It\u2019s the late \u201980s\u2026<\/p>\n

Pi\u00e8ces d\u2019Autos Turcotte, an automobile recycler in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, Quebec, Canada is thinking of computerizing its business by acquiring a product that could help with sales, accounting, and inventory.<\/p>\n

The company looked at was available on the market and consulted fellow recyclers. Opinions were divided: it\u2019s expensive, it\u2019s not available in French, several desired features are unavailable, or don\u2019t fully meet the recycler\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

The people at P.\u00a0A.\u00a0Turcotte were fairly discouraged by their research, but they had an idea: \u201cWhat if we had our perfect software programmed by a computer company? We\u2019d be 100% satisfied with the result.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Looking<\/p>\n

P.A. Turcotte went ahead and hired a firm to program their Yard Management System (YMS) software, a specialized ERP for auto recyclers<\/a>. The news reached their business circle. Other recyclers in the industry were interested. Some said: \u201cIf your project works and you\u2019re open to selling it, I\u2019d love to have it for my business.\u201d <\/em>This was promising. However, a few months later, they received bad news. The computer firm they had hired was bought out by another company. The latter told P.\u00a0A.\u00a0Turcotte: \u201cYour project does not fit with our corporate vision; so, we\u2019re abandoning it. You can get the rights to the code already developed for $40,000.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

At P.\u00a0A.\u00a0Turcotte, they were sure of two things: they wanted the product and other recyclers were also interested. So, they founded ProgiPac, a second company, with a few associates and allies such as the software programmer Fran\u00e7ois Paprosky, who wanted to finish what he had started.<\/p>\n

In 1990, the Progi adventure began. In 1992, the software was ready, sales started, and many Quebec recyclers adopted the ProgiPac YMS.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Quebec recyclers have become very close to Progi.<\/p>\n

In 2021, ProgiPac became Progi<\/a>, and the company continues to work closely with recyclers, notably with ProgiParts, its extensive digital part marketplace<\/a>, ProgiPac, its YMS, and ProgiPix, its virtual auction for total loss vehicles<\/a>. In addition to its recycler customer base, Progi now operates on a national scale working with major Canadian insurers, thousands of collision shops and parts suppliers, and automotive manufacturers.<\/p>\n
