Apec Debuts Enhanced E-Catalogue

Apec launches a new E-Catalogue with VRM search for GB and Ireland, daily updates, flexible braking product views, side-by-side comparison, wish lists, and seamless F:Drive/NDS ordering integration—now live online.

Apec, a leading aftermarket supplier of braking and vehicle components, has launched a new E-Catalogue engineered for a faster, more intuitive user experience. Built around customer needs, the platform streamlines how workshops and distributors identify and source the correct components, while integrating seamlessly with existing ordering workflows.

Customer-Focused Design

The updated E-Catalogue prioritizes speed, usability, and accuracy. Apec’s interface is user-friendly and easier to navigate, helping users move from vehicle lookup to the right component with minimal friction. With daily updates, customers consistently access the most current applications and part numbers, reducing misorders and downtime.

Faster, Smarter Part Identification

A standout upgrade is VRM search for GB and Ireland, allowing users to pinpoint the correct part quickly and accurately. For braking products specifically, Apec offers flexible viewing modes: a grouped layout that surfaces all braking product types together, or a product-type view that spotlights the Apec Black, Red, and Blue ranges. Users can compare parts side by side to evaluate specifications efficiently.

Streamlined Workflow and Ordering

The platform supports wish lists so teams can save, manage, print, or download key part numbers for future use. Ordering is simplified through downloadable files that can be uploaded directly to the F:Drive ordering platform, with full NDS purchase order compatibility. In addition, enhanced print and download options give workshops and distributors added flexibility for quotes, job cards, and internal documentation.

Commitment to Digital Innovation

The launch reflects Apec’s ongoing investment in digital innovation and customer experience, delivering smarter solutions for the modern aftermarket. The new E-Catalogue is now live and available at apecautomotive.co.uk/catalogue/.
