Helloparts
When your car goes into a workshop after an accident, three parties have to agree before anything gets fixed. The insurer decides on the claim and where it goes. The workshop needs the right part, fast, at a price that works. The distributor needs to know what's in stock and what to charge. For decades that meant many phone calls, letters, emails, faxes, and a lot of waiting. helloparts replaced all this. Insurers steer claims through it's platform. Workshops order parts with one click. Distributors can run their inventory and pricing on it. AI makes the whole process even faster. Matching, ordering and routing that took days now happens while the car is still on the ramp. Today helloparts is involved in the majority of automotive aftermarket orders in Germany. Nobody outside the industry knows the name, because it never appears on the invoice. That is what a Hidden Champion looks like. It was started by Nico, one of GoGroup's founding partners, together with Stephan Otto, who had spent 25 years in the automotive sector prior to starting helloparts. Stephan knew which phone calls needed to stop happening. Nico knew how to build the thing that would stop them.

When a car comes into a garage - after an accident, for example - various processes are triggered that are predominantly paper and legacy IT-based and have fallen out of time. In the interaction between the workshop, car parts dealer and any insurance company involved, there are delays, information asymmetries and ultimately cost factors that helloparts solves with a modern digital platform.
helloparts is integrated into the industry-leading Dealer Management Systems (DMS) in a variety of ways and always guarantees a simple user experience that eliminates the need for cumbersome process adjustments.
The innovative PartsChecker technology automatically checks whether an identified spare part actually fits the vehicle in question. This means that the majority of orders from suppliers can be processed digitally and automatically. The real-time query of price and availability enables better planning of workshop capacity utilization.
Thanks to the bidirectional integration with the leading suppliers, the workshop knows immediately when the required parts will arrive, which significantly improves repair and cost planning. At the same time, the dashboard always provides the workshop with the relevant key figures - transparently and comprehensibly.
