Allows B2B dealers to purchase genuine spare parts, body parts, tyres and battery and lubricant products

In line with its customer-centric approach and commitment to keeping the UAE driving towards a more sustainable future of mobility, Al-Futtaim Automotive has announced an all-new innovative digital platform that allows B2B dealers to purchase genuine spare parts, body parts, tyres and battery and lubricant products.

Additional features of the platform include simplified payment methods, individual business sales analysis insights and live delivery tracking as well as detailed product information and accompanying images to ensure easy distinguishing.
