SAN DIEGO – Audatex North America, Inc. has signed an agreement to finalize a multi-year product integration and distribution agreement with APU Solutions, Inc., a technology provider for the alternative parts-supply industries whose Web-based network provides nationwide parts availability, quality-rating, pricing and procurement.
The strategic relationship would provide end-users with an enhanced ability to search and purchase locally available, graded salvage parts directly within the Audatex Estimating system. Without leaving the Audatex Estimating system or rekeying data, users will be able to leverage APU technology to search, select and purchase alternate parts and include them on the Audatex estimate. The integrated solution leverages technology and relationships from Hollander, a Solera company.
The agreement covers various business activities conducted by the companies throughout the United States and Canada. Audatex and APU will align certain products and sales efforts that will deliver the marketplace leading integrated solutions.
Charles Lukens, CEO of APU Solutions, comments, “Audatex clearly shares our commitment to product innovation and customer needs. By integrating our technologies and jointly developing certain new technologies together we’ll deliver world-class estimatics and alternative part-procurement solutions that will reshape the industry.”
John Kotsopoulos, managing director of Audatex for North America, comments, “We have found a partner who shares our company’s values of customer focus and commitment to providing solutions that benefit all players in the collision repair process. Audatex and APU share a common goal of providing leading-edge solutions that help our customers streamline their workflows, improve productivity, and have a high impact from day one.“
