We sell parts, not vehicles. Is this the right page?

Yes. The work we have done in this industry is on the parts side, for a wheel hub manufacturer, and it covers the catalogue, the dealer portal and the printed price list. Dealer management software for vehicle sales is a different product and we would say so rather than stretch to fit.

Can the catalogue handle OE and cross references?

Yes, and it is usually the reason a custom system is built rather than bought. A reference can carry its OE numbers, competitor equivalents, supersessions and the vehicles it fits, and all of them are searchable. A generic store search cannot do this because it was never built for it.

Can we still produce a printed catalogue?

Yes. The PDF catalogue and the price list are generated from the same data the website uses, so they cannot drift apart. This is the part most people expect to lose when they move online and it is usually what they miss most.

Can different distributors see different ranges and prices?

Yes. Range, price and visible stock are all tied to the account, so a distributor in one territory sees something different from one in another. Nobody sees what anybody else pays.

We have stock in more than one warehouse. Does that work?

Yes. Availability can be shown per location, with reserved and incoming quantities kept separate, so a dealer sees what can actually be shipped rather than a total that includes stock they cannot have.

Can it connect to the accounting or ERP we already use?

Usually yes. Orders can become invoices without anyone retyping them, and stock can be read from where it already lives. We check your specific software before quoting rather than promising it in advance.

How long does a catalogue and dealer portal take?

The project we did in this industry ran to 90 business days. That range is realistic when the scope is similar, and it grows with the number of modules and integrations. The scope document gives you a date for your own case.

How much does a project cost?

There is no price list, because the scope decides it. How many screens there are, who logs in, which other systems it has to talk to and who maintains the content all move the number. After the first call and the technical review you get a document with the price and the timeline in it, and you read that before anything is signed.

How long does it take?

The scope document gives you a date, and it is written after we have seen what the work actually involves rather than before. What moves that date is usually not the building. It is how quickly content, logins and approvals come back from your side, so we agree who is responsible for what at the start.

The source code is yours. Ownership of the software transfers to you under the terms of the contract once development is complete and payment has been made in full. Those terms, and the confidentiality clauses, are in the contract signed before development begins.

Automotive Parts Catalogue and Dealer Portal Software

We build catalogue and dealer systems for automotive parts suppliers, where a dealer finds the right reference without calling to ask.

What We Build for Automotive Suppliers

Parts are found by number, not browsed by category. These are the parts that make it a different system.

A Parts Catalogue People Can Actually Search

Thousands of references, searched by OE number, by cross reference or by vehicle. The person on the other end finds the part without calling to ask which one fits.

A Dealer and Distributor Portal

Each dealer logs in, sees the range they are entitled to, their own prices and the stock behind them. The orders that used to arrive by phone and email arrive in the system instead.

Technical Data and Fitment

Dimensions, materials, certificates and which vehicles a part fits, held against the part rather than in a folder somebody maintains by hand.

Stock Across More Than One Warehouse

What is in each location, what is reserved and what is on the way. A dealer sees availability rather than a promise.

Price Lists per Dealer and Region

Different territories and different agreements carry different prices. The price comes from the agreement rather than from whoever answers the phone.

A Catalogue You Can Print

The same data produces the PDF catalogue and price list the trade still asks for, generated rather than rebuilt by hand every season.

Where Are You Starting From

Both situations are routine for us. Tell us which one applies and we will shape the first call around it.

Get a Quote References

From First Call to Project Start

The process runs in five steps, in the same order on every project. You can stop after any of them.

Short Phone Call

15 Minutes

You outline how your range is managed and how dealers order today. We ask a few questions and tell you whether a custom system is worth building for it. If it is not, you hear that on the same call.

Technical Review

45-60 Minutes

We go through the detail together. How many references, how cross references are held, how prices are agreed per territory, what your accounting software is, and what has to keep working while we build.

Scope Preparation

Before Any Commitment

You receive a document that states what will be built, in what order, on what timeline, and at what cost. You read it before anyone signs anything.

Agreement Signing

One Document

The agreed scope becomes a signed contract. The confidentiality and intellectual property terms are set out in the same document, rather than in a separate one or at a later stage.

Project Start

Same Month

Development starts and we deliver working software at regular intervals. A preview environment goes up within the first week, so you can follow progress in the product itself.

Start with a Call

Every system we write is built for one company. We do not sell a ready-made product. Tell us what you want to do and we will reply the same working day, and you get the scope, the timeline and the price in writing before anything is signed.

What You Get From It

You do not need the technical side to judge this. Here is what changes on the business side.

Quotes and Orders Stop Going Through One Person

The catalogue answers the questions that used to go to the one colleague who knew the range. That person gets their week back.

Dealers Serve Themselves

Availability, prices, technical data and order history are in front of them. The calls that used to interrupt the day stop arriving.

Fewer Wrong Parts Shipped

Fitment and cross references are on the record, so the order is checked against the vehicle rather than against memory. Returns cost more than the margin on the part.

You Can See What Each Territory Buys

Which references, how often, at what value. The conversation about a distributor agreement starts from the figures.

A New Season Does Not Mean a New Spreadsheet

New references, new prices and a new printed catalogue come out of the same data, rather than out of a file somebody edits for three weeks.

The Range Is Not Locked in One Person's Head

Cross references, fitment and supersessions live in the system. The business keeps running when the person who knew it all is away.

Choosing a Company for This Work

The questions to put to anyone quoting for a parts catalogue, and the commitments we make on each of them.

We Say When You Do Not Need This

If you carry a short range and sell to a handful of accounts, a spreadsheet is cheaper than anything we would build. You will hear that on the first call.

We Have Built This Exact Thing

A product catalogue and dealer portal for a wheel hub manufacturer, with PDF catalogue output and dealer-specific ranges. The case study is on this site.

It Connects to the Accounting You Already Use

Your accounting and stock systems stay where they are. We build the catalogue and dealer side and connect the two, so nothing has to be switched off.

Scope Before Signature

You know the scope, the timeline and the price before you commit. We would rather lose the project at the scoping stage than argue about what was included halfway through it.

Code Ownership in Writing

Who owns the code, and whether we may name the work as a reference, are both settled in the contract before the first line is written.

A Codebase Someone Else Can Pick Up

We stay inside the conventions the ecosystem already has and we do not invent project-specific abstractions nobody else would know. Any developer can continue the project without a rewrite.

Frequently Asked Questions

An automotive parts business runs on references rather than on products. The same hub carries an OE number, three competitor equivalents, a supersession from two years ago and a list of vehicles it fits, and the buyer may arrive holding any one of those. A catalogue that cannot be searched from all of them sends people back to the phone, which is where the cost actually sits.

A system built for this trade starts from the reference and hangs everything else off it. Fitment and cross references make the catalogue searchable, the dealer account decides which range and which price appear, stock is shown per warehouse so availability means something, and the printed catalogue is generated from the same data rather than rebuilt by hand each season.
