AI sales software for automotive parts distribution

More revenue per workshop visit

A workshop buys brakes when a car is on the lift. It buys oil every week. Acto tells the two apart and shows where you lose revenue on repair parts, wear items or part pairs.

Signals your field team sees every morning

Example: Autohaus Meyer has ordered much less oil and washer fluid for six weeks, while brakes continue as usual. With the same workload, the consumables are going to a cheaper competitor.

Example: An independent garage buys brake discs from you but hardly any pads. Discs and pads are replaced together, so the pads come from elsewhere.

Run campaigns for tire season, A/C service or lighting checks exactly when your shop customers need them.

Acto speaks the language of auto parts distribution

A shop buys brakes when a car with exactly that problem is on the lift. It buys oil every week. Acto tells the two apart and assesses every shop accordingly.

  • Repair partsVehicle-specific and event-driven, for example brake rotors for a Golf.No reorder signal per item, because the single item is random. Acto looks at the product group across all vehicles, such as the share of brakes in the shop's purchasing.
  • Wear items and consumablesEngine oil, washer fluid, wiper blades, brake fluid: ongoing demand, closer to a commodity.Reorder cycles and volumes compared with similar shops.
  • Part pairsRotors and pads, timing belt and water pump are replaced together.A signal when only one part of the pair is bought from you.
  • Shop typeIndependent repair shop, dealership, tire specialist, fleet operator.Peer groups by shop type.
  • Seasonal windowsTire changes in spring and fall, A/C service before summer, batteries in winter.Campaigns at the right time, no false alarms out of season.
  • ReturnsWrong orders from the catalog are common.A rising return rate is shown as a warning before the visit.

FAQs

Do you have any questions?

We're here for you!

  • Which automotive parts companies is Acto a good fit for?

    Acto is ideal for independent parts wholesalers (IAM), tire wholesalers and workshop equipment manufacturers who manage a wide range of products and many B2B customers.

  • How does Acto deal with the high return rate in the parts trade?

    Acto shows a rising return rate as a warning before the visit. Sales can address delivery quality and wrong orders before the workshop switches supplier.

  • Does Acto treat brakes and oil the same way?

    No. Repair parts such as brake discs for a specific vehicle are only ordered when needed, so Acto assesses them at product-group level across all vehicles. Wear items and consumables such as engine oil have regular cycles and are assessed by reorder and volume.
