provided to service dealers to help grow their businesses

• To align ourselves with the service industry and further develop industry programs

through technologies and create mutual incremental revenue streams

company provides

• Intergrading with non-competitive third party IT companies and accessing their

customer base

• Carving out niche market opportunities through relationships and extensive

knowledge of the Automotive Industry

The Dealer – Auto Shop Owner

The auto service center, dealership that provides specialty

automotive services

• Franchise, Dealer Groups and Independent Service Centers, etc.

• Independently owned and operated shop such as “John’s Auto Repair”

• Specialty Service Shops, such as window tinting, car electronics, etc.

• Collision Paint and Body Service Shops

• Car Dealerships – New & Used Service Centers

The Customer

The person who wants to buy auto parts and/or services

• Purchase online and have it shipped to their house

• Purchase online and have it shipped to an auto repair shop near them for installation

(“shipped to the dealer”)

• Purchase products at the service dealer and have installed at the dealer

• Purchase at the dealer, pick up later or have it delivered to their home

• Schedule an appointment for an automotive service online or in the repair shop

The APN Program

• The Problem: Disconnect between the online world and brick and

mortar world resulting in:

– Lack of an automated solution to have parts installed by professionals

– Lack of communication between online users and dealers

– Loss service dealers sales due to not being able to offer products locally that are

in the online catalog

• The Solution: Offer services that allow online consumers and brick

and mortar stores to communicate seamlessly and connect with one

another.
