Events - Pinnacle at APRAA Yard Tour 2007

The 16th and 17th of November saw APRAA members from all over Australia descend on Adelaide for their 25th annual event. This year was a 'yard tour' style event with a coach trip arranged to deliver all attendees to Just Commodore Spares, Oriental Auto Parts, U Pull It Spares and Paradise Auto Parts.The lunch stop was arranged at Paradise Auto Parts and everyone then had the opportunity to look around Hugo Pellegrini's show place facility. At the heart of Hugo's parts business is a dedicated team of individuals, all focussed on selling car parts and maximising the return Paradise receives on every vehicle it dismantles.

During the tour, it was very obvious that Paradise's computer software also plays a major role in their success, as the staff describe how they use the Pinnacle "Pre Dismantle List" to decide which parts to input into the system, which ones to take off the car and which ones are likely to become excess stock if they are taken off !!! Beyond the dismantling process, the sales staff have access not only to the stock of Paradise Auto Parts, but also to more than 20 other significant dismantlers all over Australia via PinnacleNet. This gives them the opportunity to source parts from far and wide for their own customers, thus saying 'YES' more often, and also allows them to effectively expand their sales workforce all over Australia by showing their parts on every other Pinnacle user's screens automatically. These facilities when combined with the comprehensive Pinnacle Interchange data, gives Paradise the edge they need to stay ahead of the competition.
