Your shops already call you for supplies.
Give them a reason to keep it that way.

RefinishControl runs inside each shop you supply, ten of them or a hundred, catching missed estimate line items and unbilled materials in one review screen. It isn't tied to any parts catalog, so putting it in front of your shops is a reason for them to stay, not a reason to look elsewhere.

Every shop on your account works from this same screen. It's a live demo org, not a mockup.

The pattern shows up whether you supply ten shops or a hundred.

Independent PBE distributors keep running into the same three things.

  • What you have today isn't built for this. Materials tracking or estimate help, if you offer it at all, is manual, aging, or missing outright.
  • The platform being pitched isn't yours. At least one shop you supply is being courted onto software built by whoever manufactures the parts it tracks, not by you, and not for you.
  • What you want is actually yours to offer. Your contract, your terms, not someone else's roadmap.

What your shops actually get.

The same review your shop customers would otherwise buy on their own, minus the search.

A review, not paperwork

Their CCC ONE or Mitchell estimate gets checked for missed line items. Materials get scanned against the repair order as they're used. Both show up in one accept/reject screen, not a form someone has to remember to fill out.

Nothing to switch away from

RefinishControl has no parts catalog of its own. A shop using it isn't being steered toward different clips, different paint, or a different vendor. It's reviewing what they already bought, from wherever they already buy it.

No hardware, no install

Materials scanning works with a phone camera or whatever barcode scanner a shop already owns. We don't sell hardware or require a cabinet program to get started.

Most tools like this already work for a parts manufacturer, not for you.

A lot of materials-tracking tools in this category are owned by whoever manufactures the parts they track: the software exists to keep a shop buying that manufacturer's clips, that manufacturer's fasteners. Fine trade for the manufacturer. Worse one for an independent distributor, because every suggestion that software makes is also a pitch for a catalog that competes with yours.

Parts manufacturers with a stake in what gets flagged

What's different here

RefinishControl isn't made by a parts manufacturer and doesn't have a catalog to protect. Putting it in front of your shops doesn't hand your customer relationship to somebody else's roadmap. It's a tool you chose to offer, on terms you agreed to, that keeps working the same way regardless of what any one manufacturer decides to do next.

Before you ask

No. RefinishControl doesn't stock or sell parts, clips, fasteners, paint, or anything else. It has no catalog of its own to push. Putting it in front of your shops doesn't put any of your own product lines at risk.

Each shop gets its own account: its own estimates, its own materials, its own team. You're the relationship that brought them in and the contract that covers them, not an operator sitting in the middle of their day-to-day.

Volume pricing across every shop you bring on, under one contract, not per-shop list price. See the Distributor tier on the pricing page, or tell us how many shops on a call and we'll scope it directly.

Tell us what visibility would actually be useful to you on a call. What's right for a ten-shop distributor and a fifty-shop distributor isn't the same thing, so this isn't something we quote off a feature list.

That's a common starting point, not a blocker. RefinishControl gives that shop, and you, an option that isn't tied to any one manufacturer's catalog or roadmap. Nobody has to rip anything out to start a conversation.

Bring a shop's estimate. We'll show you what it catches.

Then we can talk about what it looks like across the rest of your territory.
