Datrato operates in the cloud: No software installation needed, and you never have to worry about software maintenance and upgrades.

It is available wherever and whenever you have access to the Internet: on your desktop, laptop, tablet or phone!

1.) DATA

Datrato stores and accesses data—refreshed on a daily basis—from:

NHTSA Complaints
NHTSA Investigations
NHTSA Recalls
NHTSA Technical Service Bulletins
NHTSA Early Warning Volumes
NHTSA Early Warning Death & Injury Information
NHTSA Early Warning Property Damage Information
NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)
CAS Complaints Information

2.) DELIVERY

Datrato users can perform a simple word search, involving as little as one keyword, or an extremely complicated word search, involving hundreds of combinations of keywords and phrases. Datrato even allows for “proximity search” — going beyond the simple matching of words by adding the constraint of proximity, and generally regarded as a form of advanced search which looks for complaints where two or more separately matching term occurrences are within a specified distance, where distance is the number of intermediate words. (For example air-bag related complaints for all manufacturers for model year 2005-2013, or complaints where (‘inadvertent’ or ‘accidental’) appears within 5 words of ‘deploy.’)

Datrato provides:

Instant reports, complete with highlighted keywords to allow for quick review and ease of comprehension
Interactive reporting, allowing the user to drill down deeply into data sets
Custom alerts and notifications relative to new investigations, complaints or NHTSA documents, as well as informational reports on complaints and recalls—delivered on demand.

3.) INTELLIGENCE

Once a search is performed, the information is analyzed and presented in multiple ways to make the data understandable for any level of user. From expert to layman, the easy-to-sort reports allow users to get to what they need in a fast, efficient manner. Reports are quickly available to display statistical and analytical data.

Datrato Technology:

Information parsed and processed for all Open Resumes, Close Resume, and inquiry letters for all investigations
Very powerful, flexible and intuitive search
- Multiple keywords search (e.g., ‘engine’ with ‘fire’ or ‘smoke’ or ‘flame’)
- Proximity search (keyword A is near keyword B: e.g., ‘airbag’ near ‘deploy’)
- Multiple parameter combinations, which may include model year, manufacturer, make and/or model (e.g., ‘2012-2013 Ford, GM, or Toyota vehicles’)
- Search by date ranges: Search by activities in a given week, month, quarter or year, providing rate per vehicles built. (e.g., all complaints in January 2013 for Ford, all complaints in last month, etc.)
- Powerful categorization functionality: Track the new complaints added by NHTSA on a daily basis, with the ability to read and categorize complaints in order to keep ahead of issues and address them.
- Searches within searches, which allows the user to perform word search or proximity search on an existing search, in order to further refine the result set (e.g.: existing word search for ‘airbag’ and sub-search for ‘airbag did not deploy’)
