Alex Saladna is the co-founder and CEO of WickedFile, the accounts-payable and parts-reconciliation platform built for auto repair shops. He grew up in and around the family auto repair business, where he saw firsthand how profit quietly leaks out of a shop's back office: missed vendor credits, cores and returned parts that never get credited, off-matrix pricing, and parts that get bought but never sold or billed.
WickedFile is his answer to that problem. It sits between a shop's management system, its vendor invoices, and QuickBooks, and reconciles the three so owners can see the money other tools miss, before it walks out the door.
Alex writes about parts margin, vendor-credit recovery, and the economics of running a profitable shop. When he is not building, he talks shop profitability with operators and industry leaders.
