Aurora Parts simplifies receivables and scales success with Managed AR

Aurora Parts isn’t just keeping trailers on the road. It also has to keep a vast and growing network of fleets and dealers financially connected. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Lebanon, Indiana, Aurora Parts is North America’s largest original equipment supplier (OES) of aftermarket parts for heavy-duty commercial semi‑trailers and intermodal equipment.

With over 15,000 SKUs stocked at its 300,000 ft² headquarters and a broader e‑catalog exceeding 20,000 parts, plus five distribution centers and a network of 300+ dealers, Aurora serves fleets and technicians across the continent (in fact, Aurora supports over 30% of the U.S. trailer fleet). But, with that success came rapidly mounting complexity across their accounts receivable (AR) processes.

Fleets needed faster, more reliable ways to pay; dealers needed confidence they’d get paid on time; and, as Aurora continued to grow even more, adding new acquisitions and locations, manual AR processes weren’t just lagging, but actually riding the brakes.

“Accounting is critical. Everyone wants to get paid, and Corcentric helps ensure that happens — on time, every time.”
—Nick Skelton, Senior Platform Solutions Manager, Aurora Parts

Corcentric’s Managed Accounts Receivable solution became Aurora’s one-stop shop for invoicing, collections, and financing. The platform brought visibility, speed, and peace of mind to both ends of the transaction. Fleets now have the tools to pay quickly and easily, while dealers have full confidence that payments are coming – on time every time.

What makes Corcentric’s Managed AR unique is its combination of technology, business process transformation, and funding options. For Aurora, that means being able to establish credit limits with ease, fix days sales outstanding (DSO), minimize payment disputes, and onboard new customers and suppliers quickly through the Corcentric Platform. It’s not just automation — it’s predictability, control, and trust across their network. And it gives selling partners confidence that payments will be received on time, while Aurora gets to dictate the terms of when they receive funds effortlessly.

As Aurora’s business grew, Corcentric’s opportunities to streamline and increase AR efficiency grew right alongside it. From onboarding 50 new fleets in a month to adding 120 dealer locations, Corcentric’s team adapted quickly, providing seamless integration, enablement, and exceptional service every step of the way.

Aurora Parts expanded its AR program by more than 370% with Corcentric—growing nearly fivefold while improving visibility, reducing friction, and giving both dealers and fleets the confidence that payments would be made on time. The streamlined platform now supports large-scale onboarding and enables Aurora to manage growth without compromising performance.

“Corcentric hasn’t batted an eye. They’ve rolled with every punch and helped us bring hundreds of new locations online quickly and efficiently.”
