ParallelGraphics DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. 5 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- ParallelGraphics, the proven leader in 3D "Visual Know-How" authoring software to global OEMs, today announced that Nipponia, a worldwide motorcycle and scooter manufacturer has purchased its Cortona3D RapidCatalog software. Nipponia recognise the benefits an easily created interactive online Spare Parts Catalog will bring to its worldwide dealer network, who will be able to manipulate scooter images on the Web to order the exact parts, and send a purchase order via a Web shopping cart. But in addition, the deployment of the software will standardize spares manufacturing and ensure that strict quality standards are adhered to and an audit trail of all parts improvements is maintained.

Cortona3DStandardization of spares' specifications and fast, foolproof parts selection and ordering is crucial to ensure longevity, worldwide user respect and the rapid growth of a global dealer network to achieve Nipponia's motto of "One World, One Brand."

"A year ago, we had an old system, an old parts book and no rules for coding, nomenclature or changes. These factors made manufacturing inefficient and it was obvious they would hamper globalization of Nipponia products," said Alexandros Zountas, CIO, Nipponia Athens. "Our new models have totally new looks, performance and value. So the business package we show and provide dealers with must have equally impressive functions. RapidCatalog does everything we wanted, from helping us design and standardize new parts manufacturing, to smoothing distribution, to showing dealers we are truly serious about long-term, top-notch support."

Nipponia's factory sends them JT files from CAD which Cortona3D RapidCatalog imports. The output establishes the required consistent global framework on the parts source material so subsequent design, manufacturing, processes, and of course electronic literature can be streamlined and universally consistent.

"It's a very, very simple procedure. To prove the point, although we have had very little time to prepare marketing material for the EICMA show, we were able to publish our initial catalog in time to show it and make a video demonstrating its capabilities. (See: cortona3d.com/video/video_player.php?video=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cortona3d.com%2Fdownloads%2FNipponia.flv). We'll show it continuously because we know dealers will notice the benefits. Many other companies in this niche don't serve their dealers or aftermarket very well, said Alexandros Zountas, CIO, Nipponia Athens.

"We are delighted that Nipponia are so enthusiastic about the benefits that Cortona3D RapidCatalog will bring to their organization, their dealer network and their end users," said Connell Gallagher, President, ParallelGraphics. "Our tools enable an on-screen, true-to-life, three-dimensional animation of any Nipponia scooter.

"Cortona3D is now an essential part and partner of our business plan," says Zountas. "We expect to recycle our RapidCatalog information into RapidManual for a fully automated instruction manual compliant with modern teaching standards. This partnership is just beginning."
