APU Solutions Partners with Mitchell and Audatex
Two recent deals could drive more than a third of the nation’s automobile repair claims through an Overland Park software provider’s network.
In the past few weeks, APU Solutions has landed partnerships with Mitchell International Inc. and Audatex North America Inc., which together process close to half of the roughly 18 million U.S. auto repair claims each year, APU CEO Charles Lukes said. APU could handle as many as 8 million of those.
“It’s a big deal,” he said. “Each one of these I personally have been working on for close to three years now.”
It could mean adding 15 to 20 employees to APU’s 27-member work force during the next couple years. - Suzanna Stagemeyer Kansas City Business Journal
