A brief history of ISoft Data
Systems and HeavyTruckParts.Net...
May 1997
ISoft Data Systems installed
its first ITrack HT system at American Truck Parts in Douglas,
Georgia. Because the heavy truck inventory system is an
untapped market, ISoft hopes to become a leader in this
industry.
August 2000
Twenty industry leaders
attended ISoft Data System's first Heavy Truck Conference. The
conference, held at ISoft headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska,
was an opportunity for users to give input and learn about new
features added to the system.
October 2000
Responding to customer
input, ISoft Data Systems has introduced an integrated quote
system for ITrack MX, 5.01 and HT systems. Integrated quotes
will allow ITrack users to track quotes, eliminating disputes
on quote accuracy and time frame.
May 2001
ISoft Data Systems has
introduced Recyclers.Net. ISoft customers can upload their
inventory to the website, making their entire inventory
available online. Inventory is uploaded nightly so the site
more accurately depicts current part availability.
June 2001
ITrack HT users can now have
their inventory embedded on their website. By placing
inventory on their own websites, users can make their parts
available 24/7.
October 2001
ISoft Data Systems has
introduced the Mobile LX bar code scanner. The LX module
allows ITrack users to quickly enter or modify inventory from
the yard. The Mobile LX module increases accuracy and
proficiency. Mobile LX is available for ITrack MX, 5.01 and HT
systems.
May 2002
ISoft Data Systems has reached
an agreement with Car-Part.com allowing ISoft customers to
automatically upload their inventory to Car-Part.com
nightly.
May 2002
ISoft Data Systems has entered
uncharted territory with the introduction of
HeavyTruckParts.Net. ITrack HT customers can have their
inventory uploaded to the site, making it available to
thousands of potential customers. HeavyTruckParts.Net is the
only real-time truck parts locating service available. Parts
are refreshed daily. HeavyTruckParts.Net already has over $10
million of online inventory.
June 2002
ISoft Data Systems has
introduced its digital imaging module to HeavyTruckParts.Net
and Recyclers.Net. This feature will allow users to upload up
to four pictures for each part or vehicle. This is a free
service ISoft offers to help users sell parts.
August 2002
ISoft Data Systems
introduced the all-new ITrack AX auction software for
Berryhill Auctioneers. The first auction was successfully
completed in September at Plunk's Truck Parts & Equipment
in West Monroe, Louisiana. Over $2 million of parts were
sold.
January 2003
Beta testing was completed
for the QuickBooks integration module. The QuickBooks module
is now available for ITrack MX, 5.01 and HT systems.
QuickBooks is a more advanced accountant package that features
more in-depth reports.
Spring 2003
ISoft Data Systems has
launched a massive campaign for the all-new ITrack Pro
software. The new software will be a fast and seamless
program, eliminating many technical support issues. ISoft
president Matthew Wegener said ISoft plans on debuting the
completed software by Spring of 2004. ITrack Pro is different
than previous versions of ITrack software because the unique
modular flexibility allows car, truck and motorcycle inventory
on one system.
July 2003
ISoft Data Systems has sent
out the premier issue of their HeavyTruckParts.Net Magazine.
The magazine was distributed to over 15,000 heavy truck repair
facilities free of charge.
September 2003
ISoft Data Systems
hosted their second Heavy Truck Conference. At the the
conference the all-new ITrack Pro software was unveiled.
Additional focus points included the HeavyTruckParts.Net
website and magazine. ISoft technicians provided one-on-one
sessions for both existing and prospective clients.
October 2003
ISoft Data Systems was
voted into the International Truck Parts Association during
their annual meeting. ISoft is honored to be a member of this
great organization.
November 2003
Beta testing has begun
for ISoft Data System's new ITrack Pro software. ISoft
president Matthew Wegener said that ITrack Pro will be
available to the public by January 2004.
December 2003
Traffic on
HeavyTruckParts.Net has increased more than 10-fold since
July. HeavyTruckParts.Net now has more than $20 million worth
of parts on the site. Traffic on the site has increased from
4,688 hits in July to 21,522 in September. November was the
busiest month yet with over 90,000 hits. ISoft president
Matthew Wegener said HeavyTruckParts.Net will probably only
see a 10-20% increase in traffic in December because of the
holiday season.
