Infomedia's site says Microcat began in 1987 when a Sydney parts interpreter, Wayne Sinclair, taught himself programming at his kitchen table. He built a prototype electronic parts catalogue after seeing mistakes with microfiche codes.
In 1990 he teamed up with Infomedia to take it worldwide.
The company says Microcat EPC gives VIN-specific data, illustrations and service information. Ford, Toyota and Kia dealers are named as users.
