PPG has integrated its PPG AdjustRite commercial estimating platform with PPG PaintManager XI color management software for enhanced workflow efficiency and improved productivity for users of PPG products in the commercial vehicle repair industry.
The integration enables the seamless transfer of data from the PPG AdjustRite platform directly into the PPG PaintManager XI software, automating material inputs and reducing the need for duplicate data entry. PPG said this functionality allows users to track, manage, and report on paint material usage and job costs with greater accuracy and speed.
“By connecting these two platforms, we help our customers operate more efficiently and profitably,” said Doug Orr, PPG AdjustRite platform manager, Automotive Refinish. “This integration reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and customer-focused innovation.”
Key benefits of the integration, according to PPG, include:
Streamlined job setup between estimating and paint software
Elimination of duplicate data entry to reduce the risk of errors
Improved accuracy and consistency in material calculations
Access to advanced tracking and reporting
This feature is available exclusively to customers using both the PPG AdjustRite estimation platform and PPG commercial transport coatings. PPG said the integration aligns with its broader strategy of delivering digital refinish solutions that improve shop performance and help address labor and workflow challenges.
