The automotive aftermarket’s first web portal for directly importing auto parts from overseas suppliers is now live at www.inTelligentparts.com.
Based in New York City, inTelligentparts, Inc. is led by its founders, Joe Zucchero, CEO, a former executive with CARQUEST, and Frank Pagano, executive vice president and the former CEO of Coni-Seal.
“We are excited to introduce a new and unique concept to help distributors source parts from overseas suppliers,” explained Zucchero. “Our company serves as an adjunct to a distributors current procurement activities and a way for these independent businesses to ‘source the source’ at a greatly reduced cost.”
One of the key advantages of the new company is the ability for distributors to purchase products in less than container load quantities. Pagano says it is a way for small- to medium-size distributors to level the playing field against larger companies. In addition, buyers have free access to the international vendor database that inTelligentparts is putting together, as well as the benefits of the full service brokering expertise of the inTelligentparts team for a nominal fee of nine percent per transaction.
“For vendors, we give them a great opportunity to promote their company and the products they manufacture to thousands of buyers for a modest, 12-month investment of $750,” said Pagano.
inTelligentparts has automated a very complex process through its web portal that includes a convenient dashboard function. This allows users to see all their activities (orders, invoices, RFQs, etc.) in one place. inTelligentparts is in the process of building its vendor database and encourages prospective suppliers to register at the website and go through the process of uploading their information.
In addition to its headquarters office located at 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 1425, New York, NY 10170, inTelligentparts has a business development office located at Summit Executive Center, 13575 58th Street N, Suite 278, Clearwater, FL 33760-3721. To reach the main office phone 800-360-2664 or contact the business development office at 727-538-4117. The company also has offices in Shanghai, China and Chennai, India.
