Quote a Client's Parts List in Minutes
A shop owner sends a list of parts they need — a PDF, an Excel file, or a CSV of parts and specs. It may run to hundreds of lines: year, make, model, engine, drivetrain, position, and the quantities they want. Keying that into a quote by hand eats a morning and invites typos. The shop owner is on the phone while your counter staff retypes line by line.
Quotery's AI reads the client's list as soon as it arrives and extracts every line. It matches each part against your catalog, alongside fitment attributes and compliance details, and drafts the quote in under a minute. Your team reviews the matches, adjusts, and sends — no retyping, no spreadsheet ping-pong. Anything the AI is unsure about stays flagged for your reviewer to confirm.
One client list in. A ready-to-send quote out. No portal switching. No hunting part numbers across three browser tabs.
Fitment That Gets the Right Part the First Time
A 2018 F-150 with the 5.0L takes a different alternator than the same truck with the 3.5L EcoBoost. The brake rotors changed mid-year. The aftermarket AC compressor fits only with a specific adapter harness. Your counter guy has been looking up parts for six hours straight. One wrong fitment and the part comes back. The return eats the margin on the next three orders.
Quotery supports structured fitment attributes on every product. Year range. Make. Model. Submodel. Engine. Transmission. Drivetrain. Position. When a salesperson adds a part that does not match the vehicle on the quote, the system flags it before the quote reaches the customer.
The right part ships the first time. Returns from wrong fitment drop. Your counter staff stops dreading the phone call that starts with "the part doesn't fit."
Supersessions That Do Not Eat Your Margin
Manufacturers supersede part numbers constantly. The old number is discontinued. The new number replaces it. Sometimes it is a straight swap at the same cost. Sometimes the new part costs 18% more and nobody noticed until the invoice landed. The customer was quoted at the old cost. You eat the difference.
Quotery tracks supersession chains at the product level. When a customer orders the old number, the system surfaces the replacement with the current cost. If the new part costs more than the quoted price, margin impact is shown before you send the quote.
No more discovering you lost money on a line item after the part ships. No more explaining to the shop owner why the price changed.
Multi-Supplier Price Comparison Without the Spreadsheets
Most independent parts distributors buy from a dozen or more suppliers. Worldpac. IMC. AutoZone commercial. The local dealer. A specialty supplier for European parts. Every supplier has different pricing for the same part on the same day. Your purchasing agent is checking three portals, two phone calls, and a text message to find the best cost.
On every quote, Quotery surfaces the best cost across the suppliers you carry. When one supplier runs a promotion on brake pads and another has better pricing on rotors, your salespeople see it without checking three separate portals. Your cost basis stays current, so the margin you quote reflects what you will actually pay.
Your margin stays intact. Your purchasing agent stops being a price comparison engine and starts being a buyer.
Core Charges and Returns That Do Not Leak Money
Core charges are a fact of life in auto parts. Alternators. Starters. Brake calipers. Steering racks. The customer pays the core up front and gets it back when they return the old unit. But cores age on the books. Customers forget to return them. Nobody tracks what is outstanding until month-end. A $50 core charge multiplied by 200 unreturned units is $10,000 leaking out of your business.
Quotery tracks core charges as separate line items tied to the original sale. Open core returns age on the customer account. Customers with unreturned cores get flagged before the next quote goes out. Payment via card, ACH, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. D+2 settlement standard. Instant payout available.
Every core dollar tracked. Every return window enforced. Cash flow stays predictable even as core deposits cycle in and out.
Emissions Compliance That Keeps Your Customers Legal
Emissions compliance is not optional. CARB in California. EPA federally. A catalytic converter that is legal in Texas may not be legal in New York. Selling a non-compliant part into a regulated state creates liability for your customer and for you. The shop owner gets fined. The shop owner stops buying from you.
Quotery supports compliance tagging at the product level. CARB EO numbers. EPA certification. When a quote includes a product that may not meet emissions standards for the vehicle's registered jurisdiction, the system flags it before the quote goes out.
Your customer gets the right part for their state. You do not get the chargeback. The shop owner keeps coming back.
