We connect wholesale distributors with their suppliers of products for resale. Our goals are to provide the best information available in the auto care industry to our members and their system providers to help them sell more product. We reduce the cost of doing business between our members and suppliers by leveraging technology to automate and centralize services.

The Network’s team of content managers validate information from our suppliers, while assisting them with adopting auto care industry standards. They also provide suggested selling prices. The information they gather is available to members through PartShare and used to supplement content in NetIntell and WebShop. The recommended pricing they provide includes suggested list prices for service dealers and the base price used for quoting our National Account customers and to validate transactions in our central billing system.

Our team provides training and support, while managing ongoing system development. In addition to content we provide Software as a Service (SaaS). We develop and license software on behalf of our members–much more than an “endorsement” of third parties.
