“Sound Press has been an invaluable partner to help us get started in direct b2c ecommerce. Thanks to their work integrating catalog, inventory, and pricing data with our website, we’re now able to allow customers to look up parts for their vehicles online, for pickup at any one of our 80+ locations, which has notably increased our reach and profit.”
Car Parts Warehouse (CPW), based in Cleveland Ohio, one of the top automotive warehouse distributors in the continental US, faced the challenge of an outdated online presence hindering its growth potential.

As distributors in the heavy-duty automotive industry celebrate another year of growth, it’s essential to keep our fingers on the pulse of market trends. One exciting avenue that is gaining significant traction is the booming market for heavy-duty automotive accessories.
We want to thank Joe and the Sound Press team for their work on our B2B catalog build-out. Joe kept us updated every step of the way.

With over 23 years of business with so many different companies, we’ve seen a lot of great, and we’ve seen a lot of not-so-great. One of the keys to success that is great, is when we see Strategic Planning for Growth.
I remember months ago when Ron Larson, our Director of Sales and long-time industry veteran, said, “We should go to ACPN.” I said, “What is it?” Well, now I know. It’s the data, the industry standards, the categorization, and ACES/PIES, and all the great men and women that make automotive, commercial, and heavy-duty parts possible…
