Customer Support Specialist

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POSTING:

WHO ARE WE

The auto-part industry is a $350-500B+/year market in the US alone (primarily B2B), and still uses the telephone to transact. Additionally, over 60% of the time a Salvage Yard receives an order request, they do not have the part to complete that order and spend an excessive amount of time calling around to find that part for their customer. This inefficiency results in billions of dollars in lost sales every year.

That’s why we’re building APFusion, a B2B marketplace revolutionizing the automotive parts industry. We are building a world-class team led by Founder & CEO Alex Smith, who comes from a family of Salvage Yard operators with close to 100 years of experience. Today, with unprecedented access to inventory, Salvage Yards that use APFusion immediately increase their order fill rates and supercharge their sales operation with a single click of a button. 

APFusion’s hyper-growth has garnered the excitement and support from top technology and marketplace VCs (Bedrock Capital, Left Lane Capital, M25) who have backed companies like OpenAI, Rippling, Lyft, Plaid, Cameo, Bilt, etc., and we’re just getting started.
