The TEXKAT app; a product from the TOPMOTIVE Group for mobile use of the well-known Next TecCat spare parts catalog for iPhone. The TEXKAT app is based on the comprehensive TecDoc and DVSE data pool data with the original data from the parts manufacturers and spare parts information for cars. For each item, all relevant information such as technical features or product images is displayed in the app. You will also find the linked OE numbers for the items as well as the information in which vehicles these spare parts are installed. The application is suitable for use in workshops, commerce and industry. Users can quickly and specifically search for a vehicle part or a vehicle by entering a number and determine which vehicles the spare part fits into or which parts are required for the vehicle. The search is also possible using a scan function of the EAN code. Possible search criteria for quick part identification are any number, the article number, an OE number, the usage number or the comparison number.
