Software Solutions for Car Accessories and Care Sellers
Car accessories and care products divide into model-specific items, universal items and consumables. Sellers online need fit class on every listing, kits and bundles that hold together, fitting appointments tied to orders and carriage rules for liquids, long parcels and electronics.
Separate what fits one car from what fits all, and sell the install with it.
A driver shopping for a car accessory starts with the car. Some items are cut for it, some fit anything, and some are consumed and bought again. The catalogue has to keep those three apart.
Many sellers also fit what they sell, or know a studio that does. The order then carries a booking as well as a parcel.
Accessory and care retailers
A shop sells accessories and care products to drivers, in store and through a web store.
Dealers and fitment studios
A dealer or studio sells accessory packs with new cars and fits them on delivery.
Detailing and garage sellers
A detailing studio or garage sells the products it uses and the kits it recommends.
Brands and distributors
A maker or distributor supplies shops and studios with cartons, trade prices and refills.
The workflow for automotive accessories & care.
- 1
Choosing by car and by fit class
The buyer picks the car and sees model-specific items, universal items and consumables labelled apart.
- 2
Capturing options
Material, colour, paint code and pack size are stored on the order line.
- 3
Building kits and bundles
A kit draws each part from its own stock, so nothing leaves short.
- 4
Booking the fitting
Where the seller or a partner fits the item, a visit is attached to the order.
- 5
Packing and carriage
Long, fragile and liquid items follow carrier rules held in the store.
- 6
Following up
A return is judged by whether the item is unopened or fitted, and a reminder sets the next purchase.
The challenges, and what they cost.
What is specific to this trade.
These are requirements we would confirm in discovery. They describe what the solution may need to handle. They are not features that already exist.
- Fit class held as a field on every item
- Kits whose parts are stocked individually
- Fitting visits tied to orders
- Carrier rules for liquids, long parcels and electronics
- Trade prices for studios and garages
What we would build for automotive accessories & care.
Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.
Who works in the system, and what each can do.
What it would connect to.

Can the store show only accessories that fit my car?

Can a fitting be booked with the order?
Yes, with a studio or garage whose calendar can be shared. Otherwise the order notes a preferred date for staff to confirm.
