Core offering

Norsk Bildelkatalog operates a web-based parts catalog and technical data platform for the Norwegian automotive aftermarket. It provides complete vehicle identification, parts lookup, pricing, stock availability, and electronic ordering sourced directly from vehicle parts manufacturers, and integrates with Norwegian workshop management systems. The service is offered as a subscription-based browser application for importers, dealers, wholesalers, workshops, and parts retailers across Norway.

Product overview

Norsk Bildelkatalog (NBK) operates as a unified platform consisting of two main offerings: the core NBK parts catalog providing vehicle parts lookup, pricing, and availability for the Norwegian automotive market, and NB Biltek offering comprehensive automotive technical specifications and data. The platform serves importeurs, dealers/wholesalers, workshops, and retailers in the vehicle parts and automotive-related products segment.

Direct peers

• Haynes Pro: Provides automotive technical data, repair times, and parts information to workshops across Europe. Directly comparable to NB Biltek's technical data offering and serves the same workshop segment with similar subscription-based delivery.
• Identifix: Provider of vehicle diagnostic and repair information for workshops in North America and parts of Europe. Comparable subscription-based delivery of technical and parts information to professional automotive repair shops.
• ALLDATA: US-headquartered provider of OEM-correct repair, collision, and parts information to workshops. Directly comparable business model (subscription-based technical and parts data for professional repair shops) at a different geographic scale.
• TecAlliance (TecDoc): Operates the dominant pan-European automotive aftermarket parts catalog (TecDoc/TecCat). Highly comparable to NBK in product (online parts identification) and target customers (workshops, wholesalers, importers), but operates at continental rather than national scale.
• Mitchell 1: Long-established US provider of automotive repair information, labor estimating, and parts look-up for workshops. Comparable to NBK in serving professional automotive repair shops with integrated parts identification and repair data.
• Autodata (Vitec): Workshop technical data product owned by Vitec, the same group whose Autosystemer entity is NBK's integration partner for Cars, Future, Helios, and Auto+/Verksted+. Closely overlaps with NB Biltek on technical specifications, work times, and EV data, and competes in the same workshop-software channel.

Emerging players

• PartsTech: US-based online parts catalog aggregating multiple suppliers for workshop look-up and ordering. Conceptually similar to NBK's catalog function for workshops, but a younger, more venture-funded entrant without NBK's industry-cooperative structure.

Broad incumbents

• Solera / Audatex: Large global provider of vehicle data, claims, and estimating platforms serving insurers, collision repairers, and workshops. Broader than NBK but overlaps on the parts/technical-data side of the workshop software stack.
• Vitec Group: Nordic vertical-software group whose Autosystemer division is NBK's core integration partner for workshop management systems. A larger, diversified incumbent in the same Norwegian/Nordic workshop-software value chain.

Regional players

• Bilkatalogen (DK/Swedish equivalents): Nordic regional automotive parts and product retailers/catalogs serving Denmark and parts of the Nordics. Less direct overlap on the B2B workshop-data side but represents the kind of Nordic-market parts catalog NBK could face if it expanded.
