Cataloguing
ADL's attention to detail and commitment to "Right First Time" accuracy make the Blue Print catalogue one of the most trusted and reliable in the industry. This means Blue Print distributors can supply the correct part quickly and efficiently, saving time and money and enhancing their reputation with their own customers.
- All listings researched from official OE information for exceptional accuracy
- Multiple choices and options are minimised
- Where there is the need to list an option, precise and specific cataloguing make it easy for the user to confidently make the right choice
- 'Vehicle led layout' shows all the products for the chosen vehicle in one list, maximising ease-of-use and 'up selling' opportunities
Blue Print gives the most extensive and up-to-date catalogue coverage for ADL's chosen vehicle sectors, plus the added benefit of the inclusion of 'platform shared' derivatives, enabling distributors to make their Blue Print stock investment work as hard as possible for them.
Blue Print's catalogue information is available in various formats to suit different customer requirements:
DVD
ADL was a very early adopter of electronic cataloguing, introducing a CD-ROM version of its catalogue ECTARS (Electronic Catalogue Technical And Reference System) in 1996. The current incarnation – now in DVD format - is called ECTARS Evolution; the 'evolution' came in the form of enhanced parts search and technical reference functions added in the mid-2000's.
TecDoc
An extensive range of Blue Print parts are listed in TecDoc and ADL is a 'Grade A Certified Data Supplier' to TecDoc. ADL is TecCom enabled.
