Audatex North America has announced a strategic partnership with APU Solutions, including a full product integration and distribution agreement. The multi-year agreement contains exclusive features and covers both the U.S. and Canadian markets.
Audatex will integrate APU’s real-time parts availability, quality rating, pricing and procurement, directly within the Audatex Estimating System. The solution will include a proprietary Audatex presentation interface and reporting integration that will be easier to use and will enable insurance and collision repair shop users and managers to map and improve performance against internal and industry benchmarks. The end-to-end solution is powered by industry-leading auto recycling technology from Hollander, a Solera Company. Users can search, select and report, in real time, on locally and regionally available salvage parts from directly within the estimating system.
The integrated solution will be commercially available in early 2010. (LB)
