When asked about TecDoc VIN Catalogue – Truck, proprietor, Dave Burgess enthused: “The biggest single benefit that the TecDoc Catalogue has brought my business, is significantly reducing the returns, which has naturally increased our overall efficiencies. “In addition, as TecDoc VIN Catalogue – Truck is an online system, it can naturally be incorporated into an existing website to provide a fully integrated e-commerce solution, which enhances the user experience and increases online ordering and paperless transactions, and further contributes to business efficiencies.”īased in Uxbridge, Greater London, DB Auto Consultancy is an early adopter of the solution. “We have determined which parts should be listed by analysing existing data to find the most popular searches and by basing its criteria on the vehicle identification number (VIN), TecDoc VIN Catalogue – Truck users can identify the exact vehicle for which the part is required without relying on a VM specific EPC, this not only saves time by not having to switch between catalogues, but makes the search method consistent.


“In order to solve this problem, TecAlliance, the organisation behind the renowned TecDoc Catalogue, which is widely recognised as Europe’s leading replacement parts identification solution, has developed the TecDoc VIN Catalogue – Truck, a commercial vehicle specific resource that simplifies and unifies the search process for fast moving items for the main seven brands,” explains Key Account Manager for UK and Ireland, Jason Meade.

Driving the digital aftermarket, Europe’s leading automotive data specialist develops a new standard in commercial vehicle replacement parts identification for wholesalers and fleet workshops.ĭespite the prevalence of vehicle manufacturer derived electronic parts catalogues (EPC), they generally rely on a variety of search methods to identify a replacement part, which for wholesalers and CV workshops servicing and repairing multi-brand fleets, makes the identification process time consuming, laborious and not cost-effective.
