Each year we host an annual user conference to bring our members together in order to share information and strengthen relationships.

Rapidpartsmart.com started over seventeen years ago as the Readily Accessible Parts Inventory Database or RAPIDŽ. In those days we had six customers and the vision to see that a service was needed to locate parts during urgent need situations and to reduce the surplus inventories that had accumulated as a result of cancelled power plant projects. Using telephones, modems, dial-up software and a lot of hard work, we were able transform RAPID into the largest part locating service for the power industry.

RAPID was an early pioneer on the Internet. Our Classic RAPID part locating service migrated to the Internet in 1996. Since that time we have continued to improve our service by adding features needed by our members. RAPID has positioned us to address the opportunities and challenges presented to our customers and ourselves by the Internet and e-Commerce. Today there are over 450 power plant sites and delivery facilities benefiting from our service. We look forward to our next twelve years and will continue to add the content, community and tools needed to add measurable value to our members.
