Overview
Reynolds and Reynolds introduced Parts Flex Logistics, a logistics platform for auto dealerships to manage and scale wholesale parts delivery alongside retail operations. Announced on Jan. 21, the system will be showcased at NADA 2026, where dealers can see it in action at Booth 2963W.
Who it’s for
The platform targets parts departments selling to a mix of local body shops, independent repair facilities, other dealerships, retail parts stores, and end consumers. It is intended to support operations ranging from a single truck to multi-driver wholesale fleets.
Core capabilities
- Dispatch web app: Track shipments, build manifests, plan routes, generate tracking numbers, and print barcoded labels from a central screen.
- Real-time visibility: Live map of vehicles and drivers to monitor route progress and make mid-day adjustments.
- Driver mobile app: Organized task lists, turn-by-turn navigation, and stop management to keep routes on schedule.
- Proof of delivery: Photo and signature capture to document who received parts and when, reducing back-and-forth and accelerating issue resolution.
Benefits highlighted
- Improved oversight and accountability for high-value inventory in transit.
- Reduced “windshield time” via route optimization and live adjustments to cut costs and improve on-time performance.
- Standardized workflows by consolidating dispatch steps previously handled with disparate tools or paper.
- Scalability as delivery volumes grow and customer mixes shift beyond the service lane.
- Clear documentation to minimize disputes, especially at busy, multi-recipient drop-off locations.
Operational context
As more dealerships expand wholesale parts sales beyond their traditional footprint, more inventory travels farther from the counter. Reynolds positions route optimization, tracking, and documentation as essential to meeting delivery windows and maintaining customer relationships.
What’s not specified
Pricing and integration details were not provided in the announcement.
Event details
Reynolds plans to demonstrate Parts Flex Logistics at NADA 2026 (Booth 2963W), inviting dealers exploring new or upgraded wholesale delivery programs to evaluate its dispatch, tracking, and proof-of-delivery features.
Quick takeaway
Parts Flex Logistics is presented as a single, scalable platform for dispatching, monitoring, and documenting wholesale parts deliveries to improve visibility, efficiency, and accountability across drivers, vehicles, and inventory.
