LIVERMORE,
Calif. – The Activant Cover-to-Cover graphical eCatalog module logged a
record 10.1 million user visits in March, a 24 percent increase over
February’s 8.2 million visits and a 63 percent jump over March 2009.
The Cover-to-Cover eCatalog module has attracted more than 180 million
total hits, demonstrating its broad adoption as a primary sales tool by
aftermarket distributors, jobbers and installers, according to
Activant.
The Activant Cover-to-Cover module enables
automotive parts distributor and jobber professionals and installers to
access detailed product photos and illustrations, technical bulletins,
installation instructions and other important information covering
millions of replacement parts and other products.
"This
explosive growth shows that the Activant Cover-to-Cover module is a
true game-changer at the parts counter and service desk, providing
critical information that was previously available only through print
catalogs and other traditional sources,” said Paul Salsgiver, executive
vice president, Activant Solutions. “The almost instantaneous
availability of photos and other value-added information through this
solution helps drive sales, reduce returns and increase customer
loyalty.”
Activant’s March user data shows that 35,438 visits
were logged in a single hour, 373,814 in a single day and nearly 2.3
million in one week – all records.
More than 5,000
distributor and jobber locations now use the Activant Cover-to-Cover
module, as do tens of thousands of repair facilities that gain access
through eStores, shop management platforms and Activant Value Added
Resellers.
The Activant Cover-to-Cover module is available
for use with the full suite of Activant PartExpert eCatalog products,
including the revolutionary Activant LaserCat 3 application as well as
the Activant ShopCat and Activant ePartExpert applications.
