OEConnection To Create Parts Order Import Feature From Mitchell's ABS Body Shop Management System
RICHFIELD, Ohio -- OEConnection, LLC, the venture created by DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Bell & Howell, has announced that it will create an import feature between CollisionLink(SM), its online collision parts application, and Mitchell's ABS(TM) Body Shop Management System, making parts ordering for CollisionLink 'customers who use the Mitchell ABS system quicker, easier, and more accurate.
CollisionLink's import feature will take advantage of new functionality available in Mitchell's recently released ABS Version 7.1. Users will generate parts orders in ABS, just as they did in previous versions, but will be able to use a new ABS feature enabling them to create an electronic export file of the parts order. CollisionLink will be able to import the ABS exported parts order and allow the user to send that order to their parts supplying OE dealership, streamlining the parts ordering process by eliminating multiple estimating system extracts.
This functionality will be included in OEConnection's upcoming version of CollisionLink, to be available within the next 60 to 90 days.
CollisionLink verifies collision parts information for accuracy and completeness, aiming to enable dealerships to respond more quickly and comprehensively in providing parts for collision repairs. OEConnection also recently announced its D2DLink product -- an online parts locator for dealer-to-dealer parts transactions.
