During the program, Epicor ISE software users earned one free entry automatically every time they created and completed an order through the innovative, web-based mechanical service estimating solution. Two winners were named each month, receiving either an Innova 5160 CarScan PRO tool (First-Place Prize) or an Innova 5100 CarScan ABS/SRS tool (Second-Place Prize).
