PaintManager® XI Features
Color Search

A powerful, smart search engine provides results with minimal input. Single or multi-segment presets allow for managing work with added flexibility.

Confident Color Matching - Information that is current assures business process success. The PaintManager® XI software embodies innovation that takes the guesswork out of formula retrieval.

Always Updated - Receive daily system updates including color formulations, product information and software improvements. Share custom tinted formulas (in network or cross locations), bring traditional sprayout libraries to life (tag and search) or go one step further and add RapidMatch™ device measurements for enhanced digital color search.
Mix & Weigh
Personalized Mix Sessions - One of the most recognized improvements within the application and promotes a one-step mixing process approach to paint operation. Users can build repair layers starting with the color and add your favorite undercoat and clear. The weigh screen allows simple and easy navigation between components and offers magnified end point detection to promote 100% mix accuracy.
Reduce Waste, Save Time - Estimating with accuracy the amount of color, clear or primer needed for a repair is achievable with the enhanced Estimate Volume feature. Painters can select the closest vehicle or truck part and adjust the number of coats for full coverage or blend panels to dial in the precise volume of product to mix.
Team Management - Customizable user presets allow greater transparency on team roles and responsibilities. Mixing operations can be viewed via the Mix Queue associated with any job, providing up-to-the-minute details on the progress of any project.
My Work. My Space - Taking the concept of Mix Sessions to the next level with Jobs.

A must-have utility for organizing and building personal work plans.
We Mean Business - The heart of the collision center is throughput. Elevating the number of vehicles coming to the shop and reducing touch points yields profitability. Jobs is a simple and easy tool to track all Repair Orders and generate Estimate information.

And if you want to elevate your business to the next level – take advantage of the new Inventory and Pricing features.
