Your Aftermarket Supply Chain Shouldn't Be Complicated

Kem Krest manages accessories, kitting, battery, and packaged oil programs end-to-end, so your team can focus on what actually moves the business forward.

The Aftermarket Pulls You in Too Many Directions

You’re managing hundreds of SKUs across accessories, kitting programs, batteries, packaged oil, and service chemicals – each with its own sourcing relationships, regulatory requirements, packaging specs, fulfillment demands, and delivery logistics. Every program adds complexity. Every complexity adds cost.

Meanwhile, your team is stretched thin. They’re juggling supplier coordination, inventory turns, compliance, and dealers’ high expectations for streamlined delivery when their time would be better spent on strategic growth initiatives.

When the cost of managing your automotive aftermarket supply chain in-house outweighs the benefit, it's time to outsource to a partner built specifically for this work.

One Partner. Total Program Management

End-to-End Aftermarket Supply Chain Management.

We don't just warehouse and ship—we own the inventory through a vendor managed inventory model, manage the suppliers, handle regulatory compliance, and deliver directly to your dealer network. It's total program management, not commodity logistics.
