A module allowing for more accurate repair planning has been developed and is ready for general distribution. Very flexible by design, it will enable you to pre-plan specific sections of the repair process (i.e. dis-assembly, prep, paint, sublet repairs, detailing etc.) Repair planning is available at no cost to registered system users, please contact technical support to schedule an installation.
Audatex has introduced some far reaching changes in its estimating platform. Among others, the actual database structure was revised and upgraded to DB3. In only 2 business days, our team has researched, modified, tested and made available to our client base the new version of the popular module, again demonstrating our commitment to prompt customer service.
For best results, please follow the installation instructions exactly as they are presented.
The AccessPoint update to address the changed file structure within Audatex estimating systems is available for download as a self-installing file.
If you have attended the ImEX user seminar on April 24 2010, you may appreciate the chance to download the abbreviated version of topics discussed. Download the file here. Of course, feel free to call me to discuss any questions you may have. It was good to see you there, thanks for coming!