January 2004
ISoft officially announces the release of ITrack Pro. Initial roll-out is planned to include key customers with entire upgrade process for all customers to happen over course of the year. Early customer response has been ecstatic with the new Customer List capabilities, easier single screen searching and results for both vehicles and parts, and vastly improved speed and ease of use.
June 2004
ISoft completes first ITrack Pro/ ITrack AX integration for the Geiger Truck Parts auction by Berryhill Auctioneers. ITrack Pro allowed ISoft customers Geiger Truck Parts and Rife Heavy Duty Truck Parts to transfer inventory electronically to Berryhill's ITrack AX system improving speed and accuracy for Berryhill to list and market auction inventory weeks prior to the sale.
December 2004
ITrack AX successfully completes 12th auction for Berryhill auctioneers. Says TC Berryhill, "ITrack has saved us an average of $10,000 per auction by helping us keep better track of auction inventory. Not to mention the hours we used to spend maintaining three seprate inventory, marketing, and sales programs." With over $20,000,000 in auction sales under its belt, ITrack AX continues to improve Berryhill's efficiency, customer service, and online presence.
January 2005
ISoft rolls out major updates to ITrack Pro including new Q&A customizable fields, an updated Quick-Enter parts entry screen, and an all new auto-updater that lets ITrack check for and download the the most recent updates automatically.
July 2005
ISoft hosts Platinum Users Group meeting at Kadinger Truck Parts. Over a dozen ITrack Pro HT users met and discussed future ITrack developments. ISoft announced development partnership with VanderHaag's, Inc. on new ITrack Enterprise. ITrack Enterprise will be the next step for ITrack into multi-location salvage facilities, rebuilders, service shops, and parts distributors. The Platinum Users Group got a very early glimpse at some of the new features that they will see in ITrack Enterprise. The new development project is expected to continue through 2007 before official release.
August 2005
ISoft Data Systems releases the all new ITrack AX Pro. Now based on the new ITrack Pro system and architecture, AX Pro now lets Berryhill Auctioneers connect and sell from anywhere in the world. Now with easier integration with ITrack Pro, Berryhill not only receives electronic inventory data - but customers' digital images as well. The new ITrack AX Pro performed commendably at the Geiger Truck Parts Auction.
January 2006
ISoft releases the first major update from the Enterprise Development Project. The new Transaction List screen makes advanced sales reporting a click away.
July 2006
ISoft announces major improvements to the QuickBooks Interface. New business intelligence helps the interface keep data syncronized between ITrack and QuickBooks.

January 2007
ISoft Data Systems announces the release of the newly redesigned HeavyTruckParts.Net search site. The new site features unlimited images, additional inventory details, faster searches, and a simpler single screen search site using advanced AJAX web programming. According to ISoft Web Developer Andrew Johnson, "The new site is easier to use, and the searches are lightning fast. Add to that the ability to search for multiple items without waiting for screen refreshes and we've entered a new generation of finding used, rebuilt, and re-manufactured truck parts."
April 2007
HeavyTruckParts.Net site surpasses 300,000 inventory item mark. Now with over $50 Million in on-line searchable inventory, HeavyTruckParts.Net is by far the largest up-to-date inventory of recycled truck parts. And with over 10,000 searches per month, it's also the best place to sell truck parts.
May 2007
ISoft hosts 2007 ITrack Platinum Users Group meeting at VanderHaags, Inc. facility in Spencer Iowa. The event included a steak fry, antique truck museum tour of John C. VanderHaag's personal collection of nearly 100 trucks, and a whirlwind demonstration of the latest ITrack Pro, HeavyTruckParts.Net, and ITrack Enterprise developments. According to Jeff Rife of Rife Heavy Duty, "The VanderHaags are just good people. They treat their people well, they are dedicated to their community, and they set the bar for the industry." Users came from across the country to attend the meeting. Said TC Berryhill of Berryhill Auctioneers, "You guys have been busy and are going in the right direction. We were just overwhelmed with the new developments. I'm looking forward to those updates coming to ITrack AX!"
