Manufacturers that do not want to distribute their catalog on physical media can enable the EzPartsUpdater and allow their distributor's, dealer's, service technician's and customers's electronic parts catalog software and data to be updated over the internet eliminating traditional distribution costs related to distributing your catalog. EzParts was one of the first Electronic parts catalog to provide online updating of locally installed manufacturer data.

Superior Multi-lingual Functionality
EzParts Electronic Parts Catalog Software provides true multi-lingual functionality. This means that all application menus as well as all parts and service data supports multiple languages.
EzParts will automatically serve ALL resources and Bills of Materials in the appropriate language of the user's choice. Technical service bulletins, Owners Manuals, Sales Brochures, Warranty information, Schematics, Parts Listings, you name it. When language specific resources exist they are automatically displayed. If however a specified resource is not available in the users preferred language, the resources and parts information is displayed in the primary or default language within the online parts and service catalog.
The Multi-Lingual experience in EzParts provides language specific menus, navigation and data. There is no limit to the number of languages the Electronic Parts Catalog can support. Function Menus, Navigation trees, Service data, Parts lists and Bills of materials are all displayed automatically in the users preferred language.
The user can even "switch" languages on the fly. A dealer who speaks primarily English can easily work with a Spanish speaking customer by switching between English and Spanish versions of the Bill of Material for any illustration. screen shot
Automatic Kit Component Display
Kits and assemblies are native in Version 5.0. While the EzParts has always had the ability to handle kits and sub-assemblies; this functionality is taken to a new level with our "nesting" capability. With nesting, kits and assemblies are more easily identified on the bill of material listing within the electronic Parts Catalog. The nesting functionality allows the user to click on the master entry in the Bill of Material and review the individual assembly and kit components in the Electronic Parts Catalog Software. Optionally kit "components" and assembly "components" can be automatically appended into the Bill of Material at run time when only the "kit part number" or "component part number" appears in the Bill of Material. This saves you costly edits and updates.
Kits and assembly components are automatically "indented" on the Electronic Parts Catalog's bill of material. Clicking the master part number for the kit or assembly will hide/show the components for that assembly. Manufacturers and users can determine the "default display mode" for kits and assemblies components as initially expanded or not
Like or Similar Parts
Automated "like", "similar" and "re-manufactured" parts inclusion options provide ability to append similar, related and re-manufactured parts to the Bill of Material where applicable without editing or updating your BOM. These inclusions are generated dynamically by EzParts Electronic Parts Catalog Software and are color-coded to allow easy identification and make users aware of their options directly on the Bill Of Material.
Super-sessions - Replacement Parts
Part super-sessions are automatically managed by EzParts Electronic Parts Catalog Software. Wherever the original part or a part in a super-session chain is used, EzParts will automatically display the super-session chain and current replacement part to the user. EzParts Electronic Parts Catalog Software supports one to one and one to many part replacements. screen shot
Plain Text, Indenting, BOM Part Grouping
The Bill of Material has been enhanced even further with the ability to insert plain text, blank lines, indentation and groupings into the Bill of Material that are clearly visible to the user while viewing the BOM at run time. This allows for easy visual identification of parts groupings where schematics may illustrate more than one component, assembly or class of parts.
