Automotive catalog & ecommerce

Launch an auto-parts catalog customers can trust.

We turn supplier files, vehicle fitment, images, inventory and pricing into one searchable catalog and connected online store.

Start with a working pilot in days after your source data passes a readiness check.

Why auto-parts data gets complicated

A part is more than a name and price.

Every sellable item can carry several identities, product details, vehicle applications and location-based selling rules. The hard part is keeping those layers connected.

01 · PRODUCT IDENTITY

Know which part it is

Brand, SKU, manufacturer number, UPC, OE number and cross-references.

02 · PRODUCT CONTENT

Show what customers need

Descriptions, specifications, features, images, documents and packaging.

03 · VEHICLE FITMENT

Know where it fits

Year, make, model, engine, submodel and important qualifiers.

04 · SELLING DATA

Sell from the right location

Price, stock, warehouse, store, pickup, shipping and core charge.

A better parts search

Let customers begin with the vehicle.

Choose a vehicle once, then show products supported by the available compatibility data. Customers can still browse by category, brand or part number.

  • Reduce guesswork before the product page
  • Keep the selected vehicle visible while browsing
  • Show uncertainty instead of inventing a match

A supported product-to-vehicle relationship is available for this sample.

Important: missing vehicle data is never treated as proof that a part is universal.

The catalog launch system

Raw files enter. Reviewable products come out.

Each stage solves one clear data problem. Your team can see what moved forward and what still needs attention.

  1. 01

    Bring data in

    Receive supported files, feeds and existing records.

  2. 02

    Clean the records

    Align identifiers, names, categories and formats.

  3. 03

    Add useful content

    Connect supported details, specifications and media.

  4. 04

    Map products & vehicles

    Connect categories and supported applications.

  5. 05

    Review exceptions

    Keep conflicts and missing information visible.

  6. 06

    Publish & update

    Move approved records into the catalog and store.

Supported intake patterns

Bring the files and systems your business already uses.

The exact connection depends on how each supplier or business system provides its data.

ACES, PIES and business data

Three layers. One useful catalog.

Industry standards help systems exchange information. Your licensed product and fitment data still provides the facts behind each record.

A
ACES®

Which vehicles does it fit?

Communicates product-to-vehicle applications and qualifiers.

P
PIES®

What is the part?

Communicates product descriptions, attributes, brands and packaging.

YOUR BUSINESS SYSTEM

Can this customer buy it here?

Connects inventory, price, warehouse, store and fulfillment.

CONNECTED OUTPUTSearchable product page

ACES and PIES are data standards, not a ready-made catalog. Product records and fitment applications must come from licensed supplier data, customer data, research or another approved source.

A practical first milestone

See your real catalog working before the full rollout.

Start with one selected brand, category or product group. We use it to prove the mapping, vehicle search, product pages and business-data connection.

Choose a Pilot Category

A working pilot can be prepared in days after authorized access, licensing and usable source data are confirmed. The full launch schedule depends on catalog size, integrations and review needs.

Built for a real auto-parts business

ProStock connects catalog, storefront and operations.

See how vehicle fitment, local inventory, pricing, customer ordering and back-office work come together in one system.

The ProStock work demonstrates how Sagiam can connect product data, vehicle fitment, local inventory, pricing, customer ordering and back-office operations. The same catalog foundation can support a focused pilot while the complete rollout is planned around your data and integrations.

Automation with clear controls

Handle repeated work. Keep important decisions visible.

Large catalogs need automation, but uncertain records should not be published silently. Sagiam uses rules, source evidence and review controls to keep the process understandable.

Automation helps organize and enrich catalog data. It does not independently guarantee final vehicle compatibility.

One connected platform

Build the catalog and the business experience around it.

Choose the parts your operation needs. The exact combination is planned around your systems and sales channels.

Customer catalog

Vehicle search, category browsing, product details and compatibility states.

B2B & B2C store

Accounts, carts, ordering, pickup and customer buying journeys.

Inventory & pricing

Warehouse, store, availability, price and scheduled updates.

Catalog admin

Products, brands, categories, vehicles, fitment and publication controls.

Data connections

Supported supplier feeds, business systems, scheduled files and APIs.

Operational visibility

Import results, exceptions, orders, returns and useful reporting.

Catalog coverage

Begin with broad licensed automotive catalog coverage.

Select the brands and categories your business needs, then confirm product content, vehicle fitment, images and regional availability during the data-readiness check.

Coverage varies by brand and source. We verify what is ready, what needs mapping and what requires review before publication.

Check your catalog source

Before you start

Questions automotive catalog teams ask.

Bring a supplier name, a sample file or an overview of your current system. That is enough to begin the discussion.

Ask about your catalog
Can Sagiam use our supplier files?

We can work with supported CSV, spreadsheet, XML, API, FTP and source-specific inputs. We first review the structure, identifiers, licensing and update process.

Do we need ACES and PIES files?

Not always. They are useful North American standards for exchanging fitment and product information, but some businesses begin with supplier exports or an existing database.

Can you add vehicle search to our existing website?

Yes, when the current platform can support the required catalog and fitment connection. We review the website, product database and available integration options first.

How quickly can we see a working pilot?

A focused pilot can be prepared in days after authorized access is available and the source data passes a readiness check. The complete production timeline is estimated after the scope, data quality and integrations are understood.

Can every product be mapped automatically?

No. Clean source records can move quickly, while missing identifiers, conflicting fitment or unclear classifications may need review. Those exceptions remain visible instead of being published as guesses.

Can inventory and prices update automatically?

They can be updated from a supported API, scheduled file, FTP source or business-system connection. The method and frequency depend on the source system and project scope.
