Similar to other industries, continued success in heavy-duty truck aftermarket parts and service will increasingly depend on the ability to compete in the digital economy. Adopting AutoPower software as the integrated business solution unlocks access to an array of powerful digital services and technologies designed to elevate sales performance and profitability in the connected marketplace:

1. AutoPower Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 

AutoPower’s scalable, fully integrated EDI module addresses the increasing demands of exchanging millions documents and information electronically between trading partners. EDI streamlines with speed and accuracy how information flows real time across the supply chain, helping to lower transaction costs, improve cash flow and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Additional benefits include:

• Fewer errors: EDI improves data consistency and streamlines communication, which reduces inaccuracies and discrepancies in business transactions. 
• Increased efficiency and cost savings: EDI reduces the time, resources and expenses spent manually processing orders and paperwork, and eliminates the need for paper documents. 
• Enhanced customer experience: EDI lessens the risk of missing or incorrect orders, which can result in heightened customer satisfaction. 

2. AutoPower Inventory Network (AIN)

Completely free, AIN allows users to build relationships with other AutoPower distributors locally, regionally or anywhere across the United States. It is like having direct connection to a redundant virtual inventory from multiple locations without incurring associated inventory cost.

AIN access enables users to: 

• Search for parts in real time across the network. 
• Become a seller or buyer of parts within the network. 
• Find parts nearby with a built-in auto-distance calculator. 
• Increase sales and customer satisfaction by fulfilling orders of out-of-stock items from the network.

AIN builds in supply chain resilience, part search flexibility and potential new revenues—all by networking with multiple, like-minded aftermarket distributors.

3. WebPower E-Commerce Website

Fully integrated into the AutoPower system, the WebPower Business-to-Business (B2B) and/or Business-to-Consumer (B2C) website product works in real time with inventory and customer configuration and pricing. Professionally hosted and managed, it offers a strong, consistent market presence that can improve business operations in multiple ways:

• Empowering customers to import stock orders directly through the site—to reduce labor costs and increase customer convenience.
• Automatically reflecting inventory updates from the AutoPower system, including quantities, pricing, alternates, supersedes, and descriptions. 
• Enhancing reliability and security—to maximize uptime through code updates and traffic fluctuations and assure protection from cyber threats.
