AutoParts.com Puts the Auto Parts Aisle Inside the DoorDash App

Published

The first full parts catalog built natively into DoorDash Marketplace, with the exact part for your car delivered in under an hour*

ROYAL OAK, Mich., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The auto parts aisle just moved into the DoorDash app, and AutoParts.com is the company that made it happen. On June 24, 2026, AutoParts.com brought its catalog of hundreds of thousands of parts live on the DoorDash Marketplace. It is the first time a complete auto-parts catalog has been built natively into DoorDash.

“This marks a significant inflection point for the industry”, remarked CEO Richard Keller, “for years e-commerce customers would have to wait days or even weeks to receive a part. People simply can’t wait that long when their car is out of commission. Life doesn’t stop just because your car won’t start. This partnership aims to rapidly get parts in the hands of DIYers, so that they can get the job done and get back on the road faster. Customers need parts fast, and that is exactly what this partnership allows us to do” Keller continued.

AutoParts.com’s geo-located inventory system, and its massive catalog, puts them in a uniquely strong position to fulfill at the rapid pace that DoorDash customers expect. “We built this system not only to offer the typical e-commerce experience, but to be a true last mile solution,” said Keller. In addition to the platform’s last mile capabilities, AutoParts.com offers a catalog with millions of parts on its site.

Last mile inventory availability is the result of a key partnership between AutoParts.com and The Automotive Parts Services Group (The Group) a national network of thousands of auto parts retailers and distributors, many of which are locally owned and operated. “We want to bring the Mom and Pops back to main street and give them a chance to compete in the e-commerce space, a space that they were boxed out of due to the complex technological capabilities required” remarked Keller.

“We couldn’t be more excited,” said COO Simon Savaya. Savaya knows firsthand the challenges that local auto parts stores face as the owner of Holbrook Auto Parts, a chain of several automotive after-market stores in Detroit. “AutoParts.com has given Holbrook the opportunity to sell our parts to a broader consumer base, providing an exciting new growth opportunity that we look forward to extending to other local retailers across the country” Savaya continued.

“With our first of its kind tech stack and DoorDash’s unmatched fulfillment capabilities, we truly believe that our partnership will deliver value for auto parts consumers and retailers across the country” said Savaya. That value is likely to increase over time, with the automotive aftermarket industry expected to grow to over $660 billion in the next 2 years.** “We believe that we are in a good position to continue to capitalize on a growing industry and serve customers at a speed that was previously unheard of in the aftermarket e-commerce world” Savaya continued, “the best is yet to come for AutoParts.com”.

To celebrate the new partnership, new customers to AutoParts.com on DoorDash get 20% off on orders $60+ with code AUTOPARTS. Up to $20. Now – 6/30.***

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

on

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
