The Vehicle Identification Service enables fast and accurate lookup using a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM). Linking vehicles directly to standardised TecDoc data helps workshops, distributors, and digital platforms to quickly identify the correct parts.

For distributors, accurate vehicle identification is essential to ensure that the correct parts are selected quickly and efficiently. Customers expect fast and reliable search results, while distributors need to reduce identification errors, improve operational efficiency, and support a smooth ordering process. Manual vehicle searches and fragmented identification methods can lead to incorrect vehicle selection, increased returns, and unnecessary complexity.

Vehicle Identification Service is a unified solution that combines both VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and VRM (Vehicle Registration Mark) services so that distributors can identify vehicles accurately using either VIN or VRM while accessing harmonised TecDoc vehicle data.

With Vehicle Identification Service, distributors benefit from a streamlined identification process, improved accuracy, and seamless integration into existing catalogue and ordering environments.

Accurate vehicle identification is essential to support efficient vehicle servicing and correct spare parts selection. Customers expect fast and reliable service, while workshops need to avoid incorrect vehicle identification and reduce time spent on manual searches.

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique identification code assigned to a vehicle when it is manufactured. VRM (Vehicle Registration Mark) is a unique number assigned to a vehicle by the authorities of a particular country.

Vehicle Identification Service combines VIN and VRM services in one solution. Vehicle Identification Service enables workshops to identify vehicles using VIN or VRM and retrieve TecDoc KType/NType information and vehicle data.

Simply enter the number plate and instantly receive the corresponding TecDoc KType/NType and even more information.

• Precise vehicle identification: Quickly and reliably identify vehicles using VIN or VRM, minimising incorrect vehicle selection.

• Fewer errors and greater efficiency: Automated vehicle identification is more efficient because it reduces the need for manual searches.

• Flexible service access: Use the Vehicle Identification Service in the TecDoc Catalogue or seamlessly integrate it into your own platform via web service.

• Standardised and transparent data delivery: Receive harmonised, consistent responses from both VIN and VRM services.
