Case study
Southeast Asia Repair Chain: Insulator Hood Program
A body shop group standardising hood insulation replacement on Japanese sedans
Challenge
Insulator hoods for older Camry, Corolla and LX models were hard to source consistently — dealers quoted long lead times at retail prices.
Our solution
Our Japanese-car insulator hood program covers TY and LX applications from one production line. The chain ordered a full-range pallet assortment with carton labels matched to their internal codes.
Result
One purchase order now covers a repair line that previously needed five suppliers.

Questions about this project
How long did this project take to set up?
List matching and quotation ran inside a week; the first container shipped on the next available sailing after order confirmation and production scheduling.
Could a smaller buyer run the same programme?
Yes, at LCL scale. The mechanics — line-matching against OEM numbers, carton labelling by your codes — do not change with order size.
What made the difference in this case?
Ordering against published numbers instead of part names. Everything else in the project followed from that one change.
