At Autopromotec 2022, held at BolognaFiere from 25 to 28 May, WDB arrived with a novelty that was not one more product but the opposite: Axitecnica, the portal that brings together, behind a single login, every service the company provides to the workshop.
One portal instead of nine separate tools
The problem Axitecnica solves is really only visible from inside a workshop.
A workshop using the technical database, the body repair procedures, the automatic transmission data, technical support and the training courses often finds itself managing different credentials, interfaces and subscriptions.
Each tool works. The whole does not.
Axitecnica brings these services together behind a single login: vehicle technical database, automatic transmission database, technical information requests, body repair database, technical support for workshops, manuals and monographs, training courses, estimating software and workshop management software.
A portal that wears the customer's colours
Axitecnica was built to be customisable. Logos and colours can be the customer's own, while services are configured according to the needs of their network.
For a distributor or a network, it means having a portal with their own brand. The workshops in the network log into an environment they recognise as part of the supplier they trust, while whoever runs the platform decides which services to include in their offering.
It is the same approach that guides our work: developing data and software able to adapt to how the people who use and distribute them work, instead of asking the customer to adapt to a standard product.
Four days at the stand
Autopromotec is the sector's reference event in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. Four days in which distributors, parts retailers and workshop networks come by the stand, try the software at the desks and describe how they work: for a company that sells through distribution, it is the moment when a daily relationship made of phone calls and emails becomes a conversation in person.
Since that edition Axitecnica has become the portal from which a workshop reaches every service in the group, and the foundation on which Semantica Academy, Sema Repair and Evergest were added in the years that followed.
