Packard Industries has been serving the antique car hobby enthusiast for over 50 years. Through their companies Rebuilders Choice, PST Suspension, and Kanter Auto Products, Packard provides parts for vehicles from the 1930s to the 1980s, specializing in both the usual and the unusual.
Operating their company on custom software, Dan Kanter, Vice President of Packard Industries, felt that it was time to consider moving to a modern technology platform. “It was nice having full control over the development of the business software,” said Dan. “We could theoretically design it to do exactly what we want. However, that can also be a burden keeping up with evolving technology as well as increasing business demands. We decided to take a look at our options.”
Dan and his team evaluated the top software solutions for the aftermarket and narrowed the list as they learned more about each of the solutions. “Autopart really rose to the top,” noted Dan. “It is built with current technology and has very strong functionality for auto parts distribution. We felt confident that it was the right solution for our business.”
Available as a traditional on-premise solution or hosted in the cloud, Autopart combines modern .NET technology with a SQL database for unparalleled functionality and flexibility in a system designed specifically for the automotive aftermarket. The system includes point of sale, inventory management, forecasting, purchasing, reporting, and accounting.
“We enjoy working with exceptional companies like Packard Industries,” stated Lance Brierley, General Manager of MAM Software North America. “Their unique view of the aftermarket helps our software become a more diverse and flexible business solution. We look forward to serving as their technology partner.”
