WHAT IS FAST-NET'S WORLD PARTS CENTER NETWORK?
http://www.worldparts.com Fast-Net's World Parts Center is an advertisement based parts locator system where participating dealers can place ads for specific parts. People from around the world search the database in order to find price and availability of needed parts. Each time a search is performed our system notifies the participating dealers of the search results. If a match is found ONLY THE DEALER WHO PLACED THE AD IS NOTIFIED. If no match is found, the notice is sent to all dealerships that sell the selected carline. This allows our dealers to contact the customer by phone or email and service his/her parts needs. Here is a sample ad for a set of brake pads for a 1994 Chevrolet Camaro E-mail Notification Each time a search is performed in the on-line parts catalog and NO MATCH is found the system sends an e-mail message to ALL the participating dealers which looks like this: \|-------------------- User search request from World Parts Center ----------------\| A search was performed in the World Parts Center On-line catalogs By rayu@worldparts.com for an 1986 Chevrolet Caprice master Cylinder.

Contact the customer via e-mail and service this customer's parts price and availability request.

This form asks the customer for his name and phone number, VIN number and most of the information that would typically be required to correctly look up a part.

Member's feedback will be a mechanism that will assist in providing the most effective network and professional customer service to the people who need parts. Our analysts will continue to compile information and derive statistics to continually improve our effectiveness in the marketplace. Some of the results of this feedback will include prequalifying customers, maximizing FNWPC advertising and maximizing dealer exposure on the Internet.
