Direct Answer
Auto parts and service software stands on fitment data. We build catalog, fitment matching, inventory and service orders so a customer or counter staff can confirm a part fits a specific vehicle before the order is placed, not after it is returned.
Suitable For
- Parts distributors and retailers needing OEM number and vehicle fitment search
- Repair shops and service chains needing job cards, parts consumption and technician scheduling
- Dealers or fleets needing vehicle records, maintenance history and reminders
Not Suitable For
- Products depending on licensed OEM catalog data the client has no right to use
- Vehicle diagnostics requiring certified OBD hardware we do not manufacture
Core modules and the data each one owns
| Module | Scope, data and rules it owns |
|---|---|
| Parts catalog | Part number, OEM cross-reference, brand, specification and media; the cross-reference table is what makes search usable. |
| Fitment | Year, make, model, engine and trim mapping to parts, with the confidence level of each mapping recorded so uncertain matches can be flagged rather than silently sold. |
| Inventory & purchasing | Multi-location stock, reorder points, supplier lead time and purchase order tracking. |
| Service job card | Vehicle intake, symptom, inspection result, quoted work, approval, parts consumption and labour hours. |
| Technician & bay scheduling | Technician skills, bay capacity, job duration estimates and the queue for walk-ins versus appointments. |
| Customer & vehicle history | Vehicle records per customer, service history, and maintenance reminders based on mileage or elapsed time. |
Step-by-step Process
- Send the current workflow, the roles involved and where the process breaks down today
- We map the data model, the modules needed at launch and what can wait for a later phase
- Confirm scope, integrations, acceptance criteria, source-code ownership and deployment responsibility
- Iterative build with demos at each milestone, then functional, compatibility and performance testing
- Deployment, source-code and documentation handover, then an agreed maintenance path
Buyer Checklist
- One primary user workflow and one admin workflow defined for the first release
- Role and permission matrix agreed before development, enforced in the backend
- Integration accounts and API credentials confirmed as available
- Data migration source, format and volume reviewed
- Acceptance criteria written per module, not per screen
- Source-code ownership, deployment responsibility and maintenance scope stated in the contract
Information Needed for Quotation
- The workflow you want to replace or build, and who performs each step
- User roles and what each role may see and edit
- Platforms required at launch (web, mini program, iOS, Android, desktop)
- Systems to integrate: payment, ERP, WMS, hardware, accounting, third-party APIs
- Existing data to migrate, its current format and rough volume
- Whether source-code handover and self-hosting are required
Frequently Asked Questions
Can customers search parts by their vehicle?
Yes, given fitment data you own or license. We build the year–make–model–engine selector and the OEM cross-reference search on top of it. The data quality determines the result quality, so its source should be settled before scoping.
Can the workshop and the online store share stock?
Yes. Both consume the same inventory module, with parts reserved when a job card is approved so counter sales cannot take a part already committed to a booked repair.
Which platforms do you build for this industry?
Web store with fitment search for parts buyers, web or desktop console for the counter and workshop, Android tablet build for technicians, WeChat mini program or app for customer booking and history, plus an admin panel.
What can you integrate with?
Payment gateways; supplier price and stock feeds where provided; logistics tracking; SMS reminders for service due dates; accounting export; barcode scanning for parts picking.
Will we own the source code?
Source-code handover, repository access, deployment notes and database documentation can be included in the agreed scope. State it in the brief so it is priced in rather than added later.
Can you take over an existing system instead of rebuilding?
Yes. We start with a code and environment review, then propose a scoped plan for bug fixes, refactoring, UI rework or new features. Rebuilding is only recommended when the review shows the existing codebase cannot carry the roadmap.
