At r2c, we know that in today’s commercial vehicle workshops, time is everything. That’s why we’ve partnered with Vapta Systems and HGV Direct to launch a new digital integration that’s set to transform how parts are sourced, scanned, and slotted into job sheets.
The Power of Automation Meets the Speed of Barcode Scanning
Thanks to our Job Sheet API, workshops can now experience seamless integration with HGV Direct’s Vapta scanner technology. Every time a barcode is scanned in the workshop, the part is can be instantly recorded onto the relevant job sheet – no manual entry, no delay.
Better still, if a part isn’t already in stock, technicians can order it directly from the HGV Direct website. Within moments, live parts baskets – complete with quantity, pricing and stock location – are created and pushed directly into job records within the r2c platform.
From Scanner to Service – in Record Time
These digital baskets are sent straight to HGV Direct’s regional parts centres, sorted, and delivered to the technician – often in less than two hours. The parts data is automatically added to the relevant job sheet, cutting down admin, reducing errors, and tightening compliance.
“This integration can transform how workshops handle parts and procurement,” said Ash Connell, Commercial Director at r2c. “It connects the dots between the workshop floor and the supply chain in a way that’s fast, reliable and scalable.”
Workshops That Work Smarter
With real-time data entry, there’s no more chasing missing parts or retrofitting job sheets. Compliance becomes automatic, with mandatory fields capturing everything needed for cost analysis, audit trails, and safety-critical records. Whether you’re a national fleet operator or an independent garage, this solution fits your setup – including imprest stock, van stock and traditional stores.
“This leapfrogs traditional systems,” added Dale Terry, MD at HGV Direct. “It means HGV Direct customers can order parts faster and more easily than ever before.”
Leading the Way in Workshop Innovation
Vapta’s technology is already trusted across commercial fleets, dealerships, and parts suppliers. This latest innovation reinforces its status as a market leader in stock control and workshop automation.
“This is about giving workshops control and confidence,” said Zak Perry, Vapta’s Managing Director. “From barcode to job sheet, everything is now connected.”
