AutopartsBIN.com Targets Manufacturers, Distributors

The latest partnership in business-to-business e-commerce promises to deliver automotive parts to manufacturers and distributors via the Internet. NetVendor Inc. and CAM International (a U.S.-based aftermarket auto parts redistributor) will join forces to provide parts on NetVendor's portal community AutopartsBIN.com. With the partnership, NetVendor also will develop CAMBIN.com -- an internal Web site that will serve as a trading source for surplus auto parts for CAM and its existing trading partners. The site will enable the company to deal with more volume and capacity than before with traditional redistribution methods. The Web-based exchange also will alleviate the burden of making phone calls to keep the redistributor's inventory databases current and will automate the process of matching buyers with sellers.
