October 2009
Truckissimo, the electronic catalogue dedicated to HGVs under the Autodistribution name, the French and European leader in independent distribution of car and HGV spare parts, is being revamped. More practical, more intuitive and ever more complete, the very latest version is fully suited to an activity in which the interface between people and the application is crucial.
Truckissimo2, just a number is enough!
Making finding parts as simple as possible and providing natural yet intuitive ergonomics were the challenges for Truckissimo2. To this end, the first small revolution was: vehicle selection via the number plate. Simply by entering the number you can obtain the complete and accurate identification of the vehicle with no risk of error. Connected in real time the central registrations file, Truckissimo2 is, at present, the only multi-make tool to offer this functionality.
Highly realistic images
Featuring the latest technologies, Truckissimo2 gives a full scale representation of the parts, with 3D colour exploded views, which provide a virtual reproduction of the repairer's procedure in the workshop, as though it was directly connected to the vehicle. Finding parts is also facilitated, with only a few clicks required for the images to be brought up and for you to obtain the desired answer. This simple and intuitive navigation can also be displayed on a touch-screen tailored to the environment of distributors using Truckissimo2 in workshops or at store counters.
The Truckissimo2 catalogue, over 100,000 references!
Updated in real time, the Truckissimo2 on-line catalogue offers nearly 14,000 industrial vehicles from the market's seven major manufacturers, with a coverage of over 85% of requirements. Brakes, filtration, lighting, clutch or even electrics, steering, wipers and suspension... In all, no less than 413 parts families are presented in the Truckissimo2 catalogue to cover the main parts on which HGV workshops operate.
Continuous development to improve customer satisfaction
Initiated in 1999, the success story of the electronic catalogue with the Autodistribution name dedicated to HGVs is continuing. According to Luc Azilinon, Director of internet and e-commerce activities for the Autodistribution Group: "the long-term ambition is to create a made-to-measure version for each customer, whether self-employed with a single vehicle, or an international transporter with a fleet. We no longer wish to offer them a search tool, but rather a parts list specific to their vehicles." Each customer will have access to personalised functions with the maintenance log, and will have a genuine management tool dedicated to HGV servicing. "This next step confirms our desire to no longer be content with receiving customers requesting help, but to go beyond their requirements." »
