$1 billion in OEM parts and accessories sold through RevolutionParts

RevolutionParts has helped dealerships grow OEM market share in the multi-billion dollar retail parts and accessories market, taking sales directly from aftermarket part sellers.

Franchised new car dealers in the United States have now sold more than $1 billion dollars in OEM parts and accessories using RevolutionParts – a milestone achieved in only 6 years since the company’s foundation in 2013.

Total OEM part and accessory sales powered by RevolutionParts in 2019 reached nearly $320 Million and has been steadily growing year over year. By providing new car dealers with an easy and affordable way to reach millions of nationwide buyers using their own branded eCommerce webstore, or leveraging the power of the Amazon and eBay marketplaces, RevolutionParts has helped them aggressively grow OEM market share in the multi-billion dollar retail parts and accessories market.

The timing for new car dealers to get into the retail eCommerce market couldn’t be better:

1. As new car sales stagnate, retail demand for parts and accessories increases. Consumers are holding on to their vehicles longer and investing more in their care and upkeep.

2. Advances in anti-collision technology by manufacturers has resulted in the reduction and severity of car crashes, which in turn has led to a steady decline of OEM part sales in the collision industry.

3. Online parts and accessories sales was a $12 billion industry in 2019, and that number is expected to grow to $19 billion by 2022.

Dealerships leveraging the power of RevolutionParts increase their fixed operations revenue and proactively close or exceed any projected revenue gap by taking sales directly from aftermarket part sellers.

“I believe all OEM dealers should have an online presence,” said Gary Ricci of Quality Buick GMC Mazda of Albuquerque. “If you want to be successful, have a professional appearance, and get online quickly, RevolutionParts is who you want as your online provider, hands down.”

Selling online allows dealers to reach volume-based OEM incentives, growing profits quickly and sustainably.

“We’re hitting our manufacturer’s objectives month in and month out,” said Justin Akin of All Star CDJR. “I had a Chrysler rep come into our dealership recently to ask what we were doing to make our accessory sales skyrocket. Selling online was my answer.”

The biggest players in the automotive industry have turned to RevolutionParts to help set up and manage their online presence via eBay, Amazon, or individual dealers’ webstores. The top five brands by total sales have all found their road to revenue much smoother after getting online with RevolutionParts:

General Motors: $193.3 million

Toyota: $118.4 million

Ford: $112.4 million

Mopar: $93.9 million

Honda: $72.1 million

Top Five Parts (By Total Sales):

Door Mirrors

Headlights

Grilles

Disc Brake Pad Sets

Tail Light Assemblies

Top Five Accessories (By Total Sales):

Floor Mats

Wheels

Roof Luggage Carrier Cross Rails

Roof Racks

Spoilers

“The SOC 2 Control Audit process evaluated both Collabware and Collabspace to ensure the appropriate controls are in place,” explains Anastasia Hunter, Collabware SVP of Operations. “Moving forward, we will undergo annual SOC 2 Type 2 audits to demonstrate our continued adherence.”

Collabware, a leading provider of records management, discovery and compliance software, today announced the successful completion of the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2, Type 1 Security and Availability Compliance audit. Led by an independent third party, BDO Canada LLP tested and validated the controls put in place by Collabware to assure customers that strict information management protocols are being adhered to.

Established as a standard by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), criteria and reporting principles are outlined as a means for organizations to create a documented framework of policies and procedures to prove how they manage and secure data in the cloud and ensure protection of customer privacy. The SOC 2 Report has become a benchmark standard, and now-often-specified requirement, in the software procurement process.

The test covers numerous components, including:


  • Physical Security
  • Environmental Security
  • Logical Access Management
  • Reporting Deficiencies
  • Network and Operating System Security
  • Vulnerability Management
  • System Monitoring
  • Protection against Malicious Software and Programs
  • Change Management
  • Incident Management
  • Staff Code of Conduct and Hiring Procedures
  • Internal and External Communications
  • Software Processing Capacity
  • Data Backup and Recovery

Collabware underwent a thorough review of its software products, operating systems and internal procedures and took measures to add even further security layers while creating or updating procedural documentation to meet SOC 2 guidelines.

“We are in the business of data management, and security is, and always has been, a critical factor in our product promise,” says Graham Sibley, CEO of Collabware. “Our customers’ trust in us is paramount which is why we will always be evolving and bettering our systems and procedures to meet their highest expectations.”

