Parts.com Adds Parts Locator Tied to Dealer Management Systems to Redesigned Website
SANFORD, Fla., -- Parts.com, Inc., a marketplace and software solutions provider for the automotive parts industry, has announced the release of version 3.4 of its TradeMotion software, including Phase I of Direct2DMS.
The release of TradeMotion 3.4 unveils TradeMotion Direct2DMS, which allows users to link directly to dealerships' ADP and Reynolds & Reynolds management systems to locate parts. TradeMotion Direct2DMS allows dealership parts managers to search and retrieve the most accurate dealer parts inventory information while completing the dealer-to-dealer transaction using the TradeMotion OCTANE system. Parts.com wants to eliminate the need for inventory CD-ROMs that are typically 45 days old, "E-Mail Parts Request Forms" that may or may not be read, and voice systems that require dealers to jump through many selections without transacting the order or verifying its availability.
"We are excited to be offering our dealerships across the country a product that is integrated into parts.com's existing back-end system and pulls information from the Dealer Management Systems," stated Shawn Lucas, President and Co-CEO of parts.com.
Parts.com's release of TradeMotion 3.4 includes an Aftermarket Accessories Section. Parts.com plans to further expand this section to aftermarket parts for its dealer partners to procure when a vehicle's warranty has expired, thus increasing the back-end margins for dealers who are looking for quality parts and lower pricing.
