Klipboard Introduces Klipboard Intelligence, Helping Businesses Make Smarter Commercial Decisions

August 2026 – Hungerford, UK: Klipboard, a leading provider of sector-specific business management solutions, has announced the launch of Klipboard Intelligence, its new portfolio of industry-specific intelligence solutions, designed to help customers make smarter, faster and more confident commercial decisions.

Bringing together anonymized operational data from thousands of companies, market insight, sector expertise and advanced analytical capabilities, Klipboard Intelligence will provide customers with practical intelligence that helps them respond more effectively to changing market conditions, identify new opportunities and strengthen commercial decision-making.

Unlike traditional reporting, which focuses on what has already happened, Klipboard Intelligence is designed to help businesses understand what is happening now and where to act next.

For example, it could help an automotive supplier identify changing demand for specific vehicle parts before it impacts stock planning, or help an independent garage understand how its pricing, workshop performance or customer retention compares with similar businesses in the local area.
 
Klipboard Intelligence is built on one of Klipboard's greatest strengths: the unique, industry-specific operational data generated through the day-to-day use of its software.

For nearly 50 years, Klipboard has supported businesses across automotive, distribution, rental and service industries. Today, more than 55,000 customers rely on Klipboard software to manage everyday operations including stock management, product searches, order processing, asset management and customer service.

This breadth of day-to-day operational activity creates one of the richest sources of industry-specific data available, enabling Klipboard to identify trends, demand patterns and commercial opportunities that individual businesses cannot easily see on their own.

Businesses have more data available to them than ever before, yet making the right commercial decisions has never been more challenging. Klipboard Intelligence represents our long-term investment in giving customers access to unique, sector-wide data that gives them practical, industry-specific insight to support better business decisions.

David Turner, Chief Marketing Officer at Klipboard

The first Klipboard Intelligence solution will launch within the automotive aftermarket, where suppliers face increasing pressure from changing vehicle technologies, evolving customer demand, supply chain uncertainty and ongoing margin pressure.

Built on operational data generated through AutoCat, Autopart and connected automotive systems, the first intelligence offering will help suppliers gain an up-to-date view of active aftermarket demand, supporting better decisions around product range, stock planning, pricing and commercial opportunity.

Over time, Klipboard Intelligence will expand across additional industries served by Klipboard, including distribution, equipment rental and service operations, delivering sector-specific intelligence designed around the operational challenges of each market.

By combining nearly 50 years of industry expertise with the unique operational data generated across its software ecosystem, Klipboard Intelligence transforms everyday operational activity into practical, industry-specific intelligence that helps organisations identify opportunities earlier, respond faster to change and plan with greater confidence.
