We are now ready to launch TRICAT - our new spare parts catalogue/e-commerce solution - which we are not afraid to say sets new standards for user-friendliness, functionality and not least speed.
TRICAT (tricat.triscan.dk) has been developed based on our many years of experience in catalog/e-commerce solutions, but TRICAT has also been developed based on the knowledge and insight we have gained through the development of TRISYS. TRISYS is our car repair shop and customer management system – which includes integration to almost 20 catalogues – and which is currently used by car repair shop s in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany (www.trisys.dk).
Vehicle information from TecDoc or the Register of motor vehicles?
When you search via a vehicle's registration number, you can now switch between viewing TecDoc's and the Register of motor vehicles’ information about the vehicle. Of course, searches by vehicle registration number are only possible in countries where this information is available.
Search by brand and model in the advanced version
Search by make and model has been divided into a simple and advanced version. In the advanced version, the model overview is divided into categories, so that passenger cars and vans each have their own category. When a specific model is selected, the model variants are categorized by fuel – petrol, diesel or hybrid/electric.
Search by search box
In TRICAT you will also find a search bar at the top of the page. It can be used to search for Triscan references, OE numbers as well as crossings. It can also be used as an alternative to using the classic search tree when a vehicle is selected. For example, if you enter "fuel" – all parts where what is entered are included as part of the product description will be shown. In the search field, to a certain extent, it is automatically corrected for typos/spelling errors, and you do not need to enter complete search terms.
Product Comparison
With the comparison function in TRICAT, it is very easy to select and change which spare parts to compare. Among the selected spare parts, you can easily switch between displaying all the product information or just the elements in which they differ. You can easily delete or add the spare parts you want to compare - and last but not least, spare parts from the comparison overview can be transferred directly to the shopping cart.
Multi-select criteria-filter
With the multi-select criteria filter enabled, the criteria relationships are removed. Where selecting a criterion without using the multi-select filter excludes a lot of criteria, the multi-select filter ignores this connection. All parts where only one of the criteria is met will thus be shown in the search.
Possibility of displaying discontinued references
In TRICAT, only active items and sale items are shown when a specific vehicle is selected. But with a single click, you can also see discontinued references at any time.
Display of gross prices on selected spare parts
On each product line, you have the opportunity to view gross prices with a single click. TRICAT automatically goes back to showing net prices of product lines as soon as you change your search.
TRICAT – catalogue and access to useful information
TRICAT's homepage is divided into two. In the left part of the screen, access to the catalog is located. On the right-hand side, a selection of relevant information is displayed, including: News, promotions, product information, registration for our information service, new item numbers, forms, magazines and, not least, a guide to using the catalogue.
Catalogue integration and ordering via web service or API
If you are one of our customers who uses our web service, the transition from TRIWEB to TRICAT will not have any significance. Everything continues as before. If you want to integrate TRICAT into another solution, this can be done via our API for TRICAT.
TRICAT is also offered as a white label solution
If you as a wholesaler are facing the need to develop a new catalogue or update your existing one, you should consider whether TRICAT could be the solution. We offer TRICAT as a white label solution – i.e. just like with TRISYS, you can get the system with your own name, logo and in your own colors. The only prerequisite is that you have purchased access to TecDoc data.
Language
TRICAT is available in a Danish, English, French, Polish, Swedish and German version
Access – how to get started
TRICAT can be accessed via computer, tablet and smartphone. If you are already a customer of TRISCAN, you have at least one user profile created, which gives you access to our TRIWEB - and with it you can easily register as a TRICAT user. See guide here...
