MAM Software today launched Autocat+ v3.0, the next major release of its popular electronic parts cataloguing software for motor factors, accessory retailers and parts distributors. This major release introduces a number of significant enhancements to the application and further extends its functionality.

Engine code and bodystyle matching

With its new engine code and bodystyle matching, this latest version of Autocat+ continues to make significant steps towards 'first-time-fit'. Where available, Autocat+ will match the engine code and bodystyle provided by the VRM lookup to data provided by component suppliers. By automatically highlighting matching components, this latest functionality improves the speed and accuracy of identification.

PDF technical notes

With the introduction of a new notes program, users can now gain access to component suppliers' technical notes in PDF format. Whenever available, Autocat+ will automatically indicate the availability of documentation. It can then be downloaded, viewed and printed as required.

Data query logging

Autocat's new logging routine provides a simple mechanism for raising enquiries regarding the component or VRM data. From within Autocat+, users can relay messages directly to MAM regarding a particular part number or application. After consulting the appropriate supplier, MAM will amend the data as necessary and a will post a reply back to the application.

Additional enhancements

The latest edition of Autocat+ benefits from a number of interface and operational enhancements including: Data update report; larger product images; buyers guide enhancements; exhaust quick lookup; extended VRM display; user specific passwords and a what's new report.

"Autocat+ v3.0 provides important new searching capabilities and extended technical data" explained Lee Broad, MAM's Director of Technical Development. "Our objective is to streamline the selection process and help our users supply on a first-time-fit basis. Hence, we're currently working with all our data suppliers to increase both the scope and accuracy of the information we can make available through Autocat+."
