Identifix announces XTool partnership to bring Direct-Hit database to scan tools

Solera and Identifix announced a relationship with XTool that will allow technicians to access the Direct-Hit diagnostic and repair information database directly from XTool scan tools.

The Prodigy, XTool's new flagship scan tool, and the Compass scan tools will be able to seamlessly access factory OE manuals and service information, multiple wiring diagrams for cross-referencing, and a library of real-world insights from Hotline Archives and millions of Confirmed Fixes. 

By easily referencing the database of ASE-certified, technician-submitted shortcuts, users can quickly and effectively identify the best solution and how to implement it. The partnership eliminates the need for technicians to switch between devices or platforms when diagnosing a vehicle, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.

What people are saying

Vice President of Product and Marketing at XTool U.S. Haresh Gobin said, “As we assessed the landscape of the automotive repair informatics industry. Our vision was to not only just add another run of the mill feature for the sake of it, our wish was to integrate the best possible solution into our scan tool platform to enable our scan tool users to become faster with pinpoint quality accuracy in their day-to-day diagnostic methodologies and repairs -- enabling their shops to maximize revenue and profit. There was undeniably only one option in the industry that would make this a reality: Identifix’s Direct-Hit product. We are extremely delighted that Identifix saw the potential in our product and was open to this collaboration.”

Meredith Zimmerman, SVP of Repair Solutions at Solera, said, "This offering is a major step forward in how diagnostic and repair intelligence is delivered. With Direct-Hit accessible through the XTool platform, we've removed barriers and empowered technicians with instant, in-bay access to the insights they rely on every day. It's a smart, fast path to accurate repairs and a more productive shop floor."
