PartsTrader Now Integrates with the ProfitNet Shop Management System
|
|
|
PartsTrader and Axalta Coating Systems recently announced the general availability of the new ProfitNetTM Collision Shop Management System (CSMS) interface. This integration is a two-way electronic interface between the ProfitNet Management System and PartsTrader that helps eliminate redundant tasks between the two systems. Key information needed for parts procurement and order status can now be transferred seamlessly between the PartsTrader and ProfitNet systems. Read the press release here.
|
|
If your shop uses ProfitNet and would benefit from using the integration, contact YADA Systems at (800) 634-2614 or at [email protected]. While you're working with YADA Systems, don't forget to schedule training. With the integration enabled, you'll be able to prevent duplicate orders, avoid re-keying order information and minimize the screen switching between PartsTrader and ProfitNet. You'll save time, increase your accuracy and maintain workflows within ProfitNet.
There is no charge to enable and use this integration.
