Scale Your Parts Capacity, Not Your Payroll
Ditch the heavy fixed salary of an on-site parts manager. Our remote service offers a scalable, variable-cost model that provides MSO-level parts procurement for a fraction of the cost.
The On-Site Reality: Parts arrive, they are messy, and the "mirror-matching" is a physical job.
The Backstaff Solution: Your on-site team handles the physical (unboxing and matching), while our Remote Parts Coordinators handle the digital (ordering, tracking, invoice reconciliation, and credit chasing). You get a clean workflow without the administrative overhead.
Ready to supercharge your office productivity?
Fast, trade-qualified remote parts coordinators for Australian smash repairers. Zero overhead, maximum productivity.

Frequently asked questions
Got questions about remote parts cordinators? We’ve got answers!
How does a remote coordinator help if they aren't physically here to unbox parts?
We implement a “Hybrid Workflow” that separates the physical from the administrative. Your on-site team (usually a junior or apprentice) handles the unboxing and physical “mirror-matching” to the vehicle. Our remote coordinator handles the “digital paper-chase”: verifying the invoice against the quote, chasing credit notes for returns, and updating the repair status in your system. This keeps your skilled staff on the floor and out of the office.
Are your coordinators trained on Australian software like iBodyshop or Audatex?
Yes. Our coordinators are specialists in the Australian tech stack. They are proficient in iBodyshop, Planning Plus, and Audatex, as well as the various insurance portals used by major AU carriers (NRMA, Suncorp, Allianz, etc.). They log directly into your system to ensure your parts board is 100% accurate in real-time, meaning your data is always audit-ready.
How does the cost compare to hiring a local parts manager in Australia?
Hiring a qualified parts manager in major hubs like Sydney, Brisbane, or Melbourne currently costs upwards of $90,000 – $110,000 AUD once you factor in Superannuation, Payroll Tax, and WorkCover. By moving to a remote Variable Cost Model, you eliminate these heavy fixed overheads. You pay only for the procurement power you need, typically reducing your administrative labor costs by 40–60%.
Can a remote coordinator manage my relationships with local AU dealerships
Absolutely. Our coordinators act as an extension of your front office. They handle all the “high-friction” tasks—emailing local Holden, Toyota, or BMW dealerships, tracking backorders, and negotiating with aftermarket suppliers across AEST/AWST time zones. Because they aren’t distracted by walk-in customers or ringing phones, they are often more persistent in chasing suppliers than an over-tasked on-site manager.
Will they be available during our morning production meetings?
Our teams work on your schedule. More importantly, we often work ahead of your shop. While your bays are closed, our coordinators are reconciling the previous day’s deliveries and updating statuses. When you walk into your 8:00 AM production meeting, you won’t be guessing. You’ll have a clear list of what has arrived and what is delayed, allowing you to plan your day with total certainty.
