For the attention of: THE DEALER PRINCIPAL & PARTS MANAGER

The need to reduce, or even eliminate, obsolete parts stock continues to be high on the list of priorities for dealer management. The following article appeared recently in AM, the UK weekly motor trade magazine. Discussing the use of the web in this operation, we were glad to see that Partspool got a mention!

What's under Development?

Gateway Version

Work has started on this version and it is hoped that a more detailed specification will be available over the next few weeks. As can be seen it is mainly aimed at dealer groups, car clubs and any association of independent car repair organisations who wish to offer a centralised parts clearing system. This proposed version will be accessed via a a specific URL “gateway”. For example:

xyz-dealer-group.partspool.com
or
xyz-car-club.partspool.com

and will take the user to a specific welcome page. This page will include an option to select whether to view just those parts belonging to other members of the Dealer Group or Car Club or all parts on the Partspool Database.
The system will also include an RSS Newsfeed displaying all parts added, or sought, by Group/Club members during a specific period .The aim of the new version is to enable Groups and Car Clubs to offer a specia l"parts intranet" to its members.
If you would like more information about this proposed system please let us know.

New User Manual

Yes, just like everyone else, it is a constant struggle just to think about updating the User Manual!
The problem, of course, is that we would much rather put all our development efforts into adding new features to the system. However we have finally put someone on the job!
So if there is anything that the existing manual doesn't explain as clearly as you would like, please let us know and we will do our best to make sure we address the problem.
And if there is a feature that the existing system does not include which you think should be added, just let us know and we will have a look. No promises mind!

What is PARTSPOOL?

The PARTSPOOL INTERNATIONAL VEHICLE PARTS LOCATOR is a system designed specifically to help the motor trader. We provide the facility to both find vital parts AND enable you to tell the world about that old stock which you would otherwise be ready to throw away.

The PARTSPOOL system allows Automotive Dealers, or anyone, anywhere in the world to locate critical parts. The system is multi-manufacturer and is FREE to use by anyone looking for essential parts to get a vehicle back on the road. PARTPOOL is the information provider; once the part has been located all further contact is between the buyer and the seller. PARTSPOOL plays no further part in the transaction. We do NOT stock vehicle parts, we do NOT sell vehicle parts and we do NOT buy vehicle parts.

Dealers are encouraged to load their full parts list since this will promote the sales of both current 'difficult to procure parts' and old 'non-moving' parts. Perhaps a dealer in the Third World or a 'vintage' car specialist would like to buy your complete inventory of redundant parts which are currently cluttering up your parts department!
Why use PARTSPOOL?

Do you have a VOR waiting for an obsolete, NLA or vital part on long back order?

Is the cost of an insurance claim escalating while you search for that difficult to find part?

Do you have old stock cluttering up your parts department?
You may have little call for it, but someone, somewhere is probably searching frantically for it!

DON’T BIN IT! SELL IT!

The system can help in locating a temporary 'out of stock' part as well as finding buyers for those old and obsolete parts which you still have in your inventory.

Is a portion of your normal business the supply of parts to the trade? If so, why not use partspool.com as part of your normal advertising programme.
