Sept. 27, 2018
The PTEN Innovation Awards recognize the most innovative products introduced in the last year.

PTEN (Professional Tool & Equipment News) magazine recently announced that ALLDATA, an AutoZone company, has won two 2018 PTEN Innovation Awards; one for ALLDATA Diagnostics in the Scan Tools category, and one for ALLDATA Collision Advantage in the Computers and Software category.

According to the announcement, the PTEN Innovation Awards recognize the most innovative products introduced in the last year. Evaluated by a panel of judges consisting of technicians and shop owners, the winners are selected for their ability to make vehicle diagnosis and repair easier and more efficient, and to make shops more productive. The publication received a total of 142 product nominations. The top products in 27 categories were recognized.

“We are very proud to be honored with these awards. Innovation is the core of our legacy, and it drives our vision to be the leading data-driven solutions provider in the industry,” said Satwinder Mangat, President of ALLDATA. “By tackling the challenges our customers face day-in and day-out, our teams are inspired to deliver innovative solutions like ALLDATA Collision Advantage and ALLDATA Diagnostics.”

The honors continued at NACE Automechanika Atlanta, where attendees voted ALLDATA Diagnostics the 2018 Innovation Zone Winner in the Repair & Maintenance category.

At last year’s SEMA, ALLDATA Collision Advantage was also awarded first place in the New Products Showcase, Collision Repair and Refinish category.

About the award-winning products:

  • ALLDATA Collision Advantage analyzes estimates to make sure they’re OEM-accurate with thorough documentation, which gives technicians the back-up they need to charge for necessary repairs. And it works with all three major estimating systems, delivering OEM Alerts, Vital Repairs, and Manufacturer Positioning Statements, all on one screen.
  • ALLDATA Diagnostics turns a tablet into a professional-level scan tool, the only one with ALLDATA built in. Shops get unlimited pre- and post-scans, with no per-scan charge. There’s also no charge for software or data updates. There’s not even a charge for the equipment – it’s all included in one subscription. Shops can limit liability and increase revenue by using ALLDATA Diagnostics to conduct full-system, exportable pre- and post-repair scans.
