Jon Hedges, Principal at Hedges & Company will join Jon Sinclair, VP eCommerce for GCommerce in an online discussion of marketplaces and trends in selling automotive products online, Oct. 3 at 2 pm Eastern. This is the third in a series of informative webinars produced by GCommerce to provide actionable insights and education about the digital transformation of the aftermarket.

Jon Hedges truly “knows” the automotive and powersports industries. His career spans over 30 years with leadership roles at Summit Racing and other specialty retailers. Since 2004 he and his wife Julie have applied their deep domain expertise to automotive market research and digital marketing.

Jon Sinclair learned the basics of online retailing with ten years operating his own auto parts pure play etailer. As vice president of ecommerce for another automotive retailer he grew their e-commerce fulfillment business from zero to $100 million. In 2015 Jon started Orcas Consulting where he applied his operations and e-commerce strategy experience to develop shipping management and fulfillment software that is used today to process millions of orders annually for distribution.

Scott Luckett, VP Industry Strategy at GCommerce said, “with online commerce growing four times faster than the overall aftermarket, we believe it is vital for our customers and industry leaders to understand the major trends and developments involved in selling auto parts and accessories online. We are very excited to have Jon Hedges and Jon Sinclair contribute their vast experience to this educational event. This webinar series has given us an opportunity to learn from several e-commerce experts and discover new ways to succeed in the digital aftermarket.”

Earlier this year, GCommerce presented other webinars in the series; Amazon: Learn to Survive and Thrive, with Allen Adams, president of Navizon Consulting and eBay: Master the World’s Largest Automotive Marketplace with Jordon Hettinga, Senior Director and General Manager of eBay Motors. Both were extremely well-attended and the recordings are available on the Marketplace Selling page at https://www.gcommerceinc.com/our-services/marketplace-selling/ .
