REDWOOD CITY, Calif.,
May 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- SHIFTMobility Inc. (www.shiftmobility.com), creator of the
world's most advanced telematics-enabled automotive platform, today
announced a partnership with eBay Motors. This new partnership
combines SHIFTMobility's mobile automotive aftermarket service
center solutions with eBay's robust inventory of auto parts.
Today's consumers have become accustomed to seamless experiences
on their mobile devices, and automotive professionals are no
exception. On eBay Motors, a single car part is purchased every
three seconds via mobile devices. Couple this mobile-first
preference with the rise of the connected vehicle and it's clear
the automotive industry is poised for explosive growth – it simply
needs the right platform.
Today's repair order processes are costing repair shops an
average of fifteen minutes, but technology can enable a quicker
experience. By integrating with eBay's APIs, ShopLite™
connects automotive repair shops to eBay's vast selection of
aftermarket automotive parts. With ShopLite™, discovering and
ordering the right part is a one-click affair.
"Through this partnership with SHIFTMobility, we are extending
our technology and expansive selection of automotive parts to
independent repair shops," said Matt
Thomas, Director of Merchandising, eBay Motors. "This
relationship allows us to further provide a powerful and simplified
shopping experience for these critical business customers."
"We're excited to partner with eBay Motors and provide our users
with access to one of the world's largest marketplaces of OEM,
aftermarket, and hard-to-find parts," said Pavana Jain, CEO and co-founder of
SHIFTMobility. "With our revolutionary connected service network
comprised of repair centers, parts distributors, manufacturers, and
vehicles, SHIFTMobility makes it easy for automotive service
centers to estimate, order parts, connect to vehicles, and build
customer loyalty through transparency."
The integration with SHIFTMobility is part of a broader API
initiative undertaken by eBay to help connect buyers and
sellers together seamlessly.
