In a recent article released by TruckingTimes.com entitled “How Many Exhibitors Does it Take to make a Good SEMA Truck Show?” 

David Herrmeyer makes some interesting observations about the current state of the truck industry. 

In today’s market which is full of iPhone apps and bargain basement discounters, it is important to look for a competitive edge to differentiate yourself and market your added value.  Web Shop Manager™ agrees with David that “…an Internet presence is now a requirement.”  There will always be a place for brick and mortar stores, but the Internet can help give them an additional stream of income and an online presence that is an extension of the in-store experience. 

Web Shop Manager™ (WSM™) is thrilled to be working with DCI/ Catalograck.com to bring the automotive aftermarket industry a powerful answer to their eCommerce concerns.  Together we can offer a comprehensive out-of-the-box solution that provides:

Custom Web Design – WSM™ will work closely with automotive aftermarket companies to provide a solution that blends the look and feel of their brick and mortar stores with an intuitive and powerful Content Management System (CMS).

Access to over 1 Million SKUs/ 60 Million Applications – Now online store fronts can have access to over a million up-to-date SKUs instantly.  DCI/ Catalograck.com has taken the cumbersome task of entering manufacturer catalogs away from eCommerce site owners.  This allows site owners to benefit from product updates automatically by utilizing WSM™’s Automotive Product Feed Integration.
