Mitchell 1 Shop Management Customers Can Now Connect to PartsTech Shopping Platform

Editor’s Note: The following blog is Part I of a series highlighting Manager SE’s new multi-vendor catalogs

Mitchell 1’s Shop Management customers can now register for free access to the PartsTech eCommerce platform – one of two new online multi-parts catalogs that were recently integrated with Manager SE and ShopKey SE applications.  This type of platform allows users to view multiple suppliers side-by-side to compare part prices and availability.

The PartsTech network of suppliers includes more than 29,000 automotive parts stores and 50+ tire distributors across the U.S. and Canada, representing over 4,500 brands.

 

The setup for PartsTech is quite similar to previous catalogs, as you will see from the instructions below. You can also get a quick overview by viewing the following videos:

3- Go to Vendor Setup > Add to create a PartsTech vendor record
