The Ultimate Virtual Parts Warehouse
Parex Locator connects the global parts marketplace to make finding, buying and shipping genuine parts easier. OEMs can offload excess or obsolete stock, while dealers can quickly find parts at a discounted rate to continue offering their customers genuine parts as a point of difference, and at a competitive price versus aftermarket service centres.
There are certain parts in your warehouse that you will always need in stock… and others, never again. The “do not need” pile of parts don’t have to sit heavy on your shelf or heavy on your cash flow. In fact these days, there is ample money to be made in obsolete parts among dealers.
