LIVERMORE, Calif. The Activant Cover-to-Cover graphical eCatalog module logged a record 10.1 million user visits in March, a 24 percent increase over February’s 8.2 million visits and a 63 percent jump over March 2009.
The Cover-to-Cover eCatalog module has attracted more than 180 million total hits, demonstrating its broad adoption as a primary sales tool by aftermarket distributors, jobbers and installers, according to Activant.
The Activant Cover-to-Cover module enables automotive parts distributor and jobber professionals and installers to access detailed product photos and illustrations, technical bulletins, installation instructions and other important information covering millions of replacement parts and other products.
