Shoppers will be able to browse paint colors alongside more than two million products in furniture, décor and bedding.

“We are continually focused on creat-
ing innovative ways to help people shop

vice president and general manager of
Wayfair.com. “Our new color integration
with Sherwin-Williams will assist our
customers in making confident product

selection of home furnishings and dé-
cor. Whether matching new bedding to
bedroom walls or pairing accent pillows
with a new sofa, customers will now be
able to find color inspiration and ideas

products.”
“Wayfair is a terrific partner for a
collaboration that includes the integra-
tion of our color technology throughout

home furnishings and décor on Wayfair.
com, we know that Wayfair customers
are also making decisions and seeking
inspiration related to painting and wall
color. It makes perfect sense to integrate

PPG Launches Redesigned
Website for ADJUSTRITE
System

The commercial coatings group of PPG Industries has launched a redesigned website for the ADJUSTRITE Commercial Estimating System at www. adjustrite.com. The site went live in early November and features a refreshed look, user-friendly navigation and a wealth of new information about the AdjustRite and AdjustRite Plus collision repair estimating systems. The website focuses on the two applications and details and compares their individual features and benefits.

The AdjustRite and AdjustRite Plus systems are specifically designed for the commercial truck market and have been updated to coincide with the launch of the website.

“The new website makes AdjustRite
easier than ever to use,” said John Lewis,
manager of programs and services for
PPG’s commercial coatings group. “The
database has been expanded, a variety
of estimate solutions are available, and
visitors can even sign up for a free trial to
see which program best fits their require-
ments. We’re confident that our current
customers will appreciate the site and
system enhancements, and I think those
just learning about AdjustRite will also
be pleased.”
While the AdjustRite system is updat-
ed regularly, enhancements introduced on
the website include:
• an online alternative parts solution
with list prices for a variety of truck
makes, models and parts;

• a generic light-duty pickup truck da-
tabase; and
•a combined pricing solution that
first checks for facility pricing, then
checks for available global average
pricing.

The website also provides information regarding AdjustRite system requirements, presents a comprehensive list of relevant frequently-asked questions and debuts a dedicated “What’s New” section.

The AdjustRite system is a logic-based estimating platform that uses actual truck model information, based on a sophisticated database compiled from truck parts and repairs, for consistent repair estimate accuracy. The AdjustRite Plus system, which is particularly suitable for insurance companies and claims adjusters, additionally offers a claims management component—it is the first and only full-service application that takes into consideration the complete commercial truck claim process. The automated features of the AdjustRite and AdjustRite Plus systems dramatically reduce the time required to write an error-free professional repair estimate, virtually eliminating the chance of miscalculation while improving overall cycle time and productivity.
