TecDoc UK & Ireland, under the direction of commercial director Shaun Greasley, has announced the start of a new business collaboration with DVSE/TOPMOTIVE. The move aims to make the partnership the dominant player in the collection and provision of replacement parts data and electronic parts catalogues across UK and Irish markets.

Although the initial purpose of DVSE, more commonly known as TOPMOTIVE, was to be the service provider for TecDoc, it later went in a different direction and used TecDoc parts data to provide the content for its own electronic parts catalogue for wholesalers. In the future both parties will work together to strengthen the presence of the TecDoc brand by cooperating under the TecDoc umbrella.

Shaun Greasley comments, “The agreement is a real win-win situation for both existing and future customers of the two brands because it provides them with a continuous supply of content, which is crucial for accurate parts identification and its delivery. The front end portals, which currently provide the access to the data, will retain their existing style, format and function, as well as the special options that cater for the individual requirements of wholesalers and garages.”

Krunoslav Bagaric, Managing Director of DVSE adds, “Due to the quality of the parts data TecDoc has developed, with the assistance of DVSE in those early years, TecDoc data and its K-type classification formula has become the driving force behind the independent aftermarket throughout Europe. Therefore the TecDoc story is a great success for the market and we are happy that we have also played our part in its evolution.”

Shaun says that by bringing these two systems under the TecDoc umbrella, the organisations will now be able to work together for the mutual benefit of users by concentrating  efforts on developing the delivery of the content. He comments, “This will allow users to liberate more of the information in order to improve their business efficiencies and ultimately identify and supply the right part, first time and as quickly as possible.”
