New Features coming to Pinnacle Professional

19.1 brings lots of new features, but 2 exciting additions are some changes to the modify part and MVR/parts screens to allow inventory decisions to be made from these screens, over the usual PDR process. We’ve also improved the pricing functions around core parts and surcharges to help maximise income from these often neglected areas..

Hollander International are delighted to announce version 19.1 of the Pinnacle Professional yard management system will be available soon to all users in UK and EU. Currently going through beta, customers can look forward to a range of new features, enhancements and bug fixes.

As always Pinnacle Professional updates are free and made available to all users unless detailed otherwise. As part of this Pinnacle release, the development team have focused on increasing efficiency around many of the day to day processes you rely on Pinnacle for supporting during the inventory process.

New Features

There are 5 new features being added to Pinnacle as part of version 19.1.

• The ability to see IC images on Modify/Edit parts screens. Helping users identify parts we have included a new button called “IC Images” which when clicked shows images associated with that part and interchange.
• Ability to create a tag number for all parts when added to inventory including Y and U stats parts.
• Changes to “Find parts” to support searching for unresolved parts when searching for a specific interchange.
• Ability to colour code unresolved parts from the look and feel menu within Pinnacle.
• Basic stats now included in the MVR/Parts tab for any part that has an IC number.

Enhancements

• VIN Decode gets additional enhancements to the user experience. The VIN decode results table can now be sorted by clicking on the table header rows.
• VIN Decode now utilises improved manufacturer field matching to enhance model matches.
• VIN Decode – CVT and DSG gearboxes on decoding now populate the MVR with “automatic” as the transmission type.
