Managing Your Dealership

Vendor Communications

Transferring critical data to suppliers can be done with little effort. Duplication of work costs companies significant amounts of money every year. PFW provides a wide range of software interfaces that provide seamless integration between manufacturer-provided tools and your business system. These highly-integrated interfaces reduce the need for duplicate entry and save valuable time and effort.

PFW has developed a variety of Electronic Parts Catalogue software interfaces to help your parts department easily pick and choose a parts list for a customer and upload the part numbers to an invoice, as well as electronically transfer parts orders to your suppliers via the Internet or vendor communications.

Additionally, PFW offers interfaces which allow you to handle direct deposits, parts surplus returns, credit card interactions, parts and equipment location and payroll reporting.

Note: The parts catalogue industry has changed quite a bit and with that many OEM's have switched over to other companies for their parts catalog needs. Because of this, some interfaces may no longer be available or may be in development by the new supplier of this data. When a switch occurs to another supplier, typically that means a new interface will need to be created and suppliers of these interfaces do not always have a standard format for these interfaces because in a lot of cases they are trying to port old applications over to their environment. Based on this, the following list may not be accurate. Please confirm the details with your PFW Sales Representative.
