FEATURES and BENEFITS
Inventory Control — Create a permanent
record of every part and vehicle you inventory. Save time with the
ability to change prices, scrap hulks, move vehicles and parts,
or reprint tags from one easy-to-access location.
Access all historical data to guide future purchasing, and comply
with Motor Vehicle Department requirements. Automatically generate
standard dismantling worksheets to increase your productivity.
New Sales Workflow — Focus on part sales, not part
lookups, with Powerlink's dramatically re-engineered sales workflow.
This new setup puts complete customer, inventory and sales information
within easy reach, so your counter people intuitively sell more
parts in less time.
Here's how it works. Instead of looking up and quoting part after
part like most inventory management systems on the market today,
Powerlink concentrates on selling parts. Start anywhere:
- Look Up a Part
- Find a Customer
- Access a past quote then quickly advance through the sales process
with the click of a mouse — no retyping, no looking up part
after part with separate quotes for each.
- Fundamentally streamline your day-to-day operations and dramatically
improve your business' performance.
Improved Quotes — Increase productivity by easily adding
multiple parts or services to an order. Enable your counter people
to up-sell customers and increase sales.
Bar-Coded Work Orders — Leverage ProScanner to immediately
bring the exact work order on screen with just one scan. It's a
much more professional way to work. No more typing or scrolling.
Smart Sell — Use these traffic signals to provide your
staff with an immediate, decisive assessment of a customer's account
standing and sales potential. Eliminate the guesswork and empower
your counterpeople to make more sales.
Powerlink ProView — Identify wheels, wheel covers and
front ends directly from the part lookup screen. Access more than
6,300 images for the last 15 model years.
Integrated Hollander Interchange — Match the parts
in your inventory to your customer's expectations, and reduce errors
when buying and selling with other recyclers. Both exact and non-exact
Hollander Interchange are included as part of every record to maximize
sales opportunities and enhance your customer service.
Invoicing and Accounts Receivable — Maintain tight
control over your business' finances by tracking parts sold and
payments received. Generate professional invoices, statements, and
delivery tickets. Quickly access details on customer accounts, and
manage cash flow.
Dismantling Worksheets — Increase speed and accuracy
during dismantling with Powerlink's improved standard worksheets.
Or, create your own custom worksheets.
Work Orders — Automatically coordinate which parts
need to be pulled to efficiently fulfill orders.
Standard Damage Codes — Accurately communicate part
conditions with onscreen diagrams of Standard Damage Codes, and
built-in menus of common descriptors. Log damage location, type,
and estimated repair hours as you enter new inventory.
Powerlink ProReports — Generate a comprehensive overview
of your business performance with new standard reports, including:
- Vehicle Profitability Analysis
- Sales History Analysis — customizable by part type or Hollander
Interchange number
- Customer Activity Analysis
- Counter Sales Performance
Create customized reports specifically designed for your business,
with Powerlink ProReports unrestricted reporting capability. Easily
export data to Windows-compatible software like Microsoft Excel
or Seagate Crystal Reports.
Faster EDEN Access — Take advantage of faster instant
access to the industry's largest parts locating network, with over
80 million parts from more than 3,000 recyclers. EDEN is fully integrated

adjusting inventory and prices from one menu. Update only the prices
that need to be changed, based on criteria you select, such as:
- Days in Stock
- Activity to Sales Ratio
Powerlink's new, user-friendly set-up walks you step-by-step through
the process, and allows you to simultaneously view complete sales
history for fast, accurate repricing.
