMs, auctions, consumers, governments, insurance providers and police agencies.

Moving Tips - Changing homes isn't always easy

We recently moved offices and got us thinking about all our customers that have to relocate to a new home.

Best selling vehicles in Canada This June, there was a 2 per cent drop in total sales and the first-half of 2018 ends as the second-strongest start to the year in Canadian history. Canadians have bought and leased more than 2 million vehicles in 2018 for just the second time ever, but that’s with fewer total sales than last year. More Canadians are acquiring new vehicles by getting into longer-term loans, having been attracted to car dealer showrooms with strong incentives but still the Canadian auto industry may not be as healthy as it appears on paper. Vehicle sales in the first 6 months of 2018 According to Global Automakers of Canada, 1.04 million new vehicles were sold between January and June.

Honda and Toyota, for instance, sold nearly 5,000 fewer Corollas and Civics in the first-half of 2018 compared wi...
