WHITE PLAINS, N.Y./EWORLDWIRE/Aug. 9, 2005 --- Wrenchead, Inc., the number one online business application provider in the automotive aftermarket has made its award winning ecommerce solution, Nexpart, even better with the release of Nexpart Axess (TM) (Axess). 

Axess is a leap forwards for fleets, retailers, automotive repair chains and the parts distributors that service them by allowing unprecedented ease and control of parts purchasing. Axess provides complete visibility to all parts purchases regardless of supplier or geography.  It also puts a complete online ordering and tracking tool at every location in addition to providing companies a powerful data analytics tool, making it the ultimate online parts procurement solution for multi location purchasing.

"Customers have called Nexpart Axess the single most important development in parts procurement management in years," said Jim Grubbs, Wrenchead's director of e-commerce. For the first time, fleet managers can view every part purchased in the organization. Savings from improved returns and core management alone create an immediate return on investment. Axess solves the problem of finding the right part at the right time, managing returns, cores and credits. 

Axess is not just an ecommerce solution. It is a powerful purchasing management solution that allows each location to recall any order by date, supplier, order status, vehicle, part number, description, manufacturer or order number in any combination. Axess can even record orders originating from the phone, fax or email. A fleet manager can now run an outstanding returns and cores report for all locations, suppliers and ordering methods with a few clicks. He can then review the report to see all parts that have not yet been returned to any of his suppliers for proper credit. Wrenchead even provides Axess customers complete access to their raw transaction data, allowing them build an unlimited variety of custom reports on their own in-house systems.
