Overall Parts Solutions (OPS), a provider of supply-chain management solutions to the auto collision industry, has announced a partnership with Ford Motor Co. Currently, OPS works with a large network of parts suppliers and collision shops including major MSOs.
OPS and Ford partnered to provide a solution for Ford/Lincoln dealers that includes parts ordering, conquesting and logistics. The OPS Technology Suite includes OPSTRAX, VALUTRAX, DELIVERYTRAX and TRAXPOD.
OPSTRAX allows collision shop customers to connect with their local dealership parts departments and electronically submit, view and track their collision parts orders, all through a centralized interface.
VALUTRAX provides dealership parts departments the opportunity to offer their customers OE parts at a more competitive price than non-OE parts through a conquest program. DELIVERYTRAX is an optional logistics tool that allows dealers to track all of their parts deliveries to their customers with real-time delivery information, tracking, driver accountability as well as route optimization. Finally, TRAXPOD provides collision shop customers with desktop notifications whenever parts are shipped and on-the-way to their location. The OPS Technology Suite is a “one-stop” shop for all collision centers and dealership parts departments.
