Parts Authority completes investment in Entricit to bring connected car data to auto repair
Parts Authority, a major distributor of aftermarket automotive parts, has completed an investment in Entricit, a data platform that links connected vehicles in real-time to auto repair shops.
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Uniquely focusing on repair and maintenance, Entricit enables the end-to-end flow of vehicle health data and prognostics between a customer's car and the repair shop of their choice.
With integrations to leading telematics service providers on one end, and Shop Management Systems at the auto repair shop on the other end, Entricit completes the last-mile for connected car data flow - an industry first solution.
"As a parts distributor, having access to live vehicle data for so many makes and models allows us to service our customers even better.
