Save the costs of your business with Tips4y's solutions

The national economy is experiencing a worrying inflationary scenario, with the variation in reference prices reaching 9.4% in July, above the Eurozone average and on an upward trend compared to recent months, explained among other factors by the greater weight of costs associated with energy products.

This reality naturally affects the various sectors of our business fabric and very particularly the aftermarket, due to the pressure on operational costs, the very cost of capital on companies with contracted credit, and ultimately on business profitability.
Beyond the present moment, which requires immediate measures in current activity, uncertainty arises regarding the future.
The feeling of all professionals in the aftermarket is strongly conditioned by all these indicators and expectations, where there is an increased need to rethink the business and consider the best decisions in light of the current economic context.
Aware of all this, Tips4y has been strengthening the communication of its offer, through which the aftermarket automotive sector has at its disposal solutions that help very consistently to counteract business costs in very specific areas:
Improve efficiency in the workshop | DataDrive
Use DataDrive to make the best planning of your team of technicians in workshop management through the optimization of each professional's useful hours and thereby manage the available time for more scheduling. It also has several very relevant indicators for workshop management such as the overall value of approved budgets or the productivity ratio of your workshop in real time.
Reduce costs in parts logistics | TecDoc Catalogue
The problem of returns due to incorrect part identification is a reality across companies in the aftermarket and represents a very penalizing cost on the margin. Did you know that using the TecDoc Catalog allows for at least a 30% reduction in returns?
Use the TecDoc Catalog integrated with the Plate Number Search service Plate Number Search and ensure part identification with maximum accuracy and speed, avoiding returns, precisely at a time when their cost and scarcity have a huge impact on the sector.
But it can still dilute some costs specifically related to physical sales at the traditional store counter by selling parts online through the Auto Parts Webshop, simultaneously expanding its market of potential customers, considering that the digitalization of the IAM is consensually pointed out as strategic for the future of the sector.
Loyalty customers and reduce costs in interventions | Technical Information (RMI)
A wrong diagnosis always results in more expenses that can hardly be passed on to the end customer, besides representing a loss of trust that impacts customer return.
To avoid these circumstances make use of the Portal TecRMI with numerous differentiating advantages compared to the competition, where you can access around 4 million repair instructions and close to 8 million technical data from manufacturers (OE) covering almost the entirety of the car fleet.
We also highlight the OE Maintenance Plan based on the Plate Number Search and indicated KMs, the intelligent calculation of combined repair times, and the graphic search.
Help your customers save money | 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 save.
Through DataDrive it is possible to have options to offer your customer based on your prices and the original prices, ensuring total transparency and a higher conversion of your quotes.
There are several solutions that, together, can eliminate direct costs in the operation, whose importance at this stage of the national economy, and in light of the international context, becomes too critical for the activity of Workshops and Networks and the trade of parts.
