LIVERMORE, CA, April 29, 2009 – The Activant Cover-to-Cover graphical electronic catalogue module registered an all-time high of 6.2 million user visits in March, continuing a succession of new usage, record monthly highs.

First introduced as an modular enhancement of MasterCat Electronic Catalogue in 2004, the Activant Cover-to-Cover module includes high quality product images as well as additional detailed information – such as aftermarket technical service bulletins, installation instruction files, material safety data sheets, warranty details and more – for approximately 3.5 million part numbers. This content plays a vital role in helping automotive parts professionals and installers increase sales and reduce returns.

"Use of the Activant Cover-to-Cover module has exploded over the past year and a half," said Tom Aliotti, senior vice president and general manager of the Activant automotive business group. “More importantly, our customers tell us that it plays a direct role in helping them to sell more parts and to cut returns at the counter.

The Activant Cover-to-Cover module is available for use with the full suite of MasterCat data products, including the Vehicle Registration Marks (VRM) and MasterCat 3D with vehicle statistics.
