Notes on Developing a Diagnostic Tool

*Market positioning:

Who are the target customers? Are they professional repair shops, 4S stores, or individual enthusiasts?

In which country is the target market located? Europe, North America, Middle East? Different regions have different preferences for vehicle models (Europe has more diesel vehicles, while North America has more American-made cars).

*Supplier Selection:

Factory vs. Trading Company: Prioritize cooperation with R&D-oriented factories. They are usually more professional, have stronger software update capabilities, and offer more favorable prices. This can be verified through on-site visits or video factory inspections.

R&D Capacity: Ask about the size of the other party's R&D team, how they collect global vehicle model data, and the update frequency. This can help assess their long-term survival and capabilities.

*Industry Reputation: Learn about the brand reputation through industry forums and exhibitions.

*Specify the price and minimum order quantity:

FOB price: Clearly indicate whether the quoted price is the FOB price. This is crucial for cost calculation.

*Software copyright: Ensure that the software used in the device is genuine or has legal copyright, to avoid encountering intellectual property issues
