Features common to our cutting-edge EPCs include:
Complete parts catalogs for brands served
Part numbers and descriptions with supersession.
Technical illustrations with hotspot callouts.
Pricing information.
VIN decode
Breakdown of model, manufacturing, and options information for specific equipment, product, or vehicle identification numbers.
VIN filtering
Parts level filtering excludes parts that don't apply to the specific equipment, product, or vehicle identified.
Quick lists
Build a list of parts for one vehicle. The Snap-on EPC automatically updates that part list with the correct numbers for any other vehicle selected with the same Make. For example, a parts counterperson saves a list of parts for a brake replacement on a Cadillac. When they select a Hummer by VIN, the list refreshes to display the right parts for the new vehicle.
Part search functionality using number, name, description, or key words
Robust search functionality makes it easy to find the part you are looking for, even with limited information.
Deployment flexibility
Our unified EPC architecture allows you to deploy the same robust, high speed application over the Web, on a local area network, or with standalone hardware installations. No need to adjust functionality or maintain multiple products in order to deliver solutions in your dealership's environment.
Automatic online data updates
Your data is updated frequently and automatically, even with locally installed applications.
Business system (DMS) integration
Our EPCs integrate with a myriad of dealer management systems, OEM business systems, and other third-party systems to streamline workflows and reduce process errors.
Related parts
The Snap-on EPC identifies related or associated parts that are commonly used during a repair. For example, when selecting a water pump the user also sees the related bolts, nuts, hoses, and belts, regardless of where those parts may be located across the traditional catalog structure.
Speed and reliability
Quick response times and rock-solid reliability are the quality hallmarks of a Snap-on EPC.
Connectivity tools
Integrated e-mail features let dealerships send needed data and quotes to their customers.
Instant feedback features let parts catalog users identify errors and suggest corrections directly to the parts technical publishing teams, improving data accuracy.
