Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global manufacturer of liquid and powder coatings, announced that its ProfitNetTM collision shop management system now interfaces with Overall Parts Solutions’ (OPS) OPSTRAX parts procurement system.

The new interface is an electronic bridge between ProfitNet and the OPSTRAX system that is designed to save hours of double entry. Ordering, receiving and price monitoring can all occur electronically between ProfitNet and part vendors via the OPSTRAX software.

“This latest parts procurement interface with OPSTRAX is another huge important step in providing cutting edge technology to our customers through our ProfitNet management system,” explained Tom McGarry, Axalta’s Manager of Information Technology Services. “The OPSTRAX interface allows ProfitNet users to quickly search for parts and choose a parts vendor based on price and availability.”

Axalta is dedicated to enhancing the customer experience. ProfitNet’s technology upgrade is designed to help lower shops’ administrative costs by minimizing redundant computer tasks and by providing a management solution that is affordable, easy to use, and communicates with a variety of software including parts procurement, rental car, paint, dealer management and accounting software.

“We are excited about the opportunity to team up with Axalta Coating Systems,” said Nick Bossinakis, OPS Chief Executive Officer. “With the industry rapidly changing each year, there is a need to streamline the parts procurement process and create efficiencies. This partnership allows us to achieve that goal and create value at the shop and parts supplier level.”
