R.O. Writer has released Version 2.4 of its software for general repair and tire shops. According to the company, the new version of R.O. Writer was designed to make it easier for all of its customers to purchase parts from suppliers that are fully integrated in the system. Customers now have the option to use R.O. Writer’s Smart eCat catalog for online parts or locate the parts they need from partners’ parts catalogs, including Federated Auto Parts.

Version 2.4 also includes the centralized management and scheduling of software upgrades aimed at helping multi-shop owners schedule, manage and run cloud-based updates for multiple shops at the same time.
