Introduction

We did a first look of the Custom Install Tech System (CITS) back in October of 2007 and found it to be an extremely useful product with tons of potential to revolutionize the way many custom installers handled their inventories. This time around we were fortunate enough to be able to give the system a full test-run with a complete Standard system which featured two weatherproof mil-spec roller cases, the Custom Order Application (COA) software, and over $2500 in resalable parts. To say we were a bit overwhelmed would be an understatement.

This definetly would have been a nice kit to have with me when I was out doing installs. I could only plan so far ahead, Most times I had not been to the job myself before hand so I wouldnt know what all i would need, and of course I did not have an entire stock of everything you can imagine with me. Lot of times Ive had to make runs to home depot or go back another day because of not having what I needed.
