UnderCarExperts.com is a brand new e-commerce site by MomentumUSA, Inc., powered by the Ultimate Auto Parts Toolkit, a brand new turn-key solution for the aftermarket auto parts industry that seamlessly combines Shopify & ShowMeTheParts data.

In 2022, launching an e-commerce store is pretty straightforward for most industries, but not for the Automotive industry. The complexities of products offered along with the need to create an accurate fitment finder can leave even the best developers scratching their heads. Attempting to crack the code has been expensive and often ends in unfinished or ineffective solutions, frustrating owners and leaders alike. Ultimately, e-commerce often remains on the organization’s to-do list as a result of these headaches and roadblocks.

That was before the Ultimate Auto Parts Toolkit. By combining industry-leading ShowMeTheParts cataloging data with the easy to use Shopify platform, AmeriBRAKES was able to launch their new retail site, Under Car Experts, in a few weeks without the headache of having to manage and maintain multiple data sources. As product information is updated through ShowMeTheParts, the Ultimate Auto Parts Toolkit will update their site to reflect the latest changes in real time. Everything from product images to descriptions to SKU counts will be powered by existing ShowMeTheParts data. No more outdated listings or support headaches because of outdated data.

Luke Smith, CTO of MomentumUSA, Inc. on the new integration: “I have been asked to stand up multiple year-make-model lookup systems for e-commerce over the last ten years. Some were built from bare metal and some utilized platform-as-a-service. What they all had in common was a heavy ongoing maintenance burden for getting Content (ACES & PIES) updated. Even the “Automotive” e-commerce platforms don’t seem to understand how important it is to ingest AutoCare standards natively. Vertical Development has been ingesting and publishing my Content for years. Plumbing their ShowMeTheParts API service directly into Shopify (a non-automotive mainstream platform-as-service) is a brilliant way to leverage the strengths of both worlds – like chocolate and peanut butter. ”

As a manufacturer, there are few things more painful than having the parts your customer is looking for sitting in a warehouse or retail store. Many times the only barrier is not having an easy search tool in place for them to be identified and purchased. These lost sales opportunities are frustrating for everyone involved and can have a significant impact on your bottom line.

If this is a current pain point, let’s get a call scheduled so you can be free of this headache once and for all with ShowMeTheParts fitment guides.

See It & Try It…Before You Buy It

While we will cover a few of the features and benefits below, the best way to evaluate the impact ShowMeTheParts will have on your business is through a FREE live demo & consultation. Simply send us your fitment data file and we will create a working part lookup solution for you and your team to test out. You can submit your request by clicking here.

Another way to experience the power and ease of use of ShowMeTheParts is by testing out the solutions we have helped SKF, Timken, and Carquest implement. Once there, click on the Heavy Duty Applications tab and be sure to review how each guide uses the key features and customizations listed below to solve their part fitment needs. Finally, if there is a feature or data organization that you really like, be sure to mention it when submitting your request for a demo.

Key Features & Customizations

Part Search by Key Attributes

Our most popular and commonly used feature is our highly flexible key-attribute search. With attribute search, the limitations of year, make, and model lookup disappear, allowing fitment to be driven by specific part attributes like dimension or material.

To illustrate, consider a manufacturer who sells hoses in different diameters, lengths, or materials. While these parts can be connected by YMM or VIN, there are other use cases in which this information would not be available or relevant. The manufacturer might also sell bulk hose which wouldn’t make sense to connect to a specific YMM lookup. ShowMeTheParts can help visitors in each case to quickly find the parts that fit using each of the key attribute search feature.

As you can see, this feature alone can unlock many new sales opportunities. To see our attribute search in action, click on the Part Information tab and then Attribute Search on the SKF catalog

Organized to Fit & Showcase Your Catalog

One thing you’ll notice by looking at the examples highlighted above is that each fitment guide is organized in a different way. For some manufacturers, it makes sense to start with part type and then move to make, while others might prefer the opposite setup.

ShowMeTheParts was developed to be flexible, allowing you to organize and present your fitment data in the way that best suits your catalog. Our team of experts will review your fitment data and provide you with options that best align with your current catalog and needs.

Over 2500 Configurations

While we won’t get into each and every configuration, our thirty years of experience working in such a tight niche and with the largest suppliers in the aftermarket has allowed us to develop a wide range of solutions to meet every fitment challenge. Put simply, if there is a fitment need you have, we’ve likely already solved it for another customer and can quickly implement a solution for you.

