But just what is the up-to-date measure of market demand? Until now, you’ve had to rely solely on vehicles-in-operation data to tell you which cars were on the road. Epicor Vista for the aftermarket tracks the actual replacement volumes to more than 13,000 vehicle configurations based on parts sold at the counter to both professional and do-it-yourself installers. Imagine the power of knowing how many Brand X brake pads were sold and then installed on Brand A make and model vehicle. Vista data is updated daily from a nationwide panel of part sellers equipped with the Epicor Electronic Catalog. Vista records lookup events, choices/results, and sales decisions. Twenty reporting options give you detailed statistics and graphic views for three major categories: aftermarket by vehicle, your brand versus the market, and brand point of sale activity by vehicle. Reports, including regional summaries, are delivered via Web access so you can evaluate data and manage your business from anywhere. You can also create your own reports for custom analysis. With Vista statistics, you can access data you need to improve long-range planning, take advantage of market opportunities, and gauge when aftermarket demand is emerging for new vehicles. Vista illustrates the vehicle replacement lifecycle based on both market and competitor benchmarks. This data will help support your decision to either expand your product line with new parts or internally manufacture or source individual parts. To address market trends such as OE quality, the parts counterman and installer are faced with increasing list brand and grade options at point of sale. With more brands competing for the same vehicles, Vista provides feedback on brand positioning and new product rollout and acceptance which is critical to maintaining and growing market share.
