Each part identification is particular to a specific vehicle and the way it was built.
The application is used globally by over 120,000 parts professionals each business day, in 29 languages. It has led the way with many firsts in its product category, such as: VIN-based parts interpretation, DMS interfacing, user ergonomics, information localization and multilingual operation.
