Truckissimo, the electronic catalogue dedicated to HGVs from Autodistribution, the French and European leader in the independent distribution of car and HGV spare parts, presents its new functionalities. A portal enhanced with new tools to provide a global response to HGV professionals' needs.
Truckissimo, a comprehensive, intuitive portal
Truckissimo allows repairers to maintain, repair and manage multi-brand fleets quickly and easily using a tailored interface. With an extensive multi-brand range including numerous equipment manufacturers, the tool allows the vehicle to be selected via the number plate. Entering this number gives the complete and precise identification of the vehicle, and the risk of errors is reduced by a real-time connection to the central registration file.
Featuring the latest technologies, Truckissimo 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 working directly on the vehicle. The comparative approach provides detailed views of the assemblies and the various technical characteristics of the corresponding parts.
Continually updated by a dedicated team, the Truckissimo online catalogue offers nearly 14,000 industrial vehicles from the market's seven major manufacturers, covering over 90% of requirements. Brakes, filtration, lighting, clutch or even electrics, steering, wipers and suspension... In all, no fewer than 413 parts families are presented in the Truckissimo catalogue to cover the main components on which HGV workshops operate.
The comparative approach provides detailed views of the assemblies and the various technical characteristics of the corresponding parts.
A genuine management tool dedicated to HGV maintenance, Truckissimo has added new functions to serve customers to the full. The latter are now able to access three simple and efficient additional tools: costing for services, fixed rate deals, HGV diagnostics and a tool for fleet reports and monitoring.
The Autodistribution Group has confirmed its commitment to providing its garage customers with a practical and efficient solution bringing significant time savings and offering precise costing of services through the use of time formulas or fixed rate deals. Thus, each part for each vehicle is linked to a time formula, allowing estimates to be created for parts and labour.
Truckissimo's interface, which incorporates the TEXA diagnostic tool, allows precise operations to be carried out on all types of vehicle, in particular recent models, by providing access to technical information and repair manuals. Featuring equipment from a wide range of brands and equipment manufacturers, the electronic repair and maintenance catalogue also allows the user to check parts availability in real time.
Truckissimo provides online fleet reporting and monitoring for improved performance. Registration inventory for each customer, monitoring sheets, technical specifications per vehicle, various key data to optimise repair and maintenance services for industrial vehicles. The tool also alerts customers regarding service intervals and ongoing checks.
The new tools underline the Autodistribution Group's commitment to anticipating customers' needs by providing them with a full range of tools to help them carry out their day-to-day operations.
A constantly developing portal in tune with professional demands
Launched in 1999, the Truckissimo tool is the leading HGV maintenance and repair portal. With 60,000 brand references and 380,000 equipment manufacturer references, the catalogue offers a complete, constantly updated range providing an effective response to professional demands. This makes it the most powerful technical information source on the market.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. What we want to offer them is not simply a search tool, but rather a parts list specific to their own vehicles. The aim is to provide multi-brand customers with the information they need to repair HGVs, via a solution that meets the same quality criteria as the best single-brand solutions already on the market. Much more than just an interface, Truckissimo aims to assist repairers in their day-to-day operations. "
