Upon implementation of OEConnection technologies, GM de Mexico dealerships will have access to tools that will enable them to easily locate, buy, sell and market parts within their dealer network. What’s more, an automated backorder referral tool will be available to help dealers extend their sales reach for in-demand parts or reduce their backorder fill rates to within 24 hours.
“We are pleased that GM de Mexico has chosen OEConnection to transform their parts supply chain into a collaborative supply network,” says OEConnection President & CEO Chuck Rotuno. “We welcome the opportunity to help dealers throughout Mexico improve efficiencies and grow their parts businesses. This agreement extends our international footprint and, more importantly, solidifies our relationship with General Motors, with whom we are committed to improving Genuine GM replacement parts sales and brand awareness. ”
Bill Henrie, Controller CCA at GM de Mexico says, “In the U.S. and Canada, GM dealers have experienced significant efficiencies and parts revenue growth as a result of OEConnection’s parts e-commerce solutions. With network-wide parts visibility and streamlined processes for dealer-to-dealer parts locating and referral in place, GM de Mexico dealers will be in a better position to serve their customers’ parts needs with greater speed and accuracy.”
