eDirectGlass Announces Alliance With the American Auto Glass Alliance
New Alliance to Increase Business for the Independent Automotive Glass Industry
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 26 -- eDirectGlass, the worldwide leading provider of Internet based point-of-sale and mobile related technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMJ Logistics, Inc., today announced that it has entered in to a strategic alliance with the American Auto Glass Alliance (the "AAGA") to provide the technology platform and support services for its nationwide independent automotive glass program and services.
"This alliance marks an evolutionary step for the independent automotive glass repair and replacement industry," said Gary Hart, chief executive officer at eDirectGlass. "The independent glass retailer has been looking for solutions to help them compete and win against the consolidated environment that has been created in the last several years. Participation by the retailer in the alliance will mark a turning point for the independent to reclaim the power and profitability it once had."
The AAGA program for independent shops is a bold step in changing the way independent glass retailers do business. Through the various AAGA services, members will have the ability to compete effectively with the larger regional and national consolidators. AAGA services include:
-- Remote Outsource Services including 24/7 call center and CSI follow-up; -- Internet-based Point-of-Sale (POS) and Shop Management system with NO EDI fees; -- Industry & Vendor Management Center; -- And other programs to include National Pricing Partners, Shop Web Pricing & Scheduling, and more.
"The AAGA recognized that eDirectGlass is years ahead of the technology providers in the industry and is the only platform capable of allowing the independent glass retailer to succeed in such an adverse environment. With the integration of AAGA services with eDirectGlass technology, a new automotive glass repair and replacement industry is set to emerge," said Stuart Weatherman, founder of the AAGA. "We are excited about the introduction of this relationship and what it will bring to the industry and we are confident that the AAGA and its services will create the changes needed for the industry to evolve."
