Tow bar fittings, actively compliant
A standalone register for garages fitting tow bars and trailer electrics — structured D-value, type-approval and coding data, active compliance warnings, automatic re-torque follow-up, and a one-click customer certificate.
The problem
Tow bar and trailer-electrics fittings carry real regulatory weight — a type-approval number, a D-value rating, a socket standard and ECU coding — but most garages track it in free-text notes or a spreadsheet. That makes the compliance record unsearchable, impossible to audit, and blind to the one thing that matters: whether the recorded D-value actually meets what the customer's trailer requires.
The solution
Cerevantix Tow Bar & Trailer Electrics Fitting turns every job into a structured, auditable record with its own reference number and a Draft to Confirmed to Done workflow. The module actively checks the data as it is entered — warning when a D-value falls short, blocking confirmation while mandatory fields are missing — then keeps re-torque checks visible until they're done and produces a ready-to-hand customer certificate.
Everything a compliance-driven fitting record needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Structured fitting record
Capture bar type, brand, part number, type-approval number, D-value, required D-value, socket standard and ECU coding status as discrete, searchable fields — never buried in a note.
Active compliance validation
A live compliance indicator flags a fitting as Incomplete when a mandatory field is missing, or Warning when the recorded D-value is below the customer's stated towing requirement — before the job ships.
Required-field enforcement
Confirming a fitting checks the type-approval number, D-value, ECU coding status and bar type in one pass and blocks the move to Confirmed with a single, clear message until every gap is closed.
Re-torque due/overdue tracking
A dedicated re-torque state — Scheduled, Due Soon, Overdue or Done — recomputes automatically from the re-torque date so a bolt check can never quietly slip past its window.
Automatic follow-up activities
Confirming a fitting with a re-torque date schedules a To-Do activity for the mechanic, and a daily scheduled action keeps raising reminders for anything still due or overdue.
Customer handover certificate
Print a ready-to-give compliance certificate straight from the record — approval number, D-value, socket standard, coding status and re-torque date, formatted for the customer to keep.
Draft to Confirmed to Done workflow
A statusbar workflow with full chatter and tracked-field history gives every fitting a clear lifecycle and an audit trail of who changed what, and when.
Automatic reference numbering
Every fitting gets a unique TOW/YYYY/NNNNN reference the moment it's created, so jobs and certificates are traceable without any manual numbering.
Linked to the customer, not locked to a garage app
A Fittings smart button on the customer record shows every fitting for that customer at a glance — with no dependency on any repair or garage-management module to install or run.
How it works
Record the fitting
Log the customer, vehicle and tow-bar spec — bar type, brand, part number, approval number, D-value and socket standard — as the job happens.
Confirm with a compliance check
Confirming validates the mandatory fields and D-value in one pass, so an incomplete or under-rated fitting can't slip through unnoticed.
Track re-torque to done
An automatic activity keeps the mechanic on top of the re-torque date until it's marked complete — due, overdue, or done.
Hand the certificate over
Print the compliance certificate straight from the record and hand it to the customer as proof of a compliant fitting.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
No. It's built to be standalone — install it on its own and it works immediately alongside whatever repair or job-management tooling you already use, with no forced dependency or lock-in.
