At SEMA 2023, the PC Bennett team had the amazing opportunity to meet and network with more than 2,200 exhibitors and 160,000 attendees during the automotive aftermarket community’s largest annual gathering. Our Acumatica booth always had a steady flow of traffic as business owners and other major decision makers looked to learn more about how a cloud-based ERP can revolutionize their organization. Scott McLaughlin (seen below), a top INDYCAR driver who just started a multi-year relationship with Acumatica, even showed up to see our space! This was our seventh year attending SEMA and it continues to amaze us how the show continuously grows year after year, as well as rebound so well after the pandemic. Attending was a huge affirmation that our initiative to invest in the automotive aftermarket industry was the right decision.
Education Was Key
The trade show was an exceptional format for us to be able to chat with leaders at a variety of automotive aftermarket businesses that work in manufacturing, distribution, and retail/eCommerce to explain the benefits an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system can provide them. This is especially true when considering how we developed AutoFitmentPlus, which lives in Acumatica Cloud ERP, for this exact audience. Many who stopped by our booth were so happy to hear that there is a technology solution with industry-standard ACES fitment data built right into it. We heard many times how this will increase speed and accuracy for their sales and fulfillment teams.
What is next for PC Bennett?
Now that we have wrapped up our week in Las Vegas at SEMA, we are already looking forward to attending PRI in Indianapolis in early December. If you are heading to PRI, let us know at Hello@PCBennett.com. We would love to see if the solution we have built for the automotive aftermarket industry matches your needs.
