This report, while by no means comprehensive, is intended to act as an early benchmark in PartsTrader's ongoing communication efforts with repairers and other industry stakeholders. As PartsTrader continues to track efficiency data, it will look to disclose more information on the effects of PartsTrader.
"Our commitment to transparency, continuous process improvement and advancing our relationships with repairers is at the heart of this study and our organization as a whole," said Rob Cooper, PartsTrader chief executive officer. "We look forward to expanding on this baseline of information disclosure as we continue to track and improve our product in the collision repair marketplace."
The PartsTrader system was built to meet the specific needs of the collision replacement parts market, has been tested and guided by input from repairers and suppliers, and is being refined continuously to ensure it runs smoothly, Cooper said. It is designed for integration with estimatics software using CIECA industry standards for integration. PartsTrader is working with all industry stakeholders to use the more secure BMS standard to the maximum extent possible.
