Summit Software to Release KPINet at NACE
Summit Software will launch KPINet(TM), a new data mining, analysis, and reporting system for collision repair businesses at this year’s NACE trade show. According to Summit, this new powerful and portable solution allows single shops, regional or national consolidators, and/or or collision repair networks of any size to select, consolidate, create, view, export, print, manage, and share literally millions of data combinations with a simple “drag and drop” interface.Frank Terlep, Summit’s President and Co-Founder stated, "The KPINet System could be the most powerful and important data mining, analysis, and management tool ever offered to the collision repairers. While I know this is a bold statement, I have never seen anything like this in my 20+ years in this business. Think of KPINet as Excel on steroids. It offers the power of a data warehouse and the custom reporting capabilities of high priced custom reporting software without the expense or programming expertise. Users simply select data elements from a list that includes hundreds of estimate, repair order, parts, insurance, production, financial, and other pertinent management data, drag and drop the specific data points they want to measure, align and select the columns, and then select the data range and/or number of locations they want to report on and, and the users have the management information they need in the format they want, when they need it. The combinations of data, information, and reporting is virtually unlimited.”
Summit Software also claims that KPINet is extremely portable and can be used, customized, and accessed from anywhere in the world. By purchasing the Portable KPINet System, owners, managers, and repair network operators simply insert a simple and inexpensive portable memory stick into a USB port on any computer and they have access to individual as well as entire network performance data that can be customized and/or shared in any fashion they choose.
