Together with AAC of Thailand,Solid Automotive of Malaysia,SB (Sumber Berkat) Group of Indonesia and CassTime Technology,a well-known e-commerce platform in China,TecAlliance has explored a strategic alliance for aftermarket supply chain digitalization. TecAlliance's TecDoc standard data will be used as the integration linkage for supply base and customer base from AAC,Solid Automotive and SB Group.

During the seminar,Mr. Matthias Moritz,Managing Director of TecAlliance Asia Pacific,introduced the footprint of TecAlliance in the Asia Pacificregion. Ms. Zhong Weijia gave a specific presentation to the audience about TecAlliance's digital Warranty & Returns system,while Mr. Marcus Koh,responsible for products & data,introduced an e-catalogue solution for the Southeast Asia market,using TecDoc Web Catalogue customized for AAC as an example to show to all participants.

AAC,Solid Automotive and SB then introduced their current supply base and customer network base.

CassTime shared its proven e-platform technology,which could be a good digitalization choice for SEA region.

Mr. Teerapot from AAC,who is responsible for vehicle product,data and catalogue,explained: "Currently,the main pain point is how to support customers to find the parts they want through different searching methods in a fast and accurate way. And this is exactly the strength of TecAlliance." General Manager of AAC Mr. Pornsak added: "We want to understand more about Warranty & Returns system. The system can not only further regularize the whole warranty process,but also significantly reduce the time cost for our customers."

Mr. Juan Delano from SB Group said excitedly: "In today's competitive market and pandemic situation,we have always been exploring better ways for parts distribution,hoping to find a proper digital and e-platform solution to transform our business,which should be an e-platform marketplace that is designed for professional aftermarket parts search,buy,and delivery services."
