wacs will allow today’s dealer
to be tomorrow’s reference in
maintenance and service
Who are we?
Though MATEVA Belgium is a new name on the market, the product wacs is not.
MATEVA Belgium is, since the foundation in 2010, owner of the innovative, web-based solution wacs for the
fleet market.
wacs has its roots in SoftWare and Consultancy, a company active in the markets of automotive and
transportation since 1995, with years of business experience. The solution is developed together with a well-
known industrial partner Bluekens.
MATEVA Belgium‘s strategic plan for the next years is based on commercializing wacs on a large scale, by
enlarging our target market:
from very small, over very large to network companies (volume)
over the Benelux boundaries to Europe (territory)
from purely automotive (cars, trucks, trailers) to all “asset” care driven companies (type)
MATEVA Belgium aims to accomplish this through:
ongoing investment in quality and extension of her solution wacs and her services
commercialization with own commercial staff and engaging in strategic partnerships (resellers,
partners with Value Added products or services)
ongoing follow up of the actual and future needs of her target markets through market studies, user
groups, business partnerships and networking
Who is our target market?
Workshops dealerships, rental companies, tire centers, used cars companies (service providers) and their
customers, suppliers (asset managers, owners) (contacts).
The target market can be related to rolling material such as
cars, ambulances, trucks, vans, trailers, buses, construction
equipment … (assets).
A market involving all sectors where there is need for
maintenance service and management of assets.
Why wacs?
wacs, a front office solution, as a window to the outside world, simple and transparent.
wacs is NOT a dealer management system but a suite of modules compatible to any classic dealer management system.
Dealerships require: more integrated processes, more real-time information processing, more service –
oriented approach in the interaction with their relations
wacs as a window to the overall present information
Only by gathering information anywhere, anytime, anyplace, into a central database, real time
measurement, thus “knowledge” is possible. With this real-time knowledge the wacs user is
able to give highest standard service to her customer/partner with an affordable ICT gateway
to “information”.

of 21
wacs is the dealer’s window to the external world
Migration from reliable, existing and functionally perfect back office systems to another
solution can be painful both on financial and organizational level. wacs as front office allows to
integrate required and desired functionality for tomorrow’s dealerships into solid back office
systems

wacs contains 4 levels of planning in following modules:
“Order Entry”: direct planning from any location to every location within the dealership(group)
Planning possibilities at order creation:
a. Order creation with specified date, hour and employee > direct in Personnel Planning
b. Order creation with date, but no time and/or employee > direct in Capacity Planning, to be
planned in Personnel Planning
c. Order creation with no planning info > to be planned in Capacity Planning
” Visual Planning”: Capacity planning: a month’s overview with capacity per day
” Visual Planning”: Personnel planning: Gantt chart per employee
” Customer Portal”: Reservation planning: calendar with availability per day, and available timeslots
These 4 planning levels are integrated in wacs. Changes in 1 level reflect changes in another.
wacs Visual Planning can be fed in 2 ways:
Through an external application
Through wacs orders
Capacity planning
Capacity planning is a month’s overview on day basis, which visualizes the % filled/free capacity per day,
taking into account a % of fixed orders and reservation of time for passersby. The “undated orders” can be
viewed and dragged/dropped on a day where enough free capacity is available.

altered later on. This is an important feature as planning codes are used to assemble a work order
Planning codes which are known by the system will allow the planner to see how much time it will
take to finish work orders.
Document
Documents can be attached to the planning codes which will be printed automatically when printing
the worksheet for the mechanics.

Document Center
Wacs Document Center provides a global document archive.

of 21
This archive can be consulted by both dealer and customer.
For instance, the customer has entered a rental contract with the dealer.
The dealer will create a specific map through the Document Center where the rental contract is uploaded.
When the dealer enables the link to the customer, the customer will be able to consult the specific document
through his asset passport.
Furthermore the customer will be informed if a new document has been linked to his account.
Since wacs is fully web based and as platform covering dozen of dealers, management of users seems not
that simple.
This is why Mateva developed a network administration tool which provides an overview of users and
installations. Another benefit of this software is the fact that dealer organizations also have the ability to
receive administration rights on this platform. This will allow easy management of users for both Mateva and
its customers who need this kind of control to manage their specific environment (dealers)
Middleware platform
One of the strengths of wacs as a platform is the ability to link to back-office systems like dealer management
systems. It is important that these links can be established as swiftly as possible.
Through the Mateva middleware platform linking to 3
rd
party systems becomes fairly easy.
The translation from the middleware towards wacs has been made generic. This means only 1 side of the
communication (from a 3
rd
party to the middleware) needs to be set up which leads to a faster way linking as
opposed to traditional interfacing.
