The Software was designed to work seamless with a number of electronic catalogs using modern communication tools. As a result, the integration of the catalogs with the work order system is very unique and powerful.
Before you can use the catalog, you must identify the vehicle's year,
make, model, and engine. The icon allow
you to quickly enter the vehicle information on one dialog or you can
use the smart labels beside each field. A quick list of the last 25 vehicles
you looked up is provided under the vehicle information. When
using the catalog within the work order, the vehicle card will automatically
pass the information to the catalog when using Epicor (formerly Activant)
or NAPA. NAPA will require that you enter the vehicle information specific
to their vehicle table listings. This is only required the first time
you use the catalog for that vehicle. Subsequent lookups will remember
the information.
