Vanaways Launches VanaSpec: A New Digital Platform Transforming the Way Businesses Find Their Perfect Van

The next generation commercial vehicle studio brings specification, comparison, configuration and AI-powered guidance into one seamless experience.

Vanaways is proud to announce the launch of VanaSpec, a major new extension to the Vanaways digital experience designed to transform the way customers research, compare and specify commercial vehicles.

Available now at VanaSpec, the new platform gives users access to an advanced commercial vehicle studio where they can browse complete van specifications, compare derivatives side-by-side, configure vehicles in real time and receive intelligent AI-powered support through VSearch, the integrated AI assistant.

Built to support everyone from first-time buyers to fleet professionals, VanaSpec simplifies what has traditionally been a fragmented and time-consuming experience by bringing every stage of van research into one intuitive platform.

A Smarter Way to Specify Commercial Vehicles

VanaSpec has been developed to help customers make faster, more informed decisions when selecting a van. Whether users know exactly what they are looking for or need guidance narrowing down the right vehicle, the platform adapts to suit every type of customer journey.

The platform allows users to:

  • Browse comprehensive van specifications across multiple models and derivatives
  • Compare different vans side-by-side within the same studio environment
  • Explore detailed technical data, dimensions, payloads, capacities and weight information
  • Configure vehicles with accurate option colours and available specifications
  • View vans in immersive 360-degree visualisation
  • Save and share configured vehicles via a unique URL link
  • Use VSearch, the AI assistant, to help identify the best van based on individual requirements

Side-by-Side Comparison in a Single Studio

One of the platform’s standout features is the ability to compare multiple van models and derivatives directly alongside one another in a single workspace.

Customers can instantly evaluate differences in:

  • Payload capacity
  • Vehicle dimensions
  • Technical specifications
  • Engine and drivetrain options
  • Interior and exterior configurations
  • Available options and finishes

This allows businesses and drivers to make clear, data-driven decisions without switching between multiple tabs, brochures or manufacturer websites.

Bringing Vehicle Configuration to Life

VanaSpec also introduces a highly visual specification experience designed to give customers greater confidence before making a decision.

Users can interact with a full 360-degree view of the exact van they are specifying while exploring real available option colours and configurations. This creates a far more realistic and engaging experience than traditional static vehicle brochures.

The platform combines technical precision with visual clarity, helping customers fully understand how a vehicle will look, perform and fit their operational needs.

 

 

AI-Powered Guidance for Every Customer

At the heart of VanaSpec is VSearch, an integrated AI assistant designed to help users filter and identify vans that best match their requirements.

Whether a customer is searching by payload, dimensions, seating, storage capacity, driving style or business use case, VSearch helps simplify the decision-making process and guide users toward suitable options.

This ensures the platform works equally well for customers who already know exactly what they want and for those who need expert guidance to find the right solution.

Expert Support When You Need It

While VSearch helps users quickly narrow down the right vehicle options, Vanaways also recognises that many customers still value speaking directly with a commercial vehicle specialist.

For customers who would prefer personal guidance, the platform includes a dedicated “Get In Touch” feature where users can leave their details and book a call with a member of the Vanaways team.

This combines the speed and convenience of AI-powered search with the reassurance of expert human support, ensuring every customer can choose the experience that suits them best.

Shareable Specifications for Faster Decision Making

Once a configuration has been created, users can generate a unique shareable URL link, making collaboration and approval easier than ever.

This feature is particularly valuable for fleet managers, procurement teams and businesses needing to share vehicle specifications internally before making a purchasing decision.

Transforming the Commercial Vehicle Buying Journey

The launch of VanaSpec represents a significant step forward in the evolution of digital commercial vehicle retail.

By combining vehicle specification, intelligent comparison tools, immersive visualisation and AI-powered support into one unified platform, Vanaways is redefining how businesses discover and configure their perfect van.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."
