Feature # 8 – Automatic Parts Cost Updates
The cost of all stocking and non-stocking parts which have ever been entered into the software, and which are sourced from an integrated vendor can be scheduled to automatically update at selected intervals.
Example: The software “calls the vendor” and all prices are checked and updated at 3:00AM every Sunday morning.When an estimate is created Monday morning, the parts cost will always be accurate regardless of how long it has been since that part was last sold. This will plug a money leak that exists in almost every shop. -

FastTrak Auto Shop Manager contains an automated cost and pricing update for integrated suppliers. The system updates part costs and calculates the selling price based on the appropriate mark up matrix. Also prices are updated on all canned jobs that contain the parts that are updated. The system also records the date of the cost update and this date is visible during repair order processing.
