March 15, 2013—AzkoNobel Automotive & Aerospace Coatings (A&AC) on Friday announced the launch of Link Manager, a new software tool meant to improve operational efficiencies for body shops.

A&AC Link Manager enables data flow between CCC ONE Repair Workflow and AzkoNobel A&AC’s MixitPro and QuickMix color management systems.

“We see A&AC Link Manager as another tool to improve efficiency and boost productivity in bodyshop operations, very much in line with our entire process-driven bodyshop approach,” said Mike Sillay, business development services manager for AzkoNobel. “With the automatic update capabilities built into Link Manager, it can save the front office and the painter valuable time and improve accuracy with paint costing and tracking.”

AkzoNobel said the software can be installed on any PC that hosts color management software. Users can schedule automatic connections to the bodyshop management system and obtain the latest information concerning the vehicle in need of repairs.
