Ordering and managing stock of automotive refinish products is now easier and quicker than ever thanks to an innovative new mobile app developed by the market leader, PPG. Available only for customers in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the new Inventory App strengthens the PPG COLLISION SERVICES platform to offer smart ordering for smart body shops.
Forget about writing down difficult product codes on pieces of paper, users can simply use their smartphones to scan products and submit their orders to their preferred distributors in just a few seconds through the PPG Inventory App – avoiding mistakes and saving time. PPG distributors can also use the Inventory App to take orders from body shops when they visit them.
Bodyshops no longer have to worry about running out of key paint products thanks to the app’s functionality to complete regular stock checks and manage inventory efficiently. Moreover, the Inventory App is fully integrated with PPG PAINTMANAGER XI software and MOONWALKTM paint mixing system to establish automatic reordering points when levels are low. This helps body shops to ensure they keep just the stock they need.
“At PPG, our commitment to our customers extends far beyond supplying high-quality coatings and materials. We invest in developing innovative solutions that make their day-to-day lives at work easier and their businesses more profitable. With our new Inventory App, body shops can say goodbye to time-consuming stock checks and spend more time doing billable, revenue-generating work,” said Alberto González, Business Solutions, Digital Marketing and Branding manager, PPG Automotive Refinish EMEA.
Lastly, thanks to the integration of Inventory with PPG Collision Services Analytics, body shop managers can track all product purchases and consumptions, comparing them with their monthly targets.
The PPG Inventory App is compatible with IOS and Android smartphone devices and supports all the PPG Group brands. Bodyshops and distributors interested in this solution are invited to contact their local PPG organization for a free trial.
