Yamaha Customer Support Group Selects ARI Network Services Inc. To Develop Custom Website

Under the agreement, ARI will build, host and maintain the new website. The site will include a next‐generation content management system that enables CSG to take advantage of dynamic product merchandising, as well as makes it easier to update catalog information. PartStream, ARI’s consumer‐oriented, mobile‐friendly illustrated parts lookup solution, will provide consumers with the freedom to look up parts, garments, accessories and service items from virtually anywhere at any time.

ARI Network Services Inc., a leader in creating, marketing, and supporting SaaS and DaaS solutions that connect consumers, dealers, distributors, and manufacturers in selected vertical markets, has announced that the Yamaha Customer Support Group (CSG) selected ARI to develop and deploy a custom website to support its parts and accessories business operations.

“Our goal is to increase brand visibility of Yamaha Genuine Parts and Accessories. In addition, we want to provide consumers with an online experience that equals, if not exceeds, the best experience available on the Web today,” said Frank Pittman, general manager of CSG. “We were confident that ARI would be able to help us meet these goals for three reasons. First, ARI has been a trusted partner for more than a decade, providing our dealers with accurate, up‐to‐date parts lookup through PartSmart. Second, ARI has a proven track record of building and hosting our corporate website, www.yamaha‐motor.com. And, finally, we’re confident that ARI’s demonstrated commitment to using forward‐looking technology will continue to enable Yamaha to deploy robust, user‐friendly solutions.”

“We’re excited about the opportunity to expand our relationship with Yamaha Motor Corporation. Yamaha CSG’s selection of ARI is a further testament to the value of the products and services that we have provided Yamaha Motor Corporation over the past 14 years,” said Roy W. Olivier, president and CEO of ARI. “We look forward to working together to build and deploy an online parts and accessories solution for consumers that will meet their current and future business requirements.”
