Every PartsTrader request, quoted from your inventory. Automatically.
SmartQuoter signs in to PartsTrader as your yard and answers each quote request with the matching parts on your shelf, at your prices, around the clock. The shop gets a quote while it is still deciding. You get the order without anyone at the counter typing it.
Collision shops send quote requests all day, and most go to whoever answers first. A request that waits for the counter is a request someone else quoted.
A quoter that never steps away from the desk
From request to order without touching the keyboard
- 1A shop asksA collision shop posts a quote request to PartsTrader for the parts on its estimate, like it does today.
- 2SmartQuoter looks it upIt matches each requested part against your inventory by interchange and reads your price.
- 3The quote goes outEvery line you can supply is quoted on PartsTrader under your yard’s name, within moments of the request.
- 4You see the orderWon orders land on your SmartQuoter dashboard and in your monthly report. The counter pulls the part and ships it.
PartsTrader by hand, and PartsTrader with SmartQuoter
Same shops, same requests. The difference is whether a quote goes out while the shop is still looking.
| Task | By hand | With SmartQuoter |
|---|---|---|
| Seeing the request | Someone checks PartsTrader between phone calls | Picked up the moment it posts |
| Finding the part | Look it up in the IMS, line by line | Matched by interchange from your inventory |
| The price | Whatever the counter remembers or looks up | The price in your inventory system, every time |
| After hours | Waits until morning. The shop does not. | Quoted at 7 PM like it is 10 AM |
| The odd request | Guessed at, or skipped | Held in a review queue for a person to decide |
| Knowing what it earned | A feeling | A dashboard, and a monthly sales report in your inbox |
Every shop you quote, on one page
