ComputerLogic and FinishMaster Sign Marketing Agreement
ComputerLogic, Inc. and FinishMaster, Inc. have signed a multi-year marketing agreement focused on the distribution of ComputerLogic's recently released paint and material costing and invoicing software, PMCLogicTM.PMCLogic is a business tool that addresses the important industry issue of accurately documenting and calculating the cost of all of the paint and materials used in the repair process. PMCLogic helps a shop easily record the quantity of paint and materials used in the repair and refinish process and automatically generates an invoice that can be submitted to the customer and/or insurance company for reimbursement.
FinishMaster plans to aggressively market PMCLogic to its more than 15,000 collision repair shops nationally. FinishMaster, with 162 distribution points covering 25 states, is a leading distributor of industrial and automotive paints, coatings and related accessories to the $2.5 billion U.S. automotive paint refinishing market.
"We are very excited about the opportunity of partnering with ComputerLogic to bring this valuable business tool to thousands of our shop customers," states Chuck VanSlaars, Senior Vice President, Marketing Development, FinishMaster, Inc. "FinishMaster is committed to continually delivering more value to our customers and the PMCLogic software product helps us accomplish this goal."
Terry Sanders, Vice President, Sales and Services for ComputerLogic, stated, "Working closely with FinishMaster provides us with an excellent opportunity to quickly expose PMCLogic to a large number of shops in a short period of time. They are recognized as an industry leader supplying paint and repair materials to the collision market and we are pleased to be working with them to provide such an important business solution to repairers and their business partners." According to Richard Arnold, Director of Marketing Services for ComputerLogic, PMCLogic is a product of over 23 years of experience and knowledge gained from working closely with insurers, repairers and paint and material suppliers like FinishMaster. "We believe that this product will help repairers produce an honest and accurate paint and material invoice that has historically been a tedious and difficult process without the aid of a tool like PMCLogic," stated Mr. Arnold.
