Navistar to link dealer inventories

Warrenville-based Navistar Inc. is initiating a new system designed to optimize its dealers' parts inventory and speed up customer repairs.

Navistar said that beginning this month, it will implement products from OEConnection LLC, an online parts and service exchange in the automotive industry, for more than 280 international dealerships across 800 locations in the United States and Canada.

Through this system, international dealers can view each others' stock in real time and pull from other dealers' stock to fulfill customer needs.
