Automotive

Unified automotive commerce, built for real complexity.

Fitment data that drifts. ERP and storefront out of sync. Wholesale, DTC, and POS on separate stacks. We build the architecture that resolves it - natively on Shopify.

The challenge

Where automotive commerce gets complex

Fitment outside the data model

When fitment logic lives in a connector layer rather than the core data model, it drifts. ERP updates, PIM restructures, and vendor feed changes push compatibility data out of sync with the storefront. Wrong-part returns follow.

Catalog scale without search degradation

Most search implementations perform acceptably below 100K SKUs. Above 500K, relevance breaks and zero-result pages leak revenue that never shows up in analytics - just exit rates.

Multi-buyer operations on separate stacks

Wholesale, DTC, and POS running as separate systems means tripled integration surfaces, pricing discrepancies, and every catalog change applied three times.

Architecture

One architecture. Every buyer type. Every channel.

Fitment as a first-class data layer

Teifi Parts embeds YMM into Shopify's data model - persistent vehicle selection, fitment-filtered search, and SKU-to-application mapping at scale.

Multi-buyer selling from a single store

Shopify B2B for trade accounts, standard DTC for retail customers, and POS for counter sales - all on the same platform, same inventory, no duplication.

ERP and supplier data connected

Teifi Bridge handles integration to NetSuite, SAP, and aftermarket data suppliers - syncing pricing, inventory, and catalog updates without manual intervention.

Catalog scale that doesn't degrade UX

500K+ SKUs with fitment filtering that stays fast. Structured catalog taxonomy, metafield-driven attributes, and search built for parts - not generic products.
