B2B e-commerce and data platform for automotive parts and repair
OEC operates a network connecting dealers, repairers, insurers, and OEM suppliers across the vehicle maintenance and repair lifecycle. The tech stack reveals a mature data infrastructure (Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt, Looker, Tableau) paired with backend services (Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot), signaling a shift toward data-driven operations and self-service analytics. Hiring velocity is accelerating across sales (34 open roles) and engineering (23), with active projects centered on data mesh architecture and serverless ETL — suggesting internal pressure to scale data quality and catalog consistency while modernizing legacy systems.

Founded in 2000 by four major auto OEMs (GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Bell & Howell), OEC launched CollisionLink in 2001 as the first e-commerce tool for collision shops to purchase OE parts, then expanded into D2DLink to connect dealerships nationwide. Today the platform spans multiple product lines serving dealers, repairers, manufacturers, insurers, and fleets. The company facilitates over $14B in North American e-commerce and over $30B in global trade annually. OEC is privately held with 1,001–5,000 employees, headquartered in Fairlawn, Ohio, and hiring across seven countries including Poland, India, and Canada.
OEC uses AWS, Dynamics 365, SQL, Python, Java, and Kotlin for backend systems. Data infrastructure includes Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt, and BI tools (Tableau, Looker, Power BI). Governance and cost management rely on CloudHealth and Cloudability.
Current projects include data mesh architecture, serverless ETL pipelines, dealer performance optimization, collision repair process development, parts catalogue data consolidation, and the RepairLogic and EstimateIQ SaaS platform expansion.
