Our E-Commerce Study Should Be In Your “Cart”!

We are launching our E-Commerce Study in the next couple of weeks!

Taking our 4th examination of this ever-changing parts purchasing method, we will delve into fleets’ online parts purchasing practices as well AND channels’ sourcing patterns and customer details. Looking from both sides of purchasing will allow our Study subscribers with a complete view of this important parts purchasing method.

We will conduct surveys with fleets and distribution channels as well as online fleet focus groups. Our survey topics and focus group discussion points will be determined with input from Study subscribers - yes, you as a subscriber play a major role in the development of the Study content. It is vital to commit to this Study early on in the process to address YOUR e-commerce topics and questions.

Our detailed Prospectus outlines all of the Study details; check it out and let us know if you have any questions.

For more information, please contact John Blodgett or Travis Kokenes or call 630-916-6110.

Want to know more about the Service Side of the Medium/Heavy Duty Market?

Our 2024 Service Study covers all topics relating to service. We are taking a deep dive into fleets’ service needs - their outsourcing needs, their mobile maintenance needs and their future service expectations. From a channel perspective, shops provide detail on their service offerings, number of bays and technicians along with specifics on many service-related activities.

Fleet and distribution channel surveys are in-house and we are beginning the process of analyzing the thousands and thousands of data points! Our detailed report and online application will be available in early fall.

Want to learn more (and yes, there is so much more!), please contact John Blodgett or Travis Kokenes or
