Introduction

Since Automechanika 2012, our company has

undergone some significant changes, the most

noticeable one being the name change from Vividto HaynesPro. The companys revenue has shown

significant growth over the past two years as we have

continued to produce new and innovative products.

In February 2014, we moved to new, larger offi ces in Leus-

den, The Netherlands. The move was a direct result of the

successful growth strategy which the company initiated two

years ago. Our spacious new offi ces allow room for further

expansion of our project teams, with a corresponding in-

crease in the scope of our customer service.

In 2012, we announced our intention to increase staff num-

bers from 80 to a minimum of 100 within two years. By then,

HaynesPro Romania had already relocated to a larger offi cein Bucharest. In 2013, HaynesPro Italy relocated to new of-

fices in Moncalieri, near Turin.

We have achieved our goal and now have over 111 employees.

In spring 2014, we appointed Bart Raats as European

Business Development Manager. Bart was our 111th

employee and is responsible for developing projects and

sales beyond our traditional parts distributor and wholesale

business. He focuses specifically on

manufacturers of diagnostic equipment,

parts manufacturers in the aftermarket,

and roadside assistance organisations.

In July 2014, acknowledging the growing

importance of the European parts

purchasing organisations, we appointed

Mrs. Hasret Celik as Relationship Manager

- International Buying Groups. Hasret

has been Regional Sales Manager for

Scandinavia and the Benelux countries for

4 years. She will continue to be responsible

for these areas, in conjunction with her

new responsibilities.

Until now, Hasret has also been the Regional

Sales Manager for Eastern Europe. Therapid growth of the company in this region indicates a

need for a full-time locally-based regional manager. We plan

to appoint this manager by September 2014.

At Automechanika 2014, we will be announcing new

products and product enhancements. These range from

our new tablet-specific Touch interface, through improved

and highly flexible web services, to specific smartphone

applications. We now cover passenger cars, light commercial

vehicles (LCVs) and trucks, from a single database. We have

increased our overall car-park coverage and introduced new

subjects.

With our expanded teams and increased product flexibility,we are now optimally placed to respond to customer needs

for specific automotive information!

HaynesPro WorkshopData Touch

An essential workshop toolAt EquipAuto 2013 in Paris, HaynesPro introduced its

new Touch interface. Touch offers instant access to

the HaynesPro WorkshopData technical information

via a tablet.

Using a tablet, a mechanic logging on to HaynesPro

WorkshopData has immediate access to the same high-

quality technical data previously only available on a PC/

laptop. The difference is the Touch user interface, which is

specifically formatted and optimised for touchscreens and

tablet devices.

Last year, responding to feedback received, we further

optimised the Touch version and created a branded

version, similar to the current online version of HaynesPro

WorkshopData. Now all HaynesPro customers can provide

their end users with their own branded version of the Touch

interface.

Touch interface for WorkshopData - Truck Edition

At Automechanika 2014 we will introduce the new Touch

interface for Trucks. This features the same clear and intuitive

design that we previously introduced for our Car Edition.

This first release has the same functionality as the current

HaynesPro TruckData application. The next step will be the

option to save a specific truck or trailer configuration, and this

will replace the current My Trucks and My Trailers options.

All technical data will be filtered based on the selections made

to configure the truck or trailer. The offi cial Touch launch is

planned for the end of 2014. To learn more about the new

Touch - Trucks Edition, please visit our Automechanika

stand F32 in Hall 9.1.

HaynesPro Workshop Organiser

moduleHaynesPro Workshop Organiser is a simple yet

highly effective tool for generating work orders from

cost estimates in a few simple steps.

Besides work order management, Workshop Organiser also

includes a customer and vehicle database, an easy planning

tool and smart links to all the technical information related

to the job.

HaynesPro Workshop Organiser can

be linked to any parts catalogue or

DMS system, to include pricing and

stock information for related parts.

HaynesPro Workshop

Organiser - Much more than a

new interface

Following the introduction of

HaynesPro WorkshopData Touch,

we have continued to develop

a completely new version of

Workshop Organiser.

Our goal was tosimplify workflow by

completely integrating

Workshop Organiser

into WorkshopData, and to make it look and feel like one

application.

OrganiserXpress has already been integrated. It is the ideal

tool for creating a quick cost estimate, listing all the vehicle

information, work and parts required. The cost estimate can

be printed and personalised by adding customer information

manually. OrganiserXpress is free with every licence that

includes the Maintenance and/or Repair

Times module.

