Cody, WY, October 26, 2015 – The Overstock Parts Network (OPN), positioning itself as a new industry leader for parts purchases, today announced that the company has doubled its warehouse size to keep up with increasing dealer membership and customer demand. Once touted as the ‘match.com’ for parts, this innovative way to buy and sell inventory has proven to be a run away success, and dealerships nationwide are reaping the benefits. The OPN currently has over 900 active members who are not only making money by selling obsolete parts at risk of write-off, but also purchasing needed OEM parts at rock bottom prices, typically 20% or more below wholesale. Currently there are nearly 8,000 parts staged to sell to members at our newer, bigger California warehouse.
“Marco saves anywhere from 18-30% off of new OEM parts from OPN which equates to thousands of dollars of savings every month! We also sell a lot of obsolete inventory to OPN, keeping parts and supplies out of landfills while making money on items we would typically write off and dispose of.” Said Christy Wells, Purchasing Manager at Marco.
“We are in the business of saving dealerships money and to see the success and positive feedback from dealers participating in the OPN is phenomenal. We strongly encourage dealerships to join because as the network grows so do the opportunities for savings.” Said Bud Karakey, VP of Operations for BEI Services.
Participation in the OPN and access to AIM (Advanced Inventory Management) reporting is absolutely free of charge. AIM provides a number of beneficial reporting tools to help identify inventory that is becoming or has become obsolete, compare part yields against national averages and better understand under stocked items saving dealerships thousands of dollars in shipping. Other essential reports are also available to help dealers reduce part cost and improve service performance.
