MACON, Ga. – Aftermarket IT solutions provider ComputerLogic has announced that its popular paint and materials management system, PMCLogic, is now available online.

In addition to providing new functionality, PMCLogic “On-Line” makes the initial installation process faster and easier and provides software and data updates on a more frequent basis.

PMCLogic automatically imports data from the three major estimation providers (Audatex, CCC and Mitchell) to provide a quick and accurate estimate of the total cost of paint and materials for a specific vehicle repair.

Rick Palmer, president and CEO of ComputerLogic, stated, “PMCLogic is much more than just a paint and materials (P&M) estimation and invoicing product. It is a management system that provides accurate data on the cost of each job and provides a list of materials used in a specific repair process.”

He added, “Our calculations are based on thousands of unique templates which reflect the actual, real-world repair process. The time and cost expended in gathering this information and ‘getting it right’ is what makes PMCLogic such a unique and trustworthy product.”

Instead of using refinish hours to calculate the estimated volume of paint and materials used in a repair, PMCLogic focuses on what work is actually being done to each affected panel or structural part. The data gathered over many years of paint and material research is used to list the specific types and quantity of items used for a specific type of repair or refinish process. This information, along with the paint and material manufacturers’ suggested selling price for each item, allows PMCLogic to quickly and easily calculate the total cost of the P&M expended for each unique vehicle repair.

During the month of May, ComputerLogic is offering a free seven-day trial to all repairers and insurers who would like to evaluate this new program. To receive a login to PMCLogic On-Line, go to www.PMCLogic.org and fill out the activation form.
