Parts eCommerce
|
|
|
|
Software Experts .NET has developed a sophisticated, web based, "Parts
eCommerce" solution for parts distributors and their respective dealership
networks. This "Parts eCommerce" web solution is a system which can be branded
and used in virtually any industry that involves the sale of parts (replacement
parts, accessory parts, etc.). These industries include automotive,
marine, motorcycle, appliance, etc. |
|
|
|
Currently, Software Experts .NET has a partnership agreement with
Intercity Services to support the automotive part industry. This
web application solution is licensed to Intercity Services and is branded under
the name "Athena Parts". The licensing of this software
allows Intercity Services to support multiple part catalogs for every
automotive make. Intercity Services then offers these catalogs to its
dealership network thru the store front & secure checkout components (all
included as part of this web application solution).
Intercity Services has a dealership network that spans the United States.
Intercity Services, acting as the parts distributor/warehouse, pre-populates
various parts catalogs through the back office component of this web
application solution. These catalogs can then be assigned to select
dealerships (like a subscription model) for use in their respective eCommerce
store front. Individual dealerships also utilize the back office
component to manage online orders, extend part catalogs with their own custom
parts (if required), update 'feature' parts lists, etc.
