OEC and GT Motive are working together to provide customers with greater access to competitive OE parts pricing support directly through the OEC Vision collision platform.

The new partnership will increase genuine OEM parts usage and reduce total loss vehicles and write-offs

The Vision digital sales channel is designed to connect manufacturers, repairers and insurers to promote total loss avoidance and increase genuine OEM part sales, and the partnership will help drive its work further.

“We are delighted to have GT Motive as a partner for our market-leading collision platform, Vision. GT Motive has an exciting product which is growing in the UK, and we are happy to be part of their journey,” said Damon Milne, international product director, OEC Trade & Collision. “This partnership gives OEC access to additional repair estimates for our clients, generated by the GT Motive platform, allowing us to increase genuine parts usage and save additional vehicles from being written off.”

OEC’s Vision collision platform uses in-depth market insights to automatically identify and work to save borderline total loss vehicles. It enables insurers to run Total Loss Avoidance schemes, minimising the vehicles going to salvage after incident while promoting OEM parts sales and usage.

The partnership marks the first time that GT Motive has worked with an OE parts ordering technology provider.

“We’re proud to partner with OEC to provide our users with access to pricing support on OE parts. Our customers can now benefit from competitive pricing to fit genuine which will provide a better-quality repair and increase productivity,” said David Vella, executive director of GT Motive. “We’re continuously making improvements to our modern estimating platform to ensure repairers can complete repair cost calculations quicker and more accurately.”
