• Grouped by System:
  • Admin workflow: The master admin creates accounts for 5 technicians. For each, they assign specific brand access (e.g., “Mercedes only” or “Mercedes + smart”), set maximum monthly lookups to control costs, and enable “OEM vs. Aftermarket” comparison toggle—a new feature in the admin panel.
  • Unified VIN Decoding: A single search field now accepts both Mercedes-Benz (WDB, WDD, W1K, etc.) and smart (WME, WMW) VIN prefixes without manual brand switching.
  • Model Overlap Clarity: For models like the smart Forfour (which shares platforms with the Renault Twingo), the new admin layer provides flags indicating “cross-manufacturer” parts, preventing ordering errors.
  • Electric Drive Components (EQ & smart EQ): The new EPC includes high-voltage battery module breakdowns, thermal management systems, and electric motor internals—areas where older EPC versions were notoriously vague.
