The heavy-duty truck aftermarket is a highly competitive and ever-evolving business environment that is especially challenging if you are an independent company focused on parts distribution and/or service and repair. In addition to coping with broad market influences such as inflation, supply chain uncertainty, and labor shortages, you also find yourself competing with well-established dealerships and large aftermarket conglomerates—all with more extensive resources and deeper pockets than yours. Complicating matters, these conditions are becoming more acute with industry consolidation.

Fortunately, even in the face of such pressures, you, as an independent player, can both effectively compete and thrive. Introducing your force multiplier: a fully integrated, comprehensive business system that is purpose-built for your industry.

AutoPower incorporates five elements to deliver a unique, total solution that fuels formidable growth:

1. Exclusive focus serving companies like yours: Since 1978, the AutoPower system has been deployed in independent heavy-duty aftermarket distribution and service companies across the country, many of which are family-owned. Some are small, others have branches in multiple states, but all face similar challenges. We nurture these close, cooperative relationships to secure a deep understanding of the organization’s needs, which enables our continuous improvement of the system’s capabilities and the quality of customer support.

2. Proven technology integrating every aspect of your business: The AutoPower system is an intuitive, end-to-end solution that can seamlessly integrate core operations of your business, including accounting, inventory management, sales management, warehouse management, service and remanufacturing.

While the system is highly sophisticated in its capabilities, it is remarkably simple to operate for all users.

3. Expertly managed hosting services:  The AutoPower system,  with all its features and capabilities, is largely managed for you by our skilled team. We’ll monitor your system 24×7 and automatically administer backups, patches and upgrades to your system’s applications. We can also deploy and manage a rich selection of complementary modules, such as email, web design and e-commerce, barcoding and shipping cost management, that can improve your productivity and profitability. Most importantly, we can apply and manage leading security technology to protect your business from viruses, ransomware, and other cyber threats.

4. First-class service and support: AutoPower’s five-point assurance program incorporates proprietary processes, personalized service, and sound technology practices, addressing everything from IT consulting, needs analysis and cost assurances, to expert system deployment and training, evergreen system upgrades, assured uptime, and rapid ticket escalation and resolution.
