Automotive and Parts
Catalogue systems that match the right part to the right vehicle.
In spare parts, price is not the only obstacle to a sale: the buyer cannot be sure the part fits their own vehicle. That uncertainty produces returns, and returns are the most expensive line in this sector. In the systems we build the centre of the work is not the product page but the fitment data — matching on make, model, engine code, year of manufacture and trim. OEM numbers and cross-references are part of that data; built properly, a buyer can search by part number or by vehicle.
Problems we meet here04
- 01Buyers are unsure the part fits
- Where fitment data is missing or scattered the sale is lost — and where it is made, it comes back as a return.
- 02OEM and cross-references are scattered
- When equivalence sits in separate supplier lists, the same part appears more than once in the catalogue.
- 03Stock lives across several channels
- When your own site, marketplaces and dealers do not read the same stock, sold items keep selling.
- 04Product data arrives raw from suppliers
- Normalising supplier lists in different formats onto one schema is the invisible and largest part of the work here.
