TECDOC - MORE THAN ACCURATE PARTS IDENTIFICATION

Multiple Service Options For TecDoc Users Europe’s leading parts information data provider TecDoc, continues to add more quality brands to its electronic parts catalogue and Standard Motor Products Europe Ltd (SMPE) is among its many supporters. Product development manager, Gary Logan explains why SMPE has chosen TecDoc: “The CATALOG electronic parts catalogue is the standard parts identification system in the Global market. Therefore, to be taken seriously in the aftermarket, suppliers have to have their brands available on TecDoc. “There is a very high perceived value to the quality of the data held on the system and to have our brands on the system brings added credibility to every market in which we trade.” There is however, very much more to TecDoc than CATALOG and it is through the other added value packages that manufacturers such as SMPE are particularly benefiting. TecDoc’s Shaun Greasley says: “TecDoc manages and maintains a complex and detailed data resource and manufacturers like SMPE have the opportunity to ‘cherry-pick’ from a menu of package options. This provides the industry with a very cost-effective opportunity to access the package that most suits the parts data management objective of the business.” Gary Logan picks up this point: “We have just taken a licence to access the OE Pricing option, which is an excellent tool to ensure that we are pricing our products competitively in the marketplace. “We initially used the data to set the correct price for our new part introductions, but we have subsequently applied the information across the product range. Since doing so our ‘intelligent’ pricing policy has reduced price related queries markedly.” OE Pricing is just one of a number of research options available to parts manufacturers and suppliers.
