What Informex does

Informex is a Belgian software and data services company (S.A.) founded in 1983 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Solera since 2005. Headquartered across Kraainem and Evere with approximately 17 employees, the company automates administrative processes for the automotive and non-life insurance sectors in Belgium. It serves as Solera's localized Belgian platform entity, connecting three stakeholder groups: automotive body shops (carrossiers), insurance companies/leasers, and fleet operators.

The core product, Winformex II, is a cloud-based platform enabling body shops to generate quotes — with payment settled within 7 days — using integrated VIN-based vehicle identification and the Audatex calculation engine. The broader portfolio includes the Informex Claims Platform (digital claims management for insurers and leasers), IVO (accidented vehicle marketplace), QuickGlass (windshield identification), CarDNA and IRES (VIN-based vehicle data services), AudaGarage (web-based estimates), Fleet Solutions (Mentor, RoadNet Anywhere, SmartDrive Protect), and Claims360. The vehicle database covers 99% of the Belgian driving fleet with weekly updates, referencing 70 manufacturers.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based pricing (€14.84 HTVA per quote on Winformex II) combined with subscription/recurring fees for platform services and fleet solutions. Distribution is direct B2B via a structured connection/onboarding process, supplemented by web portals and Solera University training. Customer segments are split between enterprise buyers (insurers, leasers, fleet operators) and SMB buyers (body shops and glass specialists).

Broad incumbents

• Solera Holdings: Solera is Informex's parent company and global vehicle-lifecycle management platform, serving 300,000+ customers across 100+ countries through Vehicle Claims, Vehicle Repair, Vehicle Solutions, and Fleet Solutions. Provides the strategic context and shared product infrastructure against which Informex's Belgian operations should be benchmarked.
• Audatex (Solera): Audatex is Informex's sister company within Solera and provides the calculation engine integrated into Winformex II. Same parent group, overlapping customer base (insurers, body shops), and shared product DNA — making it the most structurally comparable peer despite being part of the same corporate family.
• eDriving (Solera): eDriving provides the Mentor driver-risk app and SmartDrive Protect AI video safety platform that Informex distributes to Belgian fleets. Sister company within Solera and the direct technology peer for Informex's driver-safety and fleet-risk-management revenue stream.
• CAP HPI (Solera): CAP HPI is a Solera-owned vehicle data and valuation provider in Europe. Directly comparable to Informex's CarDNA and IRES services for VIN-based vehicle identification, valuation, and equipment lookup, and operates in adjacent European geographies Informex has not entered.
• Omnitracs (Solera): Omnitracs is the Solera-owned fleet telematics and route optimisation provider behind RoadNet Anywhere, which Informex resells in Belgium. Comparable to Informex's Fleet Solutions distribution arm and relevant as the underlying technology peer for the logistics/insurance integration use case.

Direct peers

• CCC Intelligent Solutions: CCC Intelligent Solutions is a leading US-based provider of automotive claims management software for insurers, body shops, and OEMs. Direct competitor to Informex Claims Platform and Winformex II, serving the same claims workflow with similar product breadth across estimating, repair workflow, and insurer connectivity.
• Mitchell International: Mitchell International provides automotive physical damage claims, estimating, and workflow solutions to insurers and repairers across North America and Europe. Closely comparable to Informex in serving the body-shop-to-insurer claims interface with estimation, VIN lookup, and parts-pricing capabilities.

Emerging players

• Tractable: Tractable applies AI computer vision to auto damage appraisal and claims acceleration, directly competing with Informex's Smart Expertise digitisation initiative. Targets the same insurance-carrier customer base but focuses on AI-driven photo-based estimation rather than full claims workflow.
• CAPE Analytics: CAPE Analytics applies AI and geospatial imagery to property and vehicle risk assessment for insurers. Partially comparable to Informex's VIN-data and risk-scoring ambitions (IRES) but focused on property; represents the kind of AI-first insurtech peer that could pressure Informex's data moat.
• Snapsheet: Snapsheet is a US-based virtual claims management platform connecting policyholders, insurers, and repair shops with digital appraisal workflows. Comparable to Informex Claims Platform in digitising the auto-expertise process and supporting direct-to-insurer payment flows for body shops.
