Searching the vehicle's plate number is becoming increasingly relevant in the workshop's management.

Due to the continuous advances in the technology incorporated in motor vehicles, it is becoming increasingly important to correctly search for and identify each vehicle in the workshop, given the significant increase in the level of complexity of each model.

Identifying a vehicle through the Plate Number Search is the gateway to several processes in the workshop: from booking to estimating, including technical repair or maintenance information, the importance of plate number search is increasing.

The challenge of increasing technological complexity

There is a transformation underway in the automobile concept that is quickly changing the mobility paradigm, mainly due to the deep impact that technology is having, not only on consumer habits, but also on the sophisticated production of the vehicles themselves, which have become real software-driven “devices”.

As an example, we have identified three areas that explain these developments:

1. Eletronic systems

Given the influence of software on the performance of each vehicle, sometimes a simple bug can lead to a need for repair. In order to avoid unnecessary costs, it is critical to check exactly what kind of electronic systems are in each vehicle model.

2. Engines

One of the aspects that set the engines of the past apart is the level of intelligence associated with running performance. Technology has revolutionized the way engines optimize their performance at any moment of driving, whether drivers are at high speed or stopped at a traffic light or in a queue.

3. Safety features

From airbags to anti-lock braking or automatic emergency braking at high speed, as well as traction control, parking sensors and collision warnings, there are many modern safety features in a single vehicle.

Access to data as a workshop management tool

According to a study by Deloitte, the cost of electronic technology per vehicle, as a percentage of its total cost, has risen considerably from 27% in 2010 to 40% in 2020, and is expected to reach 45% to 50% by 2030.

This trend justifies naming the automobile as the most complex gadget in the world today.

Dominated by the CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) concept, as software and data grow, the complexity of the automobile also increases.

To meet the needs of aftermarket professionals who have to deal with this level of complexity, Tips4y offers a range of data solutions, namely the plate number search to identify any vehicle in a reliable, agile way, adapted to different integration needs with third-party platforms, including the customer's own systems.

These solutions have been developed precisely to facilitate the most demanding informed decisions about the maintenance and repair of any model or type of vehicle, through a database of more than 8 million records.

Tips4y actively follows the automotive industry's dynamics in order to anticipate the best solutions and services that fit the most challenging scenarios, particularly in the aftermarket.
