The Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA) has integrated the CAPA Tracker with the CAPA mobile app, according to a press release.
The integration allows users to enter part information into the CAPA Tracker through the CAPA app without having to use a computer and enter the information into the CAPA website.
Two options are available for inputting part information: the first is to type in the CAPA Seal number, and the second is to scan a part’s CAPA Quality Seal with the device’s camera, allowing it to identify the part and automatically generate the information.
Users may also add a repair order number to the CAPA Tracker database using their unique “Shop Code” in order to keep track of which vehicle a part was used to repair.
Additionally, if an issue for any part is found through CAPA’s post-Certification monitoring processes, the CAPA Tracker is able to identify all uses of the part and notify repairers that have used them, allowing them to notify their own customers and take any other needed action.
The new CAPA app is now available to be installed on Apple’s App Store and the Google Play store.
