The NSA system is a tremendous benefit to service providers in finding parts that are on backorder with their suppliers. Our server creates a data file of all parts that are past their ETA dates or are on backorder with their suppliers. This data file is automatically forwarded to several parts suppliers. Each supplier then compares the part number in the data file to their own on-hand inventory levels. All suppliers then send us that same file with availability and pricing information for each item on backorder.

We then create a special screen on the web that displays to the service provider all of the repair parts that he has on order along with the availability and pricing received back from each parts supplier. The screen allows the service provider to indicate if he wants to order the parts from the vendors that have them in stock by clicking on a check box. The service provider can enter a purchase order number, account number and preferred shipping method. The order is then emailed to the parts vendor of his choice.

This automated parts location and ordering process can save service providers a significant amount of time and shave days off of average turnaround times.
