PartsCheck: A fast-growing automotive parts sourcing software company.

PartsCheck?innovation is changing parts management for good as repair industry clients ditch clunky admin and time-wasting?processes.?

If you’ve been in the collision industry for a while, there’s an excellent chance you’re familiar with the team at?PartsCheck. They’re the market leader in parts management and pricing software in Australia, used by thousands of repairers and suppliers from all over the country.?

PartsCheck?has a mission to empower repairers and suppliers to achieve sustainable, mutually beneficial?practices, and have been?accomplishing this through constant innovation and creating strong partnerships throughout the past decade.??

?Building?PartsCheck?from the ground up?

One of the best things about?PartsCheck?is its team, led by?co-founder and managing director,?David Taylor.?The?vast majority of?the group, including?Taylor, have a background in?collision?repair, so they understand the industry inside and out?-?the long hours, the low margins and, of course, the tricky business of sourcing parts.?

?Taylor?had his start as an apprentice spray painter, who progressed to purchasing four smash repairs workshops when he was in his early twenties.?Almost immediately,?he?planned?to eliminate the clunky administration side of the business by building software that seamlessly connected his suppliers to his workshops. This software streamlined the back and forth and price negotiations that held up his team and cut into his workshop profits.??

Once?Taylor?and?PartsCheck?co-founder Aaron Saunders developed the software, and the workshops began operating profitably,?they?knew?they?had a great product to distribute around Australia to support other repairers to grow their businesses.?So, from a team of two in a boardroom above one of his workshops,?Taylor?continued to scale the company to where they are?today: a team of 35 developers, designers, customer service staff,?marketers?and salespeople, operating out of two offices in Brisbane.??

?Where are they now??

PartsCheck?focuses on helping?repairers and suppliers streamline and simplify the process of sourcing spare parts, and several estimating software companies have?since?realised?the benefits and potential that?the?PartsCheck?product offers,?which?in turn?has resulted in?many industry partnerships.??

Major dealerships and alternate parts suppliers also work closely with?PartsCheck, ensuring up-to-date Dealership Management Systems information.?The program allows repairers and suppliers to quote, order, receipt and manage credits?all in one?centralised?location.?

Taylor?aims?to continue building a company?that?has the best interests of repairers and suppliers, whilst being socially and environmentally conscious.?"We take pride in our?softwares' quality and?high-quality?customer support".?Their vision is to deliver innovative products and services that make their customers' lives better,?easier?and more profitable through increased functionality and simplicity.?

What’s next for?PartsCheck??

In the upcoming year,?PartsCheck?has some exciting innovations on the horizon, including a new product that will both support and reward repairers with incredible cost savings. In addition,?PartsCheck?will continue to enhance its supplier network and create even deeper connections in the supply chains and procurement —aiming to provide even better value for repairers.??

On the operational side,?PartsCheck?has been undergoing a significant transformation in the way their team works. As with most start-ups,?PartsCheck?maintained a relatively flat hierarchy for several years, with everyone reporting directly to David. For David to commit to the innovation side of the business, he needed to hire a person who could create a new structure with the space to allow his staff to grow and thrive.??

The newly appointed General Manager, Dan?Baldwin, joined the?PartsCheck?team this year. He has started putting together a long-term strategy where high-performance teams will deliver more impactful results and service to?PartsCheck?partners. The company has no plans of slowing down, with team expansion, new integration partners and exciting new product development on the horizon.??

PartsCheck?has delivered greater time efficiencies, streamlined parts?processing?and created greater transparency in the parts industry — not to mention its incredible impact on repairers’ bottom lines.
