Save costs in your business with Tips4y solutions
Product
The national economy is experiencing a concerning inflationary scenario, with a price variation of 9.4 % in July, above the Eurozone average and on an increasing trend compared to recent months, explained, among other factors, by the greater weight of costs associated with energy products.

This reality naturally affects several sectors of our business structure, particularly the aftermarket, due to the pressure on operating costs, on the cost of capital for companies with contracted credit and ultimately on business profitability.
In addition to the present moment, which requires immediate measures in current activity, there is uncertainty about the future.
The feeling of all aftermarket professionals is strongly conditioned by all these indicators and expectations, where there is an increased need to rethink the business and consider the best decisions towards the current economic context.
Aware of all this, Tips4y has been reinforcing the communication of its offer, providing the automotive aftermarket with solutions that very consistently help to control business costs in very specific areas:
Improving efficiency in the workshop | DataDrive
Use DataDrive to better plan your team of technicians by optimising the working hours of each professional and thus better managing the time available for more bookings. You also have several metrics that are very relevant to workshop management, such as the overall value of approved estimates or the workshop's productivity ratio in real time.
Reduce costs in parts logistics | TecDoc Catalogue
The problem of returns due to misidentification of parts is a transversal reality for aftermarket companies and represents a very significant cost in the margin. Did you know that using the TecDoc Catalogue allows for at least a 30% reduction in returns?
Use the TecDoc Catalogue integrated with the Plate Number Search service and ensure that parts are identified as accurately and quickly as possible, avoiding returns, precisely at a time when their cost and shortage have a huge impact on the sector.
But you can also dilute some of the costs specifically related to physical sales at the traditional shop counter by selling parts online through the B2C Online Shop, while at the same time expanding your market of potential customers, considering that the digitalisation of IAM is consensually seen as strategic for the future of the market.
Increase customer loyalty and reduce service costs | Technical Information (RMI)
A misdiagnosis always results in more expenses that can hardly be transferred to the end customer, as well as representing a loss of confidence with an impact on the customer's return.
To avoid these circumstances, make use of the Portal TecRMI which has numerous advantages over the competition, where you can access around 4 million repair instructions and almost 8 million manufacturers' technical data (OE) covering practically the total car parc.
We also highlight the OE Maintenance Plan based on the plate number and KMs, the intelligent calculation of combined repair times and the graphical search.
Help your customers to save money too | DataDrive
In a context of high inflation, your customers will have even more reasons to stay loyal to your business if you also help them to save money.
With DataDrive, you can offer your customers options based on your prices and the original prices, ensuring total transparency and higher conversion of their estimates.
There are several solutions that, in combination, can eliminate direct operating costs, which importance at this stage our economy, and in the light of the international context, is becoming too critical for the activity of workshops and the parts trade.
