Total L&C Updates Oiltime Partners B2B Service App to Improve Shop Operations

Total L&C Co. said it has updated the Oiltime Partners B2B service app, which targets auto repair shops, as it operates the smart vehicle management platform Oiltime. The update was designed to expand the existing platform's functions with the goal of improving operating efficiency and service convenience for partner repair shops.

The update focuses on expanding parts purchasing, customer reservation management, and vehicle information lookup functions, and it is structured so that major tasks can be handled on a single platform. To that end, a B2B-exclusive shopping mall has newly opened, improving convenience for partner shops to purchase the products and parts they need from the dedicated mall.

After the update to Oiltime Partners, the B2B platform for car centers and auto repair shops, partner companies can check and purchase the products needed for repairs from the dedicated shopping mall. They can also view customer repair reservation details and vehicle information in one place.

Total L&C Co. added a feature that allows users to process exchange reservations directly in the app after purchasing products. Through this, the company plans to streamline reservation management procedures and reduce the burden on repair shops in sourcing products and responding to customers.

It also plans to support more systematic store operations. In addition, it will prepare event and benefit programs for partner shops, and Oiltime plans to build lasting relationships with its partners.

Oiltime plans to link its B2B distribution services with customer management functions. Based on this, it also plans to support the digital transformation of repair shops.

Total L&C Co. operates the Oiltime app for general drivers. The Oiltime app lets users enter a vehicle number to check the appropriate engine oil specification information for their car model, and it also provides specification information for major consumables such as transmission fluid and brake fluid. Drivers can check and purchase vehicle-compatible products in the app, search for partner exchange locations near home or work, and make repair reservations as well. Through this, it provides an integrated vehicle management service that connects checking consumables information, purchasing products, and making exchange reservations.

Oiltime's main direction is to link its B2C service for general drivers with its B2B service for repair shops. Its goal is to improve convenience for consumers and partner companies. Rather than simply providing separate functions for drivers and repair shops, the service uses a structure that connects them with one another.

The functions provided for drivers are vehicle management information and reservation services. A Total L&C Co. official said Oiltime provides drivers with services to check, purchase, and make exchange reservations for vehicle consumables such as engine oil. The support functions for repair shops are product distribution and customer management. The official also explained that the Oiltime Partners app update provides partner car centers with a B2B-exclusive shopping mall and reservation management functions, and that the purpose of the update is to improve work efficiency and create a convenient distribution environment.

A Total L&C Co. official said the company plans to create a service environment that drivers and repair shops can conveniently use together in the future. The company also said it will continue to advance the functions of the smart vehicle management platform based on shared growth with its partners.

The Oiltime Partners app can be downloaded for free from Google Play and the Apple App Store, and it can also be used in conjunction with the website. Details about the service can be found on Oiltime's official website.
