Nov. 11, 2014—WORLDPAC announced Monday a global strategic alliance with Autologic Diagnostics, a provider of comprehensive automotive diagnostics and expert technical support.
Autologic has integrated the WORLDPAC speedDIAL online cataloguing functionality into its diagnostic devices. Now, Autologic users that are also WORLDPAC customers can diagnose a vehicle, check parts availability, confirm pricing and place orders direct through their Autologic devices.
“Joining forces with WORLDPAC is going to save our shared customers a great deal of time and money in many direct and practical ways,” John Conoley, CEO of Autologic Diagnostics, said in a release. “WORLDPAC represents a fine fit for us and by integrating their service into our devices we will, overnight, extend the value of our devices into new areas of the technician’s workflow.”
The WORLDPAC service will be accessed through a single button on the Autologic device. WORLDPAC will then enter their existing account number. VIN numbers will then be exchanged seamlessly with WORLDPAC to ensure the right parts are ordered for the vehicle being diagnosed.
The new service became available to existing Autologic and WORLDPAC customers in October, and will form part of the next scheduled software update.
