Efficient organisation and searching

  • Products can be found by model classification and filtering by aspects such as vehicle model and product groups, attributes, catalogues, suppliers as well as an advanced search and the model tree
  • Information about products can be easily reviewed and adjusted as needed using automated validation rules, e.g. on the level of individual attributes

  • Compatibilities and vehicle classifications can be managed easily and restrictions of use can be defined rapidly

Typical business processes in the automotive industry

  • Adding new car models: Take over all compatible products incl. restrictions from predecessor car model; delete exceptions for compatibilities that are no longer available or adjust at the level of the restrictions

  • Generation of market overviews (crosses, references to products and competitors, prices)
  • Gap analysis: Based on fleet data, individual range gaps and needs are identified (do competitors support new OEM numbers? Do competitors support new models? Delta checks: What has been added by competitors?)

Feed and export management

  • Selected products can be provided with chosen detailed data in a channel-specific format using the fastest route
  • Automated release of product information to online shops, marketplaces or industry-specific platforms such as TecDoc
  • Administrators can easily and independently make configurations for imports and exports within the system

Converting and mapping for attributes and classifications

  • Product can be automatically assigned to classifications, attributes or ISO data for the specific output channel
