This exciting new capability will help our users save time, eliminate manual processes and provide an even higher level of service.”
“Dynamic Updates service is an important investment in the future of automotive service businesses, which need to have fast, convenient access to the right product and service information for each customer’s vehicle,” said Scott Thompson, Vice President, Automotive, Analytics and Content, Epicor. “Availability of the latest parts information and related content from Epicor enables Smart eCat users to capture more service opportunities across a broader range of vehicles.”
