ARI’s Nexpart Integration is now live

ARI Nexpart Integration Illustration

Stop Toggling Tabs. Start Ordering Parts. Nexpart is Now Live in ARI.

You know the drill.

You’re mid-repair, you realize you need a specific alternator, and suddenly you’re playing “Digital Detective.” You open three different browser tabs, log in to two different supplier portals, copy-paste the VIN four times, and pray you didn’t fat-finger a part number.

By the time you actually find the part, you’ve wasted 15 minutes. Multiply that by five jobs a day?

That’s over 30 hours a month gone.

We improved ARI to give you those hours back. That’s why, starting today, you have a second major powerhouse in your corner: Nexpart by WHI Solutions is officially integrated.

Two Networks. One Screen. Zero Headache.

This isn’t a replacement for our PartsTech integration. It’s an upgrade to your entire shop’s reach. You now have two independent parts networks living right inside your ARI dashboard.

Why does this matter for a busy shop?

  • Local Legends: Nexpart connects you to a massive network of local aftermarket, OE dealer, and recycled part suppliers that might not be on other platforms.
  • The “Price War” Advantage: If PartsTech doesn’t have it, Nexpart probably does. If they both have it, you pick the one that protects your margins.
  • VIN-Sync Technology: Stop typing. ARI passes the VIN directly to Nexpart. The catalog opens with the right vehicle already loaded.
  • Core Charges Handled: Alternators, starters, calipers—the core deposits are automatically pulled in as separate line items. No more manual math.

“Is it Hard to Set Up?”

Not at all. It takes about 60 seconds.

  1. Connect: Go to Settings > Parts Procurement > Nexpart. Enter your Nexpart credentials. Tap Connect.
  2. Shop: Open any Job Card or Invoice. Hit Order Parts.
  3. Choose: A dropdown appears. Pick Nexpart.
  4. Import: Find your parts, close the window, and ARI (Auto Repair Software) asks how you want to price them (Wholesale, List, or your own custom markup).

That’s it. The parts land on your document as line items, ready for the customer to sign off.

The “Smart Shop” Strategy: PartsTech + Nexpart

The best shops we know don’t rely on one source. They use both integrations as a “Double-Check” system. That way, their inventory management is on point:

  • Compare Availability: When your main supplier is backordered, check the other network. Different warehouses, different trucks.
  • Specialty Finds: Use Nexpart’s recycled and specialty vendor network for those “impossible to find” parts on older rigs.
  • Keep Your Reps: If you have a 10-year relationship with a local dealer on Nexpart, you don’t have to leave them to use ARI. Use the integration and keep those loyalty points.

Ready to Reclaim Your Afternoon?

The Nexpart integration is included in your ARI subscription at no extra cost. We don’t believe in “hidden modules.” If you have ARI, you have Nexpart.

Here is your 3-step mission for tomorrow morning:

  1. Grab your Nexpart login (or get one at nexpart.com).
  2. Hook it up in ARI Settings.
  3. Order your first part without ever leaving the app.

Stop hunting for parts. Start fixing cars.
