The initial computer program was written by Jay Hubelbank who is most familiar with the industry. He had built the largest OEM motorcycle parts wholesale business in the U.S. and knew firsthand how frustrated dealers were when they tried to use manufacturer, distributor and aftermarket price books. This first program allowed dealers to look up prices and search databases quickly. It was so well received, that requests for additional features started pouring in. Adding an inventory control expert and a Windows system and database programmer and analyst, NextStep created PartsLookup, the most practical and cost effective Dealer Management System available.

PartsLookup is reliable, easy to use and quick to install. Several features offer distinct improvements over other popular systems. Point of Sale forms are easy to create. Running totals are shown on screen as you add selections. The system automatically supercedes old part numbers with new ones and immediately provides information on whether an item is in stock. With one click it’s easy to find extended data, crossreference information, add vendor part to inventory, or navigate among features.

PartsLookup Bronze® is the basic system module and includes price files for over 220 manufacturers and distributors. The system is expandable one module at a time, adding PartsLookup Silver®, the point of sale module, then PartsLookup Gold®, the inventory management module, and finally PartsLookup Platinum®, the accounting module that links PartsLookup® records with the QuickBooks® system, using QuikBridge®. QuikFind® is the electronic parts catalog module that can be installed anytime.

PartsLookup is the lowest priced system in the industry. Its pricing structure is unusual, too, because one annual fee covers all price files, all monthly upgrades and updates, all tech support, classroom training, five network users, multimedia training and tutorial CD, and all maintenance fees.

The company excels in its ability to respond to customers. Specialists at the help desk are thoroughly trained and understand all of the nuances of using each module of PartsLookup.

There is a full range in the size of business that uses the NextStep Suite—from the largest distributors of powersports parts and accessories in the U.S., to new repair shops just opening their businesses. NextStep helps transition any business into more efficient, less time consuming systems gradually, improving business systems while keeping everything running smoothly.
