Manufacturer
Essentially the manufacturer is similar to any other trade distributor of parts and will benefit from all features listed in our distribution section.
- In addition we offer various advantages, we have a specialist warranty claims system linked directly to a vehicle records system which offers complete tracking and administration. Stock records, barcoded labelling through the printing of government documentation (V55) to invoicing and hopefully not too many warranty claims! We cope with multiple discount rates by customer and product type and can invoice in multiple currencies.
