8. The APN Program
• The Problem: Disconnect between the online world and brick and
mortar world resulting in:
– Lack of an automated solution to have parts installed by professionals
– Lack of communication between online users and dealers
– Loss service dealers sales due to not being able to offer products locally that are
in the online catalog
• The Solution: Offer services that allow online consumers and brick
