Checkmate Retro
The older version ("blue screen") of Checkmate is still available, but now it's called Checkmate Retro. You can even have Checkmate Retro and Checkmate Sales Pro at work on the same machine! Each user can use Checkmate the way they like best.

Checkmate Inventory Pro
Inventory Pro is Checkmate's "command central" for inventory management. Not only can you add vehicle records and add loose parts, but it's also simple and straightforward for you to keep your inventory information clean and accurate. Built-in audits quickly uncover parts that need your attention or review. It's a snap to edit a single part, or even edit hundreds of parts at once, so you can quickly adjust to the market and encourage sales.

For example, you can:

  • Quickly find all parts that need grades assigned, or parts with a grade that may need to be updated.
  • Search for engines that have been in stock for over 2 years, and decrease all the prices by 10%.
  • Identify which parts are popular in your region, but that aren't getting many requests at your business. Edit part information or send the parts to Photomate (so your team can take pictures on their smartphones).
  • Review and update the highest-dollar Resolution Parts (parts that need interchange assigned) so they are visible when customers search Car-Part.com marketplaces.
  • Find parts that are still bolted onto a vehicle you're crushing, to scrap them and remove them from inventory.

Important changes like these can be made rapidly in Inventory Pro, so you can ensure that your parts are accurately described and priced when they're uploaded to online part listings.

Here's a demonstration of how some of these features work:



Workstation
Checkmate Workstation gives you access to many Checkmate and Car-Part tools from within one program, and these tools help you increase sales and improve your business's efficiency. Checkmate Workstation is free with Internet Checkmate, but some of the tools require an additional charge.

Dashboard
The Checkmate Workstation Dashboard gives you a real-time overview of your business, with dozens of "gadgets" that display charts and graphs with essential information about sales, inventory, employees, and more. These gadgets can calculate your business information for today, a day in the past, or for a specific time span. Click to learn more.

Imaging
Checkmate Imaging allows you to easily add images to your parts and vehicles. These images can then be viewed in Checkmate or uploaded online to Car-Part.com, Car-Part Pro, Trading Partners, your own website, and eBay. When you can see a picture of a part or vehicle, you can make more informed decisions when deciding between similar parts. Imaging increases employee productivity by enabling them to more accurately select which part to pull. Click to learn more.