Custom Themes & Brand Colors

When customers visit your fitment guide, it’s important to maintain your visual brand identity standards. ShowMeTheParts can be customized to match your brand using brand colors for tabs and throughout your guide.

E-commerce is booming across all industries. If your organization is still looking to get into the B2B e-commerce parts game, the ShowMeTheParts Pro plugin should be at the top of your list of options to explore.

In this article, we’ll cover the top 9 reasons customers choose ShowMeTheParts Pro for their business. Be sure to review all of them as the last few may surprise you.

1. Instant Boost to Customer Satisfaction

Your customers are busy tackling the tasks in their day-to-day professional and personal life and the last thing they want to do is wait on hold to check inventory, pricing, or place an order. By providing them with a platform where all of these things and more can be done from a smartphone or laptop, customer satisfaction and loyalty will instantly skyrocket.

2. Easily Convert Search Results to Sales

In the parts business, customers first need to identify the parts that will fit their application through fitment lookup. But once they find the parts they need, where can they go to complete the sale?

With the ShowMeTheParts Pro plugin, we’ve connected our industry leading fitment tool with online ordering to help you convert search results to sales. Once customers find what they are looking for they can simply proceed through the checkout process. Best of all, customers can place orders 24/7/365 without adding any additional staffing.

3. Allows Your Team to Work on Key Projects

How many projects are on your “to-do” list?

Owners and managers often become overwhelmed and frustrated as the list of future projects continues to grow. In many cases, the logjam is caused by the existing order processing system. They know they can’t pull staff away from the short term tasks needed to pay the bills in order to work on projects which will grow the business long term. And the list continues to grow.

By implementing ShowMeTheParts Pro, staff previously tasked with answering phone calls and manually processing orders can be freed up to work on other key projects. This moves the business forward and can increase employee satisfaction as they move from tedious tasks to more enriching and energizing work.

And don’t worry about difficult onboarding or staff training. ShowMeTheParts Pro is an easy to deploy, turn-key solution.

4. Reduces Mistakes & Errors

With each point of human data entry, the potential for mistakes and errors increases. A simple typo or verbal request not heard can become very costly to resolve.

ShowMeTheParts Pro can help you eliminate mistakes and errors as customers see each and every detail as they place their order. They’ll get exactly what they want and any mistakes or errors will be made by the customer, not your business.

5. Near Real-Time Inventory

For customers, “Do you have the part I need in stock?” is quite possibly their most important and frequently asked question. If not, they’ll need to move on to the next vendor in hopes of having their needs met. And is there anything more frustrating for customers than to place an order only to find out later that the vendor can’t fill it?

ShowMeTheParts Pro uses uploaded inventory totals or automatically ties in with your in-house inventory tool to show the end user currently available stock. This is a valuable feature for both customers and staff to quickly review inventory prior to completing a sale.

6. Password Protected, Tiered Pricing

Do you provide customers with different pricing based on their purchase volume? Or do you want to offer special pricing for a high-value customer?

Each of these can easily be achieved with ShowMeTheParts Pro.

Simply submit your list price along with prices for up to five tiers of customers and each logged-in customer will see their specific price point. Password protection will ensure customers can only see their pricing and can prevent competitors from scraping prices.

Finally, when changes are needed, your administrator can adjust prices or assign customers to price tiers for easy price updates and customer management.

7. Works for Your Industry

By selecting ShowMeTheParts Pro, you are partnering with experts in part fitment for anything that moves. From heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks to agriculture and off-road vehicles, you can count on ShowMeTheParts Pro to have solutions for your most complicated application data.

8. Pricing That Doesn’t Break the Budget

One barrier to entry that we hear a lot from our customers is that B2B e-commerce solutions are just too expensive. Even the options which tout low or minimal costs end up becoming very expensive when factoring in the internal staffing needed to make updates or changes.

We are confident that you will find the ShowMeTheParts Pro Plugin to be well within your budget. Existing ShowMeTheParts ecatalog customers can upgrade to Pro and enjoy all of the premium value-added features for a minimal additional cost per year.

Reach out to our sales team to set up a call to discuss just how affordable it will be!

9. Lightning Fast Launch

While the previous eight reasons are all important, the speed at which we can launch your ShowMeTheParts Pro platform is often the most surprising for our prospects. With ShowMeTheParts Pro, we can have you up and running in as little as a few days!

