Shopmonkey Partners with Epicor

Shopmonkey, a San Jose, California-based software company serving the automotive industry, and Epicor Software Corporation, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software to promote business growth, have entered into a new partnership, the companies announced

Shopmonkey has integrated with Epicor’s Integrated Service Estimator solution to give its users access to Epicor’s parts ordering catalog and allow them to transfer parts to a Shopmonkey order.

“By partnering with Epicor, we have further enhanced our customers’ parts ordering experience and our commitment to provide auto shops with an all-in-one shop management software. Thanks to this partnership, our customers have hundreds of options to find the right part for the job and can quickly transfer parts from the Epicor PartExpert database directly into a Shopmonkey repair order,” said Ashot Iskandarian, CEO and founder of Shopmonkey.

The Epicor PartExpert replacement part database includes maintenance and repair packages and over 12 million part numbers, the company said.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer our services to the businesses using Shopmonkey across the nation,” said Tim Hardin, senior vice president and general manager of automotive at Epicor. “Partnering with a cloud-based company will allow us to get our replacement parts easily into the hands of businesses that need them. With nearly 2,000 shops using Shopmonkey, this partnership will allow both companies to benefit from the integration.”
