EVC & WinOLS: credits and resellers, explained

Around the editor sits an ecosystem — EVC's data services, credits and reseller network. Here's how the pieces relate, and what it means for a tuning business.

Who EVC are

EVC electronic GmbH are the German developers of WinOLS and a long-standing supplier to the professional tuning trade. Beyond the editor itself, EVC operates data and reseller programmes that many tuning businesses interact with weekly — which is why "EVC" in tuning conversation can mean the company, the software licence, or the credit system, depending on context.

What EVC credits are

Credits are EVC's pay-per-use currency for data services consumed alongside WinOLS — rather than buying everything as one-off purchases, account holders draw down a credit balance as they consume services. For a busy file service this becomes a routine operating cost, sitting alongside definition data in the monthly tooling spend. Exact services, rates and terms are EVC's to publish and change — treat their site as the source of truth.

How the reseller system works

EVC operates a reseller network: businesses with reseller accounts can supply EVC products and credits onward to their own customers. In the tuning world this typically means an established file service or distributor holding a reseller account, with smaller shops and dealers obtaining credits through them rather than dealing with EVC directly. If your business grows to where dealers buy through you, a reseller relationship with EVC is worth exploring — directly with EVC, on their current terms.

Plain disclosure: RemapDash is portal software, independent of EVC. We don't sell WinOLS, and we don't sell credits — the integration described below works with credentials our operators hold themselves.

Where the portal fits

For operators who hold their own EVC reseller account, RemapDash integrates the credit workflow into the portal: your dealers buy EVC credits from you inside your branded portal, payment lands in your own PayPal or Stripe, and the credits apply to the customer's EVC account through your reseller pipeline — no spreadsheet reconciliation, no manual top-ups. It's the same philosophy as the rest of the feature set: the commercial relationship is yours; the software just removes the admin.

No reseller account? Nothing changes for you — the portal's credit system also runs your own job-credit currency, priced and sold by you, spent automatically as your customers submit files.

Common questions

What are EVC credits used for?

Credits are EVC's pay-per-use balance for data services consumed alongside WinOLS. Account holders draw down credits as they use services, making them a routine operating cost for busy file services. Current services and rates are published by EVC.

How do I become an EVC reseller?

Reseller relationships are agreed directly with EVC on their current terms. Typically it suits established businesses whose dealers and customers would buy EVC products and credits through them. Contact EVC via evc.de.

Does RemapDash sell EVC credits or WinOLS?

No. RemapDash is independent portal software. Operators who hold their own EVC reseller accounts can manage and sell credits to their customers through their portal using their own credentials — the commercial relationship is entirely between the operator, their customer and EVC.

Can my dealers buy credits through my portal?

Yes, if you hold an EVC reseller account: enter your reseller credentials in your portal settings and your customers with EVC IDs can buy credits from you, paid to your own payment accounts, applied to their EVC account through your pipeline. Your own portal job-credits work for everyone regardless.
