TecAlliance at Automechanika Frankfurt 2024: A Comprehensive Recap

Automechanika Frankfurt 2024 was a pivotal event for TecAlliance, reinforcing our leadership in the automotive aftermarket and strengthening our connections with industry professionals and partners. Across multiple days, our team engaged with visitors and customers, offering insights, presentations, and interactive sessions that showcased our latest innovations. Here’s an overview of what we shared and accomplished during this remarkable event.

TecDoc: Driving Data Excellence

At the core of our offering was TecDoc, a trusted global standard for automotive parts data. During the event, we hosted multiple presentations highlighting the importance of comprehensive and accurate vehicle and parts data for suppliers, distributors, and workshops. Our TecDoc ONE sessions provided a detailed look at how TecDoc’s latest solutions are transforming the way our customers handle data. Additionally, TecDoc OE and TecDoc PMA presentations emphasized the evolution of our platform in response to the industry’s growing need for precision and efficiency.

The TecDoc Breakfast Sessions, a special addition to our event, allowed us to present the latest status of our new TecDoc ecosystem, engage in deeper conversations with our customers and answer their questions directly.

TecCom: Streamlining Order and Returns Management

Our TecCom platform received significant attention throughout Automechanika. Several sessions were dedicated to explaining how TecCom enhances communication and processes between parts manufacturers, wholesalers, and buyers. The presentations on TecCom Returns showcased our advanced solutions for managing product returns, which continue to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction. With a focus on simplifying the supply chain, TecCom is driving significant improvements in both operational speed and accuracy.

TecRMI: Empowering Workshops with Repair and Maintenance Data

TecRMI, our Repair and Maintenance Information service, was another key focus at the event. Workshops and technicians rely heavily on precise, up-to-date repair instructions and data to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced environment. We dedicated multiple sessions to demonstrating the practical applications of TecRMI’s capabilities, from Direct Acceptance procedures to Service Book updates, helping workshops streamline their operations and deliver high-quality services to customers.

The TecRMI Workshop Day on Saturday was another major highlight of our participation in Automechanika. Packed with presentations and interactive discussions, the day offered deep dives into our latest products, including the TecRMI Service Book and the new Direct Acceptance Tool. Attendees responded enthusiastically, with many expressing interest in how our solutions can improve workshop efficiency. We also had the honor of presenting at the Schaeffler REPXPERT conference, where our Sales Manager, Sebastian Ley, spoke on the future of repair and maintenance requirements and how our RMI data is supporting workshops through these evolving needs.
