A recent survey by Counterman magazine reveals that a majority of car parts professionals use an e-catalog with a paper catalog as backup.
The research, conducted beginning in December 2015 at Counterman.com, shows that 66 percent of the 306 counter pros who responded use an e-catalog “with a healthy dose of paper just to make sure.”
At 27 votes, just under 9 percent of respondents say they use only a paper catalog. Just over 25 percent (77 respondents) use an e-catalog exclusively.
