April 30, 2006 – Activant Solutions, leading automotive aftermarket business solutions provider, has launched www.mastercat.co.uk, which will enable all sectors in the aftermarket supply chain to reap the benefits of its’ MasterCat electronic catalogue.
MasterCat.co.uk has two primary functions: The first being to introduce motor factors, retailers and garages to MasterCat electronic cataloguing and the second, as a support service to customer and supplier partners.
Both garages and motor factors can register for either a free 30-day online evaluation or full working CD of MasterCat, which will enable them to place more than 14 million part lookups through 1054 brand name catalogues listed, ensuring customers select the right part, first time. In addition, MasterCat’s VRM (Vehicle Registration Marks) lookup facility provides definitive vehicle specification.
MasterCat.co.uk encourages supplier partners to play an active role in the catalogue’s continued development as it allows them to access, verify and update the parts data they send to MasterCat including graphics and bulletins. With over 5,500 datapoints across the UK and Ireland, MasterCat sets the benchmark for high quality electronic cataloguing.
The site also features a comprehensive support section for both suppliers and customers, where change requests, can be logged via Activant’s online CCR portal and essential MasterCat documents downloaded.
