On Aug. 7, Bowman's Auto Service Inc. of Flatwoods, Ky., opened a repair order on a 2011 Ford F-150 and utilized PartsTrader to source and order the required parts, making the 1 millionth repair job that has been supported by the PartsTrader system in the last 30 months.
"I've been working with PartsTrader for over a year now," said Doyle DeLawder, Bowman's parts manager. "This system makes it easier to send out quotes and receive responses. It really cuts down on my workflow."
Since the inital product launch, the PartsTrader team has worked through many product updates and enhancements, all driven by user feedback such as from Bowman's.
"Our 80-plus US-based associates have worked very hard for the last few years to get us to this point, and we're pleased that an ever-growing number of repairers across the country are turning to us for their parts sourcing needs," said Dale Sailor, PartsTrader's vice president of business development.
There are currently more than 7,500 collision repair businesses and 8,500 suppliers active on the PartsTrader system, utilizing the online marketplace to process more than $1 billion in parts orders annually.
"We're thrilled to be the 1 millionth parts job," said DeLawder.
Sailor contacted Bowman's to notify them of the milestone and purchased lunch for all of the shop's employees to commemorate the occassion.
