Narrative analysis

Differentiation
- Autoinfo’s most distinct angle (based on public materials) is AU/NZ registration plate lookup tied to its proprietary vehicle index, and its specialization in the AU/NZ aftermarket context.
- TecDoc’s differentiation is global scale and standardization across many regions and brands, plus optional repair/maintenance modules.
Feature comparison (high level)
- Vehicle identification
  - Autoinfo: REGO lookup for AU/NZ, VIN decryption algorithms, vehicle index that the vendor states covers vehicles on-road in AU/NZ.
  - TecDoc: VIN filter and extensive vehicle linkages globally (vendor claims).
- Procurement/availability
  - Autoinfo: BuyerAssist operates as an inventory locator and agent connectivity tool where integrated.
  - PartsCheck (adjacent competitor): built explicitly for quote/order/credit communications between repairers and suppliers; public site highlights several thousand members and a workflow focus rather than fitment catalogue.
Pricing comparison
- Autoinfo: opaque/quote-based.
- TecDoc: partially transparent shop + trials/terms, but exact price can still depend on region, package, partner.
- Partbot: transparent published pricing and add-ons.
Market adoption signals
- Autoinfo publishes a "Some of our Customers" section (not captured in accessible crawl as a list) and claims hundreds of participating brands and notable search activity.
- BuiltWith indicates a small number of live websites using Autoinfo widgets/technology (useful as a directional footprint indicator, not a definitive market share metric).
