The international TecDoc community came together to discuss what's next in the digital aftermarket. 500 representatives of leading parts manufacturers from around the world followed the invitation to participate in the virtual Global Data Supplier Meeting from 9 to 11 November 2021. On the agenda: the latest trends in data management, innovative data solutions enabling parts manufacturers to position their products for success, and insights into global markets.

 “The market is changing rapidly and we have seen huge challenges across the industry. But we are also experiencing the chances and possibilities that lie in digitisation and high-quality product management”, explains Jürgen Mehlis, Executive Vice President Data Manager Products. “The Global Data Supplier Meeting was an excellent opportunity to bring automotive leaders together to discuss and explore new ways to accelerate the digital transformation.”

During the three-day event, 24 speakers from TecAlliance, representing Europe, Asia-Pacific, India, Russia and the Americas, gave insights into global markets and showed how TecAlliance's international presence supports parts manufacturers in their globalization strategies.

The participants learned more about the transformation of TecDoc that will help parts manufacturers to do their daily work more efficiently, digitally, and with the highest quality. One important element of the meeting was the live demonstration of the brand-new global product management system 1ONE. Demos of the new functionalities of the TecDoc Catalogue showed how they provide data suppliers with more time and energy for higher-value work, meeting the needs of their customers.

All virtual attendees had a chance to participate in virtual discussions and share their views on the new solutions presented by the TecDoc team. Questions were answered directly in the lively Q&A sessions.

“The meeting was an outstanding occasion to unite the aftermarket community, to share ideas and have interesting discussions. We would like to continue this dialog and welcome the data suppliers as members of the future TecDoc Expert Community. For this purpose, we will set up an appropriate platform for digital exchange in the near future”, says Mehlis.
