Among these services are Web Shop and Web Service, which give customers alternative routes to accessing parts data held in the TecDoc catalogue. The company will also be showcasing its screen size optimisation software for iPhone and Android devices.Īlongside the new developments TecDoc is also hoping to show existing customers a range of add-on services. UK visitors to the Frankfurt show will be able to see the launch of the new app, as well as sample some of TecDoc’s other mini-web applications. The app will be a full version of TecDoc’s online catalogue, optimised for the iPad device.

TecDoc will be launching its own application for the Apple iPad at Automechanika.
