Classes

Morning Sessions

Customer Setup (8:00am-8:30am)
We strongly encourage you to bring your Windows laptop with you to class. You do not need to have any of our software installed on your laptop to participate - during this half hour, we will connect participants' computers to our simulation environment, giving you access to the software products we will discuss today.

Bidmate
Bidmate calculates a vehicle's worth to your business and how well it will return your investment, so you know how much to bid at the auction. In this session, we will discuss the entire Bidmate workflow including downloading and importing auction data (by subscription or manually), evaluating vehicles, and bidding on vehicles. We'll show you how your own Checkmate data, combined with Car-Part.com request data, makes Bidmate the most powerful tool for evaluating a vehicle's worth to your own business and in your own region. We'll also discuss Car-Part Salvage (online salvage buying available exclusively for auto recyclers), and how to determine the value of core parts.

Inventory
We'll talk about the inventory processes in both Partmate and Checkmate Sales Pro, plus our new mobile imaging app, Photomate!

We'll start with Partmate. Partmate makes the process of inventorying new vehicles quicker, easier, and simpler than ever before. It's designed to work on a tablet, so you can bring it into the yard with you. We'll talk about Partmate's direct connection with Bidmate and Checkmate. Partmate expedites the inventory process by filling out many part descriptions for you and by making it a snap to take photos that you can include in your online parts listings. If you've been using Partmate for a while, you'll be excited to learn about some of our latest enhancements (inspired by requests and feedback from recyclers who use it every day).

Then, we'll talk about the inventory management features in Checkmate Sales Pro. We'll talk about the recent enhancements to the Bulk Editing feature to help you edit even more part information on many parts at once. We'll also talk about how to edit parts, AUTs, and VUCs, and how to remove a part from inventory.

We'll finish by showing you Photomate, our new mobile imaging app! With Photomate, you can take photos of parts from your mobile device and send them right back to Checkmate (where they'll then be included in your next inventory upload to Car-Part.com marketplaces). And it's super easy to assign parts to Photomate with the new Save/Load Filters settings, which lets you save your Parts tab filter settings to use over and over. We can't wait to show you how our tools work together to make your workday more efficient and productive.

Checkmate Sales Pro
We have just released a major new update to Checkmate Sales Pro, called Build 82. We're excited to show you what's new! In this session, we will review the Checkmate Sales Pro workflow and then take a deep dive into the latest enhancements. You'll learn the fastest and easiest ways to search for parts, and all of the information and options available at your fingertips while you're selecting your interchange options. In your search results, we'll show you how take advantage of the huge amount of information you have access to (and how to hide what you don't want to see). We'll also show you how to limit/filter your search results by attributes like grade, keywords, year range, and much more. We'll talk about the different types of sales you can make and all of the resources available to help you price parts. We'll show you all of the options available from your search results including tag printing, pick slips, and view part/vehicle history.

We'll also talk about the process of Quoting, creating Work Orders, and creating Purchase orders, and all of the powerful and new enhancements available during these processes.

Finally, we'll show you all of the new features we've added to the Checkmate Accounting tool to make it easier than ever to look up customers, link invoices, make back office payments and credits, and copy information to Excel.

We recommend that you arrive to this class with a basic understanding of how to look up parts in Checkmate Sales Pro. But if you're brand new to Checkmate Sales Pro, don't worry! We are offering FREE bonus one-on-one appointments the evening before this Car-Part World Tour Training event. During this appointment, a Car-Part trainer can walk you through the basics so you're ready for this class on Saturday. (More information about these bonus appointments is available on the registration page.)


Lunch

Lunch is not provided. There are a variety of restaurants available close to the hotel.


Afternoon Sessions

Order Trakker
Order Trakker is a program in Checkmate Workstation that tracks your work orders from sales to delivery. You can track invoices from the time of the order until the part is delivered, and you will always know where the parts are and who has worked on the orders! In this session, we will talk about how to customize Order Trakker to fit best into your workflow. We'll show you how to track your business' production workflow with Order Trakker, how to view a part's history, and the available Checkmate Reports that break down the data Order Trakker has captured. We'll also show you how Order Trakker integrates with EZ-Route to most efficiently route your trucks.

Reports & Dashboard
Checkmate Reports and Dashboard unlock your Checkmate data. Checkmate Reports dramatically increase your ability to access all data that is stored in your Checkmate inventory management system. These reports allow you to view your business in a comprehensive way that helps you make better business decisions and manage more effectively. Dashboard gives you a real-time overview of your business throughout the day, with dozens of charts and graphs that show you about sales, inventory, employees, and more.

With Checkmate Reports and Dashboard, you easily unlock information like "what parts do I need to reprice?" "how many parts did Joe sell last week?" and "how much have I made from the vehicles I bought last month?"

Checkmate Listing Manager for eBay, and Car-Part Interchange Plus
Our Checkmate Listing Manager for eBay tool allows you to list many parts on eBay at once, with just the click of a button. eBay gives you the opportunity to sell parts that may not sell frequently in your yard. It's fast and easy because our eBay tool automatically pulls detailed information and images from Checkmate and creates the listing for you! In this session, we'll discuss how to create a custom template for your listings, and the most efficient ways to decide which parts to list on eBay - and then list them!

We'll also talk about Car-Part Interchange Plus and how it enhances your eBay listings. This interchange enhancement option provides interchange for many miscellaneous part types that did not previously have interchange, like rocker moulding and glove boxes. Car-Part Interchange Plus helps you accurately inventory these parts, and makes them easier to sell. This is the perfect complement to eBay, where many recyclers find extra sales by listing these miscellaneous parts.
