For DoorDash, it won’t take Uber Eats as its role model, which merely puts a random category of stores on its app. At the very least, DoorDash has got the instruction right when it enlists AutoParts.com to its app. Well, DoorDash cars need this. RSF has more!
DoorDash welcomes AutoParts.com!
AutoParts.com customers, listen up. You could already purchase their products through the DoorDash app. The brand has brought its catalog of hundreds of thousands of auto-parts live on the DoorDash application. This is you will never need to travel to the stores of this kind, or log into the AutoParts website, and go through the tedious steps.
This is the first-time a complete, that’s right, a complete auto-parts catalog has been crafted natively into DoorDash. Congratulations!
The CEO of the brand, Richard Keller, told RSF, "This marks a significant inflection point for the industry. For years, eCommerce customers would have to wait days or even weeks to receive a part. People simply can’t wait that long when their car is out of commission. Life does not stop just because your car won’t start. This partnership aims to get parts into the hands of DIYers so they can get the job done and get back on the road faster. Customers need parts fast, and that is exactly what this partnership allows us to do.”
AutoParts.com is a technology-based car marketplace and fulfillment platform – think of Amazon, but for cars – that connects distributors, independent suppliers, and retail locations into a unified commercial network.
Crafted around its own real-time technology stack, this brand aggregates localized inventory data across thousands of locations to streamline parts discovery, fitment verification, and rapid on-demand delivery logistics for consumers and commercial customers. AutoParts.com is designed to make auto parts easier to find, verify, purchase, and receive through a faster, more connected aftermarket supply network.
Therefore, the geo-located inventory system of the brand, alongside its massive catalog, places everything in a unique, strong position at a rapid speed that DoorDash consumers could expect, also helping the AutoParts.com operations grow better.
“We built this system not only to offer the typical eCommerce experience, but to be a true last-mile solution,” stated Keller.
‘We couldn’t be more excited’
As for the brand’s COO, they couldn’t be more excited.
“We couldn’t be more excited,” COO Simon Savaya chatted with Ridesharingforum.com. "AutoParts.com has given Holbrook the opportunity to sell our parts to a broader consumer base, providing an exciting new growth opportunity that we look forward to extending to other local retailers across the country. With our first-of-its-kind tech stack and DoorDash’s unmatched fulfillment capabilities, we truly believe that our partnership will deliver value for auto parts consumers and retailers across the country.”
Savaya once owned his own brand of this kind in Detroit, and has realized the ups and downs of the processes.
“We want to bring the Mom and Pops back to Main Street and give them a chance to compete in the eCommerce space, a space that they were boxed out of due to the complex technological capabilities required,” remarked Keller.
