SKF Aftermarket expands into Africa with TecDoc
In a strategic move to bolster the automotive aftermarket in Africa, SKF, a renowned manufacturer of automotive components, has unveiled plans for expansion with TecDoc, the leading global vehicle and replacement parts catalogue by TecAlliance.
TecDoc anchors the automotive aftermarket with its end-to-end solution for precise part identification. The platform simplifies spare part searches through a unified, user-friendly interface, serving as the ultimate hub for product selection. By presenting their products in TecDoc, businesses can seamlessly expand globally, reaping unmatched visibility and amplifying their sales in the aftermarket.
SKF, a trusted manufacturer of diverse components from wheel end to suspension parts, now adds to this landscape. In today's digital age, instant access to accurate data is imperative. SKF's move promises streamlined access to standardised parts data via TecDoc, improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency across Africa.
The decision to expand with TecDoc was an obvious choice for SKF. Heinrich Stoltz, SKF Sales Manager Automotive South Africa, commented, “In Europe, being a data supplier in TecDoc enables SKF to effectively manage and display all our part information for each chosen country and market. TecAlliance provides this data to all our customers who are already working with TecAlliance in a standardised format. Our customers utilise this parts information to promote and sell products through their e-commerce platforms, ERP to ERP systems, and digital channels. This approach has proven successful for us in Europe, which is why we decided to expand our data supplier contract to Africa, particularly considering the market's increasing digitisation."
At Automechanika Johannesburg, at booth 6B8, the TecAlliance team will show how their data and solutions support all players in the automotive aftermarket. More information about how TecDoc can take automotive parts businesses to a higher level is available at the TecAlliance website.