“The SOC 2 Control Audit process evaluated both Collabware and Collabspace to ensure the appropriate controls are in place,” explains Anastasia Hunter, Collabware SVP of Operations. “Over this year and moving forward, we will undergo annual SOC 2 Type 2 audits to demonstrate our continued adherence and consistent delivery of our security controls.”

World-Renowned Interior Designer Julia Wong Partners With Senseon in Tech Overhaul of Her Kitchen


Internationally-recognized interior designer Julia Wong uses Senseon to unlock a cabinet in her remodeled kitchen.

“The product [Senseon] allows me to integrate design and technology seamlessly.” – Julia Wong, Principal, Julia Wong Designs

World-renowned residential and commercial designer Julia Wong had a challenge: incorporating security into her elegant designs while preserving their simplicity and power.

For her upscale clients and her own home, she turned to Senseon®. The innovative cabinet-level access control provider has helped Wong design solutions to secure doors and drawers of cabinets containing potentially hazardous items without marring the aesthetic with clunky locks.

Wong, the principal of Julia Wong Designs, says her goal is “to create a design that’s not only beautiful but also very, very functional.”

She explains, “I think great design today is integrating design and technology, but I don’t want to see the technology.”

Some technology solutions, like unsightly wires or protruding locks, can feel overwhelming and ultimately inhibit the design. Senseon, in contrast, offers a discreet and easy way to safeguard valuable jewelry, art and important documents for clients. It also enables clients to secure hazardous contents.

When remodeling the kitchen of her California home, Wong sought Senseon for a commercial-strength but unobtrusive solution to protect her young daughter from items, such as knives and alcoholic beverages, stored in drawers and cabinets.

Wong says Senseon, which features strong but concealed locks and controlled access, is the perfect solution. “The product allows me to integrate design and technology seamlessly,” she notes. “I can design clean lines while providing my clients the security that they need.”

Her clients love the system, and it has done the trick in her kitchen, where Wong does not have to worry about losing her cabinet keys or her daughter finding them. The designer simply taps her RFID keycard to unlock cabinets. If cabinets are left unlocked, an auto-relock feature helps ensure her daughter’s safety.

Wong says she plans to collaborate with Senseon on future residential and retail projects. “True design goes beyond style, and Senseon really helps me, both on the security and the functionality side, to achieve what I’m looking for,” she says.

“Julia Wong’s experience with Senseon illustrates how our solutions enable interior designers, and their clients, to bridge the gap between security and aesthetics,” says Sid Kalantar, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Senseon. “We’re delighted that this esteemed designer has selected Senseon to advance her inventive concepts. She is an ideal partner in that she shares our commitment to innovation, robust access control, and technology that complements style.”

JMJ Phillip Executive Search Releases 2020 Hiring Trends


News Image

One of the major trends we’ve noticed this year was an increased desire by hiring committees to see a diverse candidate pool, even if it means delaying the extension of an offer to a stellar candidate who has completed the interview process already and performed well.

JMJ Phillip Executive Search has collected and synthesized executive search and recruiting trends in 2019 to compile a list of the hiring trends anticipated for 2020. The list, an annual tradition for the executive search firm specializing in manufacturing, supply chain, and technology, features numerous insights across hiring, technology, and candidate trends.

“JMJ Phillip experienced a substantial year of growth in 2019, and over the course of the year, we noticed several important trends in recruiting and executive search,” said Kristen Fowler, Vice President at JMJ Phillip. “Each year, we collect executive search trends and report some of the challenges that we’ve seen over the previous year. We’ve seen some trends and swift changes in the industry this year that can potentially impact hiring in 2020.”

“One of the major trends we’ve noticed this year was an increased desire by hiring committees to see a diverse candidate pool, even if it means delaying the extension of an offer to a stellar candidate who has completed the interview process already and performed well. There is a general feeling of not wanting to miss out on candidates who haven’t surfaced in the initial search efforts. As these trends continue into 2020, we can expect that clients will continue to wait to ensure that they have the perfect person, no matter how long it takes,” Fowler continues.

Additional 2020 Hiring Trends insights include:


  • Companies will continue to place a heavy emphasis on hiring a candidate with the personality traits to fit into the company’s culture.
  • Travel is up. Candidates are traveling more around the holiday seasons, slowing down the interview and hiring process.
  • Technology will continue to disrupt and streamline the hiring process, with video methods increasing in prevalence.
