Many automotive shop management systems have an automatic matrix pricing table that will apply a predetermined markup to a part that falls within a certain cost range. The inherent problem in all matrixes is the 'stair-step' effect that occurs when the cost of a part increases slightly, it may fall into the next higher cost range that has a lower markup. This costs you money.

Only R.O. Writer Professional has Linear Pricing that is is a significant improvement over standard matrix pricing and will help an average shop to improve net profit by about $15,000 within the first 12 months of use! Our Linear Pricing eliminates the inherent 'stair-step' effect that erodes your parts profitability. Keep reading to see how Linear Pricing works.

Shown below is a typical parts pricing matrix table. Take a look at Example 1 and see how a part that cost you $2.50 this week would sell for $8.33 but when the cost of the part increases by only a nickel next week, it would then fall into the next higher cost range with a lower margin and you would sell it for $1.04 less than before. Wouldn't it be unlikely that you would catch this? It would likely just slip through the cracks. Next, see how in Example 2 the loss is even greater! With Linear Pricing from R.O. Writer, these "Profit Voids" (shown in red in the chart) do not occur. Scroll down and see what a dramatic effect Linear Pricing can have on Repair Order that has several parts.

It's easy to see that over the course of a year that R.O. Writer Linear Pricing will improve your bottom line significantly!
