MILWAUKEE, Jun 02, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) —

ARI Network Services, Inc.

ARIS, -3.74%

announced today that a leading European electric vehicle manufacturer will implement ARI’s online eCatalog solution, PartSmart Web®, on its dealer portal.

In support of its strategy to streamline the replacement parts sales process and better serve its distributors and dealers in 38 countries, the manufacturer sought out a cloud-based parts lookup solution that would integrate with their existing ordering system.

The solution will offer online parts lookup, allowing users to quickly and easily identify and locate replacement parts. Based on customer login and type, PartSmart Web’s integration to the manufacturer’s ordering system will allow users to view their unique pricing and submit orders.

PartSmart Web will include replacement part information dating back to 1996 on the more than 5,000 vehicles in circulation, covering a wide range of commercial applications including landscaping, waste collection, postal delivery and street cleaning.

“We are excited to continue to grow the number of international manufacturers utilizing ARI’s eCatalog solutions to provide online access to accurate, up-to-date parts data, inventory levels and online ordering,” said Campion Jaques, Director of Content Services and International Sales for ARI. “We welcome the opportunity to help the manufacturer and its distribution network improve productivity, increase customer satisfaction and sell more OEM parts by ensuring that customers can order the right part the first time.”
