LAS VEGAS, Oct.18, 2013—CCC Information Services announced Friday an upgrade to its CCC One Repair Workflow that will include electronic parts invoicing functionality for the first time.
In a statement, the company said the new function “ushers in a new era of part automation,” making it possible for parts suppliers and repairers to send and receive parts invoices through CCC’s shop management solution. It provides repairers with a paperless option for the their parts procurement and invoicing processes.
The announcement follows the company’s recent launch of the CCC True Parts Network, a parts-focused initiative to connect auto parts suppliers with CCC’s expansive customer base of repairers.
“Providing a single connection between auto parts suppliers and repairers was the first step in CCC’s commitment to deliver a comprehensive solution to drive more efficiency into the parts selection and procurement process,” said David Boden, vice president of CCC Parts Services Group. “[Friday’s] announcement addresses a key issue that many repairers spend considerable time on—manual invoicing and reconciling parts orders against receipts. With the electronic parts invoicing functionality, repairers can easily manage orders, deliveries, costs and parts supplier discounts, and parts suppliers are able to present an easier way for repairers to select and purchase their parts.”
The electronic parts invoicing functionality is being rolled out to repairers in waves through November 2013 and will initially be available to those who order Keystone Aftermarket Parts via CCC ONE Repair Workflow. The invoicing functionality will be extended to other parts suppliers that participate in the CCC TRUE Parts Network.
