SACRAMENTO, Calif.--After a decade of transforming ALLDATA into a popular provider of diagnostic automotive repair information, Rod Georgiu launched his second company, AUTOVIA, to help automotive parts distributors and repair shops reduce their order processing costs.

Georgiu will bring his industry knowledge and expertise to this year’s eAutoWorld trade show on Thursday, Oct. 5, when he will discuss how automotive distributors and repair shops can leverage the Internet to reduce significant transaction costs in the automotive aftermarket. Georgiu will also show how AUTOVIA, a business-to-business e-commerce company that uses the Internet to automate the parts ordering process, is helping distributors dramatically cut order processing costs and labor-intensive procedures that cost companies thousands of dollars each year.
