A TREAD Act compliance solution from Teradata incorporates external data from other sources, such as the customer complaints, that the NHTSA receives from drivers. The Teradata solution takes the NHTSA textual data, passes it through its text analyzer engine, and groups the complaints based on TREAD categories. The resulting data allow the manufacturer to compare customer complaints against those of similar companies in the same industry. The comparison is vital because if all the manufacturers are experiencing similar problems in a similar category, then the manufacturer can quickly determine that it's a supplier issue across the industry and take corrective action.

Teradata is best positioned to provide a cost efficient, flexible, comprehensive end-to-end TREAD Act solution. The Teradata solution is unique because it is a data-driven solution as opposed to a single-point, TREAD reporting solution. The Teradata solution is best positioned to help manufacturers avoid the potential cost of fines and product recalls. In addition, it simultaneously meets the compliance needs, as well as other departmental needs, such as quality and warranty cost management. The basic data used by the various departments are stored in one place for all users to access.
