We’ve been humming right along on our data audit. As of about noon our time we’re 62.5% done. We got a lot of the heavy lifting (and the most popular makes) out of the way early so the rest should go pretty quickly.

Here is the latest:

Looks like Mitsubishi and Subaru both have their new Turbo AWDs on the test track.

The New Evo X and WRX STI will both be a nice shot in the arm for our industry, and you can be sure RPMWare will have the latest and greatest parts up and available before these two even hit the showroom floor.

Beginning July 7, 2007 join us each week for an informal live support webcast. We’ll do product demonstrations, walk thru features, show off whatever we’re working on and answer any questions. We’ll also discuss online marketing and the best ways to get your business noticed online.

Important Information Location: https://connect.acrobat.com/rpmtour Time: Every Thursday 11:00 AM until Noon EST (Come any time, you don’t have to come on time or stay the whole time.)

Once you connect to the url above you will be asked to call in to a 800 number to get the audio of the webcast. Come prepared with lots of questions.

EDIT: All future live support webcasts will be held at 1PM EST to accommodate those on the West Coast.

This week should be jam packed. We have our latest release coming out as well as a full data audit.

We’ve been talking about a data audit for some time now, but what is it?

Every item in RPMWare is linked to a specific vehicle. There are about 60,000 items, 140,000 fitments and 46,000 vehicles in RPMWare. There are also about 1.5-2M “links” connecting all those items to all those vehicles. Managing that becomes quite a feat and over the past 6-9 months we’ve made a few mistakes. The data audit is meant to fix those mistakes by going over all those links with a fine tooth comb.

We’re able to do most of this automatically, but some items require a human touch. For these we are stepping thru one-by-one to ensure everything is as close to 100% accurate as possible. Here’s our progress so far:

1 [x] ACURA2 [x] HONDA3 [x] INFINITI4 [x] MAZDA5 [x] MITSUBISHI6 [x] NISSAN7 [x] SCION8 [ ] SUBARU9 [x] TOYOTA10 [x] ALFA ROMEO11 [x] AM GENERAL12 [ ] AUDI13 [ ] BMW14 [ ] BUICK15 [x] CADILLAC16 [ ] CHEVROLET17 [ ] CHRYSLER18 [x] DAEWOO19 [x] DAIHATSU20 [ ] DODGE21 [x] EAGLE22 [x] FERRARI23 [ ] FORD24 [x] GENERAL MOTORS25 [x] GEO26 [ ] GMC27 [x] HUMMER28 [x] HYUNDAI29 [x] ISUZU30 [x] JAGUAR31 [ ] JEEP32 [x] KIA33 [x] LAMBORGHINI34 [x] LAND ROVER35 [ ] LEXUS36 [x] LINCOLN37 [x] LOTUS38 [x] MASERATI39 [x] MAYBACH40 [ ] MERCEDES-BENZ41 [ ] MERCURY42 [x] MERKUR43 [x] MG44 [x] MINI45 [ ] OLDSMOBILE46 [ ] PLYMOUTH47 [ ] PONTIAC48 [ ] PORSCHE49 [x] ROVER50 [ ] SAAB51 [x] SALEEN52 [ ] SATURN53 [ ] SUZUKI54 [x] UNIVERSAL55 [ ] VOLKSWAGEN56 [ ] VOLVO

We expect to be completely done with our audit and new release this week. Stay tuned.

Hope you all had a great 4th of July. We’re all back to work today.
