Are you still using the old "Hours X Dollars" for Paint & Materials?

Producing accurate paint & material estimates isn't easy. Most recognize that the "Hours x Dollars" method is inconsistent and alternatives have proven to be costly and time consuming.

Today's method makes it difficult to:

  • Easily itemize materials used for each repair since many materials are purchased in bulk;
  • Accurately charge for materials used in blend and refinish operations which will vary for each repair and paint type used;

    • System Comes Preloaded With:

    • Refinisher pricing for over 20 paint lines from the top 5 paint manufacturers
    • Refinisher pricing for commonly used 3M products
    • Profiles for each paint line for Refinish and Blend Operations based on consumption rates researched throughout the collision industry.
    • EMS interface with CCC, ADP, Mitchell and WebEst for easy transfer of information.
    • One-click itemized material report generation that can be attached as an image.
    • Flexibility to easily make specific adjustments, based on the individual repair.
    • FREE 14 Day Trial!
