Audatex Pricing

[Niobe Hennigan]

InstantParts Procurement:

Parts can be ordered by DRP shops directly via the quote or by recommendation of the appraiser. An instant messaging feature allows direct communication between supplier, repairer and insurance representative.

On-Line File for every claim:

Every claim submitted through PartsNetwork initiates the creation of an online file. This file details everything that occurred while searching for and procuring parts. Real time inspection is possible through our on-line file. You can actually view each part decision within minutes of the claim being written.

Real time cost comparison to preliminary estimate pricing:

Each part is compared against the price written on the preliminary estimate and returns the savings difference in a summary captured in the online file.

No software installation or maintenance:

PartsNetwork is completely web based negating the need to mail software to clients. APU clients need only a computer and Internet connection to access the latest version of our software. This enables APU to remain mobile in our product offerings and can quickly adjust to an ever-evolving industry.

Please reach out to your DMS provider and request MyPriceLink integration.Will dealers honor MyPriceLink list prices at the time of a parts order?Sell price is often based on a percentage discount off list price for collision shops, so OEMs understand the importance of providing tools for dealers to know the quoted MyPriceLink List prices. Dealers have two methods to view a historical MyPriceLink list price:

It will be at the discretion of each dealer to honor the historical MyPriceLink list prices. OEMs do not determine sell price nor guarantee that a historical list price will be honored by dealers.Why is the Quote ID or Estimate ID on an estimate important?The Quote ID or Estimate ID is a unique number that associates quoted MyPriceLink List Prices for a given estimate, so that dealers fulfilling collision parts orders can easily look up historical MyPriceLink List Prices related to a specific order. This is only needed for orders not sent through CollisionLink since CollisionLink orders are integrated with MyPriceLink.Why is my MyPriceLink List Price different for different repairs although it is the same part number?MyPriceLink enables real-time pricing to be generated up front at the time the estimate is written. This allows pricing to be based on current market dynamics versus traditional static monthly price tapes.Can MyPriceLink prices be retrieved manually?Yes. There is a MyPriceLink Price Look-up Tool that is accessible in the following applications:

Each DMS has their own unique setup instructions which may include additional instructions (ex: installing price tapes). Please contact your DMS for MyPriceLink setup instructions.How does MyPriceLink impact margins?MyPriceLink is a dynamic pricing engine OEMs can use to optimize list prices to align with their pricing strategy goals.

MyPriceLink quotes allow the dealer to see the parts and prices generated in the estimate. When a dealer needs to supersede a part number in a MyPriceLink quote or add parts to the order, the list price will be generated using the same attributes that are contained in the MyPriceLink quote. The result is that pricing would be the same as if the customer had entered those parts in their estimate.

Please reach out to your DMS if they are not yet integrated with MyPriceLink and request it.How can I see the entire estimate from my body shops through MyPriceLink?Shops creating estimates using one of the major estimating systems will automatically have an MyPriceLink quote created when they save the estimate. Based on the insurer, both OE and non-OE parts will be included in the quote and visible when you search for and open a quote through MyPriceLink.