By including a Workshop Organiser

account in the licence, a workshop

can easily convert cost estimates

into work orders, then link them to a

customer and vehicle database. With

HaynesPro WorkshopData Touch,

a tablet is suffi cient for viewing the

planned work orders and all relevant

technical information. A direct link to a

parts catalogue can be provided. With

pertinent information instantly accessible

and constantly available,

workshop effi ciency canimprove significantly.

ORGANISER

Workshop ConnectOf course as a user you want to continue where you left

off, apart from device or location. That is why HaynesPro

developed Workshop Connect. All the information linked to

a users account is saved in the cloud, making it accessible

from any device. The stored information included recently

viewed cars, saved cost estimates, work orders, specific

vehicle configurations and user settings.

VESA starts where most multi-make

diagnostic tools stop!VESA provides instant access to an extensive

database of detailed information on electronics

systems and the CAN-Bus.

Most specialist tools can retrieve vehicle data quickly and

accurately. The user is subsequently presented with one or

more fault codes. Unfortunately, malfunctions cannot be

resolved solely on the basis of a fault code and description.

This is where our VESA system comes in. Starting from a fault

code, VESA generates type-specific diagnostic solutions

whereby the fault code defines the most logical diagnosticpath.

VESA specifies:

1. The pin numbers where readings should be taken

2. The colour of the wires

3. The expected values

4. A scope image (if applicable)

HaynesPro Telematics

A connected car is essential! While fleet ownersroutinely install telematics devices, workshops now

create loyalty schemes by installing devices in their

customers cars. As these devices alert the workshop

when fault codes are generated, service planning can

be optimised..

HaynesPros data provides all the information necessary for

telematics applications, including EOBD connector locations,

replacement part numbers, and fault code information. OEM

service schedules are also provided, as are links to parts,

lubricants, and repair times.

HaynesPro has enhanced WorkshopData specifically toimprove functionality for applications such as:.

1. Maintenance data

New feature:we now provide all service schedule

mileage and interval information in numeric rather

than text format.

New functionality: calculation of upcoming

maintenance, based on the vehicles age and mileage.

2. Vehicle identification

New feature:updated VIN decoder to accommodate

the latest manufacturer definitions.

New functionality:gives either VIN or country-specific

registration data (e.g., KBA, Vehicle Registration, Carte

Gris, Typschein). Vehicle identification is available on

any platform used to access WorkshopData.

3. VESA

New feature: previously a single fault code was linked

to the probable faulty component; multiple fault codes

are now linked

New functionality: you can diagnose problems before

the vehicle reaches the workshop. This will facilitate

effi cient resource planning and identify any parts

required.

Our flexible data delivery methods are the key to effi cient and

fast data exchange. We have used web services for many years

and are happy to assist you to create an effi cient workflow in

your workshop.

Whats in a name? WorkshopData Car Edition and

WorkshopData Truck Edition.We are committed to delivering technical data

products for passenger cars, light commercial vehicles

(LCVs) and trucks in a flexible, easily usable format.

To facilitate this, in 2013 we began to merge our

passenger car database (WorkshopData ATI) with

our database for light and heavy trucks (TruckData).

Early in 2014 we completed the merge to form a

single database. We are now ready to announce the

result: HaynesPro WorkshopData- Car Edition,

and HaynesPro WorkshopData - Truck Edition.The move to a single database has enhanced application

and database maintenance effi ciency; a clear advantage

for our parts catalogue and parts distribution partners. For

many years now, HaynesPro has been the undisputed leader

in the provision of well documented, easily implemented

web services for our products. Now that we have a single,

comprehensive database, our customers can use a single

set of web service requests to retrieve information about a

passenger car, or heavy trucks. This reduces the cost of data

integration, allowing flexible and effi cient implementation

of information for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and

trucks.

To underline this significant change, we have decided to

identify the product by the product name which is known

and trusted throughout the automotive aftermarket:

HaynesPro WorkshopData. To indicate particular content,

we are introducing specific editions of WorkshopData. Our

existing WorkshopData ATIand TruckDataapplications

will become:

WorkshopData - Car Edition; covering passenger

cars and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5

tonnes.

HaynesPro ProFIT

Since the introduction of ProFIT in 2012, we haveworked continually to increase the number of

topics covered, and 17 fitting-related topics are now

available.

In addition to fitting instructions, we can also combine

relevant data for a specific task or service, e.g. Tyre Pressure

Monitoring Systems. We can also supply the necessary data

for target groups such as roadside assistance organisations.

All the relevant lubricant data is also provided.

With ProFITs expanded scope, we confirm our commitmentto the goal of providing context-relevant

information in an easily accessible format.

ProFIT information can be

shown via a branded website,

or can be integrated via

web services for a third-

party solution. Contact

your account manager for

further information.
