VEHICLE valuation specialist CAP has signed a contract with computer estimating company Audatex which will make CAP valuations available to more than 1,200 users of the AudaNet electronic communications network.

The agreement means that CAP valuations will be incorporated on Audatex-Graphics. This is the first stage of the agreement and there are plans for future developments, yet to be finalised.

CAP group publishing director Rob Barrowman said: 'We are delighted to be working with the strongest player in the motor insurance and bodyshop repair estimating market. We have strong IT products and believe that making them available on the AudaNet will be highly beneficial to insurers and repairers. This is just the start of the services we will offer to the body repair industry.'