Just think about how nice it will be to have all of the benefits listed above working for your business, rather than against it. Call to discuss upgrading to ShowMeTheParts Pro today!

As a marketplace with annual auto parts and accessories sales exceeding $10B with no signs of slowing down, the tide has shifted from teams asking “Should we sell on Amazon?” to “How can we start selling on Amazon ASAP?”

At Vertical Development, we are experts in data fitment for the automotive aftermarket and can help you to navigate the process of loading your data onto Amazon in a quick, easy, and affordable way.

Solving Data Submission Errors

Uploading parts data is one of the first steps required to begin selling on Amazon.

If this step in the process has left you frustrated and confused, you aren’t alone. Just in the past few months, we’ve been approached by several companies that couldn’t get their data accepted on Amazon. For various reasons, they continued to run into roadblocks that delayed the project from launching.

By working with Vertical Development, you can rest easy knowing that our team can solve any issues you may be having. We’ll identify the necessary changes that need to be made to ensure you are supplying Amazon with clean data that is accepted within a few days.

“Right now, submitting ACES & PIES data to Amazon can be challenging,” notes Vertical Development founder and President Jay Wright. “However, Amazon uploads our data lightning quick and we do it every day for some of the leading manufacturers in the industry.”

Eliminating Costly Delays

Submitting parts data only to have it be rejected is not only frustrating, but also expensive.

Each day that passes as you wait for approval represents a day of lost sales opportunities. There’s nothing worse than having inventory on the floor of the Amazon warehouse—and on your books—without any possibility of being sold.

Without the sale, you also lose the ability to earn a positive customer review. On a marketplace like Amazon, these reviews play a vital role in building a strong brand reputation. Customers look to reviews for reassurance and may look elsewhere if they can’t find the social proof reviews provide.

Each one of these delays ultimately impacts your online sales success. When you partner with Vertical Development, you can rest easy knowing these costly delays will be solved within a few days from our clean data upload.

Drive Traffic to Amazon with ShowMeTheParts

Once you have your parts uploaded and available for purchase on Amazon, the next step is to drive traffic to your store. One way we help customers do this is by connecting the Buy Now button on their ShowMeTheParts catalog directly to their Amazon parts listings.

Users begin by searching for their fitment using your ShowMeTheParts catalog. Once they find the part they need, they can simply click Buy Now to complete the sale on Amazon.

This seamless integration can help you drive sales to your Amazon store while also creating a great user experience. It’s a win/win integration.

Pinpoint Accuracy

While year, make, and model search engines are commonplace, you likely have come across search results that require more digging to be done such as engine fitment. This slows you down and introduces an opportunity for error.

With ShowMeTheFilters, these pain points disappear! Not only do we offer more advanced search parameters, but our “Best in Class” intelligent software automatically selects the appropriate options with each desktop click or mobile tap you make. This not only makes it faster and easier to use, but eliminates dead ends caused by misclicks.

Watch how the input fields such as “Part Type” or “Engine” automatically update as you make each selection!

Zero Data Entry VIN Scanner

As we discussed in the last section, a single user misclick on other systems can lead to either the wrong product being used or a dead end which requires the search to be restarted.

By installing our ShowMeTheFilters mobile app on handheld devices, data entry becomes even faster and completely free of user error. Your team can simply scan the VIN barcode on the vehicle from within the app to get precise product results mapped to the year, make, model, and engine.

Head over to the closest vehicle and give the VIN scanner a try!

No Data Lag!

Many public and proprietary lookup tools often have a three to six month lag in application data. This can be especially frustrating as the next year’s models begin to roll into your shop, resulting in having to guess the right product or in simply losing the sale.

With ShowMeTheFilters you’ll have as close to real time data as exists in the market. As our manufacturing partners make new fitment data available, we are a first place it is delivered. Your team can confidently identify and replace the full range of maintenance parts to maximize efficiency and revenue.

An Unbiased Direct Comparison Tool

We’ll close this piece with one last key distinction that sets ShowMeTheFilters apart from the competition and which will hopefully earn your trust and everyday use. This distinction is that ShowMeTheFilters is a truly unbiased direct comparison tool. We don’t push certain brands to the top of the page nor do we try to show unrelated items. Our sole focus is to display accurate fitment information so you and your team can work efficiently and effectively.

We hope you’ve followed along and are already feeling comfortable using ShowMeTheFilters. And if you are finding value in ShowMeTheParts, please share it with others who might also benefit.
