     1.General Structure

Mobirar Suite is a set of tools developed to collect, analyse and compare automotive financing and leasing offers (“mobility offers”), as published every months by the main car manufacturers.

Mobirar Suite is made by two major tools:

  • Mobirar Data
  • Mobirar Benchmark

 

     2. Mobirar Data

Mobirar Data is the database of automotive mobility offers collected every month by Mobirar.

 

  • Data collection principles
Source of data Offers data are collected from car manufacturer public websites (“OEM websites”).
Type of offers

Mobirar collects mainly Call to Actions offers (“CTA”) offers, as advertised in the OEM websites.

Only in case of missing CTA, Mobirar may, at its discretion, collect data from the OEM car & financial configurators (“Web configurators”).

Benchmark Perimeter

Mobirar collects data with reference to a limited number of brands and carlines, representing the biggest share of the market in each served country, as detailed in the Mobirar Benchmark Perimeter.

In case the Customer wishes to extend the perimeter of the analysis to brands and / or carlines not currently covered, the Customer can submit a data integration request to Mobirar (email to info@mobirar.com)

Offers selection

For each monitored carline, Mobirar is collecting a minimum of one mobility offer.

In case of multiple offers available in the OEM website for the same carline, based on different financial products (e.g. PCP or Financial Lease), Mobirar will select, at its discretion, the most relevant offer according to the local market practice.

In case of multiple offers available in the OEM website for the same carline, based on different trim/versions, Mobirar will select the cheapest offer, corresponding in most of the cases, to the lowest trim level available.

In case of no offer available for a particular carline, a “NO OFFER” message will be displayed in the Mobirar Data tool.

Frequency of data update

Mobirar collects the data on a monthly base.

Data collection is executed between the 1st and the 10th day of each month.

In case of mobility offer not updated in the OEM website versus the previous month, a “NO UPDATE” message will be displayed in the Mobirar Data tool.

In case of mobility offer multiple updates by the OEM during the month, or in case of update happening after the 10th of the month, Mobirar will not guarantee that the latest updated offer is reflected in the Mobirar Data tool.

 

Data collection method

Mobirar operates the data collection adopting a mix of automated and manual techniques.

Some parameters may be missing for some mobility offers depending on the local country standard and level of details adopted by each single OEM.

Mobirar will verify the reported information and commits to fix the data in the shortest possible delay.

 

     3. Mobirar Benchmark

 

The Mobirar Benchmark tool is designed to deliver immediate, easy to read and meaningful information to the Customer regarding the competitiveness of the mobility offers.

 

3.1 Country Report

 

In this section the Customer can evaluate the competitiveness of each mobility offer, grouped by Segment and FuelType.

The colour scale applied to some of the parameters helps the user identifying the most competitive player in the specific segment.

Columns with no data correspond to carlines without a mobility offer communicated in the month (“NO OFFER”).
