Vendor/Broker Spotlight:
SSF Imported Auto Parts

Today we are highlighting SSF Imported Auto Parts! SSF is a participating vendor on Car-Part.com. Like most of our vendors, you'll see their inventory in Trading Partners (on the Vendors tab), so it's quick and easy for you to find parts from them. You can also have SSF as a Brokering partner, to show their parts under your name online!

From SSF:

SSF on Trading Partners

Searching the inventories of SSF and our other participating vendors is simple! Start by searching for a part using your Trading Partners search from your inventory management system, iCPM, Bidmate, or Partmate. In your Trading Partners results, look at the Vendors button at the top of the page.

If SSF or any other participating vendors have the part you're looking for, a number will appear in parentheses on this button. This shows the number of participating vendors who sell this part. Click on this number to view search results from vendors. You can make your sale while still on the phone or on Car-Part Messaging (iCPM) with your customer!

The Vendors button feature is a standard part of Car-Part.com's Trading Partners service. Vendor information is made available to recyclers only through the Trading Partners service, and these parts are not displayed in response to parts searches performed on the Car-Part.com public website.

SSF as a Brokering Partner

SSF is also available as a Brokering partner. When you add SSF as one of your brokering partners, you can show their parts under your business name in search results on your website (including MyPartsApp) and on Car Part Pro. Here's an example of how it would look to your customer:
