What you get back

You receive comparable aftermarket references with manufacturer and part number for sourcing, assortment and customer advice.

A typical day-to-day use case

The requested original part is unavailable. The dealer displays comparable aftermarket references inside the order and can offer alternatives immediately.

The tangible business value

Information that would otherwise need to be searched, transferred and checked repeatedly is available consistently. This shortens processing time and reduces the risk of poor decisions.

  • Saves search, capture or waiting time because the task starts and finishes inside the familiar system.
  • Reduces transfer and matching errors because information is not retyped or reconciled across separate lists.
  • Improves the commercial use of existing data by making offers complete, discoverable and transparent sooner.
