Installers can get a free t-shirt and enter to win a computer simply by seeing a short demo of Vision at SEMA Booth 4920. Visitors to Profit Pro's booth can also take home a full-functioning 30-day free trial of Vision. Says Brad Duncan, President & CEO of Profit Pro, "We are tremendously excited to introduce Vision to the aftermarket. We anticipate that Vision will rapidly become the standard system used by service professionals for estimating, information, and ordering." Already, Profit Pro has agreements with several aftermarket companies to distribute Vision nationwide to installers. Vision will enhance the ability of installers to locate and order parts with speed and accuracy. In addition to being an estimating tool with electronic parts cataloging and labor guides, Vision is an Internet browser and industry news source. Vision does not replace repair shop business management systems, but rather enhances them. Consistent with Profit Pro's open-platform philosophy, any repair shop system can integrate Vision for parts look up, Internet browsing, and parts ordering (and more). In addition, many jobber and WD management providers are integrating Vision for direct ordering into their inventory systems. Says Brad Duncan, "Profit Pro has taken the role of an e-commerce enabler. We really work behind the scenes, providing databases and technology that make efficient e-commerce possible."
