SHIFTMobility's Apps Enable Auto Parts Distributors To Sell

SHIFTMobility Inc., provider of the industry’s only all-in-one automotive platform, has announced the addition of WORLDPAC, AutoZone and Performance Radiator parts to its service network, offering hundreds of repair shops across North America the ability to quickly find and buy parts. Leveraging SHIFTMobility’s Perfect Fit solution consisting of VIN and license plate scanners, telematics and top aftermarket brands, repair shops can now easily locate available parts from their nearest warehouses and order from within the estimate flow on any device, the company says.

For repair shops, this integration eliminates the need to visit external websites or spend time waiting on the phone with distributors. And, with ShopLite’s unique mobile capabilities, all of this functionality is available at their fingertips anytime, anywhere.

“As creators of the only comprehensive mobile shop management, part management and repair solution for repair shops, we are excited to deliver the next evolution of parts ordering leveraging telematics for top aftermarket brands,” said Arvind Jain, president of SHIFTMobility. “We welcome our newest distributors to our network. This union gives technicians and service advisers who use ShopLite instant access to parts from the leading distributors of automotive replacement parts and accessories in the United States, and demonstrates SHIFTMobility’s commitment to offering powerful, future-proof technology solutions for the automotive aftermarket.”
