Worldpac SpeedDial 1.0 Set up

SpeedDIAL is Worldpac’s Native Parts Catalog and fulfillment ordering system. Since it is a desktop application, it does require downloading and installing the application on each computer you plan to use it on. 

Watch the Setup Video Clip here. 

Step 1 - Setting up Worldpac SpeedDial

1. If you already use SpeedDIAL, then it will already be installed on your computer and you can skip ahead to Step 2.
2. If you already have a Worldpac account, but have never used SpeedDIAL, download the SpeedDIAL application here.
3. If you have never used Worldpac, you will need to request a Worldpac account by clicking here and then download the SpeedDIAL application. You will not be granted an account immediately and should expect the process to take about 3 days to a week.
