What a shop sees when it looks up a part

A real autoecat screen: alternators for a 2013 Honda Accord, priced for one shop.

autoecat results for 2013 Honda Accord alternators, with each part’s price, branch stock and an Add to Cart button
  1. The vehicle, all the way down. Year, make, model, engine and part type stay on screen, so nobody quotes for the wrong Accord.

  2. That shop’s own price. Every lookup asks Counterpoint what this customer pays. No price sheets.

  3. Your stock, branch by branch. Seven in Burnaby, live, before they pick up the phone.

  4. Add to Cart, and it lands at your counter. The order arrives in Counterpoint with a reference number. Follow one order through →

Also in the box: Smart Replenishment checks the nightly suggested order before you send it, and Account Watch gives every rep a call list each morning.

No server in the back room

We can run your Counterpoint server for you in a Canadian data centre in Vancouver, looked after by the same people who support your software.

We came in on the Monday, after the weekend conversion, expecting a tough week. To our delight we were invoicing from the moment we opened for business.
