ProDemand Update: Enhanced Estimate Guide
What’s new in the current release?
ProDemand’s Estimate Guide has been overhauled to optimize your experience when building an estimate. Using the same category organization that you’re familiar with, ProDemand now brings together labor times, OEM parts pricing and part diagrams viewable in a single page – making it simpler and faster to navigate directly to the auto repair information you need.
Here’s what it looks like in the software:
