CassTime Introduces AI-Driven 'T+D Solution' Following AAPEX 2026 in Las Vegas

At the recently concluded AAPEX 2026 in Las Vegas—which drew more than 45,000 professionals from 128 countries and regions alongside over 2,500 exhibitors—Li Li, CEO of International Business at CassTime, introduced the company's AI-driven "T+D Solution" during the 2026 CassTime Partner Conference. In the framework, "T" stands for Digital Trade via the CassChoice procurement platform, while "D" represents an intelligent localized service platform powered by PartGrid.

To solve fragmented supply and manual order splitting across regional markets including the Middle East, Brazil, Central Asia, and North America, CassChoice has accumulated more than 5 million SKUs—with comprehensive VIN decoding and parts coverage for Chinese-brand vehicles—and can generate batch quotations in seconds for orders exceeding 10,000 SKUs. On the local service side, PartGrid connects via tools such as a multilingual WhatsApp Chatbot and deploys three specialized AI agents: an AI Repair Master that synchronizes repair cases, an insurance claims assessment agent combining fault analysis with labor-hour estimation, and a 24/7 AI Seller. In Saudi Arabia, CassTime has already deployed the model with local partner Tamam, whose digital platform manages claims business for nearly half of Saudi Arabia's insurance companies (North & South America contact Ben Chan, +86 186 6512 3710).
