WORKSHOP CD

Workshop CD is Vivid's main information product. It can be used as stand alone client/server database application or in a network for 4 concurrent users. You can see it as an efficient and user friendly gateway to the Vivid automotive database. It is distributed on CD and sold in subscription. It is the best information system in the European market.

Workshop CD is a database application. So it can easily be linked to or integrated with other databases. If you are a parts distributor, we can link your ordering system to Workshop CD. The end user gets one integrated system that will meet all his requirements. Interested? See: Linking with your data

It is more than just an electronic book
WorkshopCD is an automotive technical database in the marketplace. Other applications are so called electronic books, not capable of WorkshopCD's sophisticated linking capabilities. And electronic books lack the intuitive clean interface of WorkshopCD.

It is packed with content and features
It would take more than 10.000 pages to print the content of WorkshopCD. That is a lot of information and it is all a few mouse clicks away. And there are valuable options for even more practical and essential data, if you run a garage. What you will find:
How to identify a car
Location of identification plates
Complete and original service schedules for all intervals
Lubricants and fluids
Adjustment data
Timing belt renewal
Environmental standards
Thousands of technical drawings
Complete and standardised Engine Management information
Interactive fault search
Engine overhaul data (FID)
Complete repair times (option)
Complete car parts ordering system (option)
Wiring diagrams for comfort electronics (in colour) (option)
Wiring diagrams for airconditioning systems
Free Demo

Your business needs . If you are in the automotive businees there is a free demo CD waiting for you. It will allow you to access the data for a limited period of 30 days. In the demo version the print function is disabled. Contact us now or contact one of our distributors in your country. They will be happy to send you a demo CD.

Licence system

The licence to use WorkshopCD is sold in subscription. The minimum subscription period is one year. The subscription period starts when a licence is issued by the distributor. If you do not like subscriptions you can buy an unlimited version of WorkshopCD. You can use it as long as you like, but you won't get updates.
