"Our core application is now very different from when we started over two years ago," said Rob Cooper, PartsTrader CEO. "We are committed to giving repairers and suppliers a product of choice by continuing to adapt it to their changing needs. Earlier this year we introduced the industry's first system for tracking two-way repairer and supplier performance feedback. For example, repairers now have the ability to rate suppliers based on service and quality of the parts delivered. This ensures that each party can make a fully informed business decision before placing or responding to an order. Most recently, we've enhanced vehicle mapping capabilities and improved integration with the estimating systems, and have many more exciting features on the near term horizon."
Driven by customer feedback and the increasing industry adoption rate, PartsTrader is available to all repairers and suppliers across the country, regardless of any Direct Repair Program (DRP) affiliation. Everyone can now benefit from the industry's most robust and customizable parts procurement system. Repairers interested in utilizing PartsTrader for efficient procurement can register their interest on the PartsTrader website and be up-and-running in the same business day, if desired. Suppliers who are interested in reaching parts buyers through the PartsTrader marketplace must be nominated by a participating collision repairer within the application. Once nominated, these suppliers can be up and running on a same day basis as well.
"We're excited about transitioning into the next phase of service for our current and future customers,"said Sailer. "One of the things we've been pleased to see is the growing number of repairers who have achieved process improvements and are now using our system for all their parts procurement needs, not just those related to a specific insurance company."
