Epicor Launches Initiative to Help Automotive Aftermarket Businesses ‘Find Your Next 20 Percent’

Epicor Software Corporation has announced a business consultation initiative designed to help automotive aftermarket parts manufacturers, distributors/jobbers and service chains increase sales and margins and improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. The “Find Your Next 20 Percent” initiative will include free, no-obligation business growth consultations scheduled in conjunction with the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX), Nov. 1-3, 2016, in Las Vegas, Nev.

Aftermarket professionals not attending AAPEX can participate in telephone and web-based consultations with Epicor professionals throughout November and December.

Business owners and managers who participate in “Find Your Next 20 Percent” consultation sessions will be entered into drawings for an array of attractive prizes, including Apple Watch Sport watches, Visa gift cards and Epicor ListingExpert combination reseller licenses for Amazon.com and eBay Motors.

“Many business owners are looking for that next breakthrough to help dramatically enhance their competitiveness and increase their bottom-line performance,” said Scott Thompson, vice president, automotive, analytics and content, Epicor. “If it seems like you’re working harder every year to achieve only modest growth, it’s time to aim higher. We can help identify the best practices and corresponding technologies that are helping industry peers achieve faster, more profitable growth.”
