TMD Friction introduce ‘Virtual Brake Sets,’ making it easy to find parts
New catalogue data in TecDoc as well as Textar and Pagid Brakebooks allows users to find all the necessary parts for a complete brake replacement in one easy search.
TMD Friction has made it easier than ever to find brake components for its aftermarket braking brands Textar and Pagid with the launch of its Virtual Brake Sets. Available in the product catalogue TecDoc as well as the Textar and Pagid Brakebooks, a Virtual Brake Set allows users to find all the parts necessary for a complete brake replacement in a single search. Instead of searching for individual components separately, the Virtual Brake Set provides a comprehensive reference, listing all essential parts including brake pads, discs, and – where applicable – wear indicators.
“At TMD Friction, we are always looking for ways to use modern technology in order to better serve our customers. The Virtual Brake Set is a digital solution that makes searching for the right part more convenient and less error-prone than before, benefitting distributors and garages alike. This new feature in our digital catalogue shows that TMD Friction is a technology-driven company, and is just one example of how we user modern solutions to improve the user experience. We’re happy to expand our catalogue data even further and deliver our customers even better service with the introduction of Virtual Brake Sets,” says Patrick Bassiere, Manager Global Data Excellence.
Between Textar and Pagid, TMD Friction now offers approximately 3,000 Virtual Brake Sets in total. This makes it the premium brake manufacturer with the biggest range, with a 90 per cent car parc coverage in Europe for Textar and 82 per cent for Pagid.
How it works
The Virtual Brake Set makes the search process more efficient: the users only need to search for the vehicle model, and the catalogue delivers every product needed for a complete brake replacement. The advantages are twofold: besides saving time, this streamlined search process is also less error-prone as it reduces the risk of ordering the incorrect parts.
The Virtual Brake Set is a catalogue reference, meaning that while the complete set exists in the catalogue, individual parts must still be ordered separately. Since the brake sets are virtual, customers do not need to create an additional article number in their system or keep an additional article in their inventory.
