Parts.com Releases New Parts.com at NADA
SANFORD, Fla., and NEW ORLEANS -- Parts.com, Inc. has announced the release of the "New Parts.com" which includes an additional 70,657 parts, equipment and supplies from 813 manufacturers at the National Automobile Dealers Association Convention in New Orleans.
The additional 70,657 parts, equipment and supplies cover 13 different categories from Tools, Painting & Cleaning, Electrical, Fluid Power, HVAC, Lighting, Material Handling, Metalworking & Shop Supplies, Motors & Power Transmissions, Outdoor Equipment, Pumps & Plumbing, Safety & Security and a large miscellaneous category, and offers free shipping in the continental United States.
"Parts.com is excited about this new release which accurately reflects the parts.com marketplace as a multi-vertical marketplace offering parts, equipment and supplies to both the retail and wholesale industry," stated Shawn D. Lucas, President and CEO of parts.com. "Dealers can now procure industrial supplies from our local distributors, sell mechanical and collision parts to their retail and wholesale customers and receive parts orders from the parts.com marketplace as well as our collision partners nationwide. No company, coalition or partnership can offer this comprehensive, complete and affordable solution."
Parts.com has also incorporated the parts, equipment and supply catalogs into its back office applications OCTANE and RAPTOR, to streamline the procurement process for dealerships and collision repair shops.
According to Mr. Lucas, parts, equipment and supplies listed in the company's online marketplace are up to 15 percent lower in price than at national retail stores, with bigger discounts to parts.com's wholesale members.
