1. It is client / server technologyWorkshop 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 the best information system in the European market.
2. It is a real database
Workshop 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. The end user gets one integrated system that will meet all his requirements. Interested? See: Linking with your data
3. It is more than just an electronic book
Workshop is an automotive technical database in the marketplace. Other applications are so called electronic books, not capable of Workshop’s sophisticated linking capabilities. And electronic books lack the intuitive clean interface of Workshop .
