ICP and CPI are the importer and distributor of choice for foreign and domestic auto parts. They stock many hard to find European OEM parts along with a wide selection of Asian and domestic under-car parts in their 22 warehouse locations throughout the North East. Their focus on customer satisfaction means that they not only honor the manufacturer's warranty, they also back that up with their own limited warranty. Their objectives are to provide their customers with the right parts and reliable on time delivery each and every time a customer places an order. They've built a team of over 60 professional salespeople, trained to provide their customers with the answers and service they want and need. ICP and CPI deliver their customers parts with their own fleet of trucks to expedite delivery and ensure accuracy.

“This was not a quick decision, we chose Fuse5 after reviewing every other system we could find.  All of the systems presented current technology but Fuse5 was the only system that proved that they were more than a revised front end with the same limitations we have endured for the last 30 years.” says Tom Taylor, Controller of ICP.  “I was concerned that the claims of Fuse5 would end up being the same as every previous sales pitch.  We are now deep into the transition and can already see that this change is going to help us in every aspect of our business.” 

Fuse5 continues to improve so it can meet the demand for solutions that will make independent businesses technologically relevant in an increasingly competitive environment.  

“We are excited to have ICP and CPI join the Fuse5 family,” said John Bunting, COO of Fuse5.  “As with all of our customers, they have unique challenges and Fuse5 is built on a platform that allows its customers to meet those specific needs.  That's the reason that Fuse5 continues to get better with every new customer.” 

Fuse5 was built from the ground up using cloud technology, just like Google and Amazon. By collaborating with auto parts businesses they learned to create a system in which you can easily control sell price, inventory levels, streamline your POS, connect to other systems, automate reporting, purchasing, store transfers, and much more. Fuse5 is the smartest way to add tools to your business without adding cost. Ask any Fuse 5 customer and they'll tell you why they LOVE Fuse5.

“Having made several system changes in the past I wanted to make sure that this change would be my last.” said K. (Yaz) Yazdanseta COO of ICP / CPI.  “As a team we spent more than 3 years looking for a solution that could handle a business of our size.  Now that we are 6 months into the process we are more confident than ever that we made the best choice for the future of our company.  Things continue to get more complex, and running the same systems that were out there when we started over 30 years ago doesn't make sense.”

Fuse5 is a complete Business Management System and Enterprise Resource Planning tool.  Fuse5 allows customers to vastly improve their inventory efficiency, forecasting, price-points, sales strategies, and more, all adding to increased profitability.     

“Fuse5 was built on the concept of combining all aspects of the Automotive Aftermarket from Garage to Manufacturers and all businesses in between.  This is not possible with the limitations of legacy hardware.” said Gabe Davis, CEO of Fuse5.  “With Fuse5, you have it all right at your fingertips, from any device that has access to the internet. We continue to strive to offer the best most seamless business management platform possible for our customers, their customers and their suppliers.”
