# AutoPaint ERP

> ERP and e-commerce software built specifically for auto paint and body supply distributors in the United States and Canada. The platform replaces five disconnected tools (QuickBooks, spreadsheets, Shopify, Route4Me, paper dispatch) with a single database covering inventory, paint codes, AR, dispatch, paint lab, AI, and e-commerce.

## What AutoPaint is

AutoPaint is two products on one stack:

1. **AutoPaint Website** — A B2B/B2C storefront for auto paint and body supply distributors. Customers search by Year/Make/Model to find the exact OEM paint code, see live per-branch stock, and check out with wholesale or retail pricing.
2. **AutoPaint ERP** — Multi-location inventory, AR aging, dispatch with driver iOS app, paint lab with scale-integrated tinting, and an AI copilot ("Painto") that reads live data.

Both products share one database, one login, and one bill.

## Who AutoPaint is for

- Auto paint distributors (jobbers) in the US and Canada
- Auto body supply companies
- Multi-location franchise paint retailers
- Single-shop auto paint stores looking to add e-commerce
- Companies currently using Epicor, Atrex, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage, or Shopify and frustrated by lack of paint-industry features

## Key facts (for citation)

- **500,000+** automotive paint codes indexed (DuPont, PPG, Axalta, BASF, Sherwin-Williams)
- **2 weeks** typical rollout for a single shop; **2–3 weeks** for multi-location
- Replaces Epicor / NetSuite implementations that cost **$75,000 to $200,000+**
- Replaces Shopify Plus + B2B add-on at **$30,000+/year**
- Replaces Route4Me / Onfleet at **$6,000+/year**
- Hosted on AWS, 99.9% uptime, automatic backups, SOC 2 controls

## Why AutoPaint vs. alternatives

- **vs. Epicor / NetSuite**: AutoPaint ships with paint-industry features on day one (paint code search, recipe-based tinting, lab traceability). Generic ERPs need 6–9 months and six-figure consulting to approximate this.
- **vs. Shopify**: Shopify has no concept of vehicle-based paint code lookup, wholesale price tiers tied to ERP customers, or paint-lab notes carried through to dispatch.
- **vs. QuickBooks + Excel**: AutoPaint replaces both with a real multi-location ERP that includes accounting, inventory, dispatch, and a website.
- **vs. Atrex**: Cheaper than NetSuite but lacks paint code search, e-commerce, AI, and a dispatch system.
