Planet Salvage Changes Name to APU Solutions and Releases PartsNetwork 4.0

Planet Salvage, an automotive parts procurement and management solutions provider, will change its company name to APU Solutions. The name change reflects an expanded focus in the company’s overall business strategy as well as significant changes in the company’s solution offerings.

Through new strategic partnerships, APU Solutions now offers the ability to procure aftermarket parts, in addition to recycled parts, and the ability to compare pricing and features of different types of parts, including original equipment parts, through their unique product, PartsNetwork.

Another key component to the release of PartsNetwork 4.0 is complete documentation and reporting for every part searched on every claim. Insurance carriers, repair centers and parts suppliers will all gain greater visibility to each claim through expanded auditing and reporting capabilities offered by APU Solutions PartsNetwork.

“Our company has transformed significantly over the past four years in response to market needs. Our name change to APU Solutions reflects the product and strategy transformations that allow us to better serve the needs of insurance carriers, repair facilities and parts suppliers, said Charles Lukens, President and Chief Operating Officer for APU Solutions. “For example, our insurance customers needed a thorough auditing tool that could be customized for their specific business standards,” said Lukens, “hence we developed a customized solution that gives carriers online, real-time claim auditing capabilities that provide detailed information by DRP, claim, or part supplier.”

APU Solutions is an online procurement & management solutions provider, servicing the automotive parts and salvage vehicle industries.
