Epicor Software Corporation, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software to promote business growth, announced that the new Epicor PartExpert GFX electronic catalog interface is helping distributors accelerate parts lookups and drive sales growth. Available for PartExpert eCatalog users in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, the optional PartExpert GFX interface enhances traditional menu-driven lookup prompts with new, detailed system visualizations featuring embedded part intelligence.
“The GFX interface is helping drastically with finding parts for an entire project as opposed to just a single component,” said Anthony Swingley, information technology manager for Cost Less Auto Parts, Vancouver, Wash. “It just makes it so much easier to break (the job) down and show the customer what they’re looking for and what else they might need to replace. It’s definitely helping us with add-on sales and bigger sales tickets.”
Swingley added that the Cost Less Auto Parts counter staff is spending significantly less time performing online research — including visits to manufacturer websites — to help find the right parts for specific repairs. “Before GFX, we spent a lot of time on Google searches trying to find what we were looking for,” he said. “It’s much quicker now.”
Developed with extensive input from counter professionals, PartExpert GFX interface is also a perfect fit for a new generation of eCatalog users who are more comfortable with graphical tools similar to those found on their personal computers and mobile devices.
“As the company that ‘invented’ eCataloging for the aftermarket more than 30 years ago, Epicor developed this powerful new interface in part to help businesses attract and retain talented young counter professionals,” said Stephen Gannon, senior director, automotive, product management and product development, Epicor.
