A replacement for Parts Consumption Lists Free, PC-based application used to assist Caterpillar dealers in identifying and managing parts used to service Caterpillar machines or engines. Uses data from SIS WEB, Repair Option Builder and dealer business systems (e.g. DBS/DBSi) - enabling users to
import/export parts information, obtain parts attribute information from various DBS systems, filter parts information based on several criteria and generate several Excel reports.
