Winter 2018 Truck and Track 27
TTC has been a leading supplier of Commercial Vehicle Parts
for over 40 years and its popular parts catalogue has been
a constant companion throughout the years. The current
publication now in its 19th Edition is soon to be replaced with
Edition 20, boasting new sections and many new updates and
additional parts.
But just as TTC has been ground breaking with its Truck & Trailer
Components catalogues, it has not stood still and has recently
developed what it believes is an industry first with its new and
innovative electronic Truck parts catalogue.
The result is nearly two years’ worth of work piecing together
Parts to Trucks in what can truly be described as the first of its kind
within the Commercial Vehicle sector. The numbers are staggering
as TTC has taken over 470,000 Trucks’ worth of data and applied
its complete Truck range to each vehicle. Like the traditional TTC
catalogue, the job is never ending as the team continually update
and add in new references as the TTC range expands, ensuring the
proposition meets the exact needs of today’s modern fleet.
The system known as CVRN has been in use now for nearly six
months and has quickly become a daily tool for customers to use
when identifying parts. With the answers only a few clicks away,
identifying parts has become far less time consuming and frees up
valuable time within the parts department.
So what are the benefits? Well, in a market which is changing fast,
knowledge is one of those critical ingredients which has become
harder to find. The complexity of today’s new vehicles, the speed
of change and the need to attract the next generation of parts
people, means that training and on the job experience inevitably
takes time. CVRN addresses this in that all you need is the Truck’s
registration number to enter into TTC’s online order system to view
the parts. Because the system is connected to TTC’s online ordering
system, users will instantly see live stock availability, price and any
other product attributes, so placing the order is only a few clicks.
Early trials with a number of customers soon showed the benefits
with Speed, Ease of Use and Accuracy a clear plus in today’s fast
paced environment where Truck downtime is an unwanted cost
with fleets.
So will the TTC Catalogue
continue?Well,it’snotfinished
just yet and with Edition 20
about to hit the streets, there
clearly is still a need for this
type of publication. With TTC’s
extensive range of Trailer
Components, it is fair to say
the business has both Trucks
and Trailers well and truly
covered for years to come.
