Shop for equipment online

The Peerless Group launched additional functionality to its Web site, www.thepeerlessgroup.us, with ePartz, a web portal for overstocked spare parts for Peerless Group machines. Users can search a subset of the Peerless inventory database and locate items at very attractive prices that are either hard to find or no longer carried by traditional OEM stocking distributors. Once the user accesses ePartz, they can search listed inventory. To buy, click on the “Buy It” button. A screen asks for contact information; Peerless takes care of the rest. A support person contacts the user to arrange shipment.
