Standard Connection
A better way for your customers to buy from you
Start with a standard connection that puts your catalog and pricing inside Aftermarket Scout for your existing customers.
There is no cost to connect. We never charge distributors for listing, integrations, or ongoing support.
Capture High-Intent Buyers
Expand Your Reach to New Prospects
When high-intent buyers search for hard-to-find parts or items that are out of stock elsewhere, we surface your inventory to ready-to-buy accessory shops. This turns missing stock at other distributors into a new customer account for your business.
Accelerate Your Sales Cycle
Remove friction from your buyers' workflow. We streamline the path from search to purchase so your customers spend less time on paperwork and more time ordering. Faster turnaround means more orders processed in the same day.
Instant In-App Ordering
If you offer an ordering API, authorized customers can check stock and place orders directly inside the Aftermarket Scout app. One interface for searching and buying, with no extra logins required.
Flexible Technical Integration
Whether you prefer a real-time API, automated FTP uploads, a hosted file URL, cloud storage sync like S3 or Drive, or scheduled report feeds, we handle the integration setup on our end. If you don't already have an API, we can help you develop one. You choose the format that fits your workflow.
Zero Extra Work for You
We maintain the platform and software, so you don't have to. Just provide the data feed, and we get your catalog in front of actively buying accessory shops. No engineering lift, no ongoing maintenance.
Seamless Integration with Shop Management Software
Empower your customers to access your product database directly within their shop software. By integrating inventory data and specific, negotiated pricing into their workflow, you deepen customer loyalty and make it easier than ever for them to buy from you — not your competitors.
Privacy-First Data Protection
Your competitive edge is protected. We never expose your sensitive inventory or pricing to the public or competitors. Pricing is exclusively for your authenticated, existing customers, ensuring your customer relationships and pricing integrity remain completely untouched.
Program
The Premier Distributor Program
For distributors who want more than a connection. Premier distributors get additional visibility with shops that are actively searching for parts, plus hands-on help getting your catalog and offers in front of them.
Highlighted in search results
When a shop searches for a part, we surface your inventory to potential new customers who aren't buying from you yet.
Seamless new account referrals
We direct interested shops to your site to request an account with you, so new relationships start on your terms.
Guided integration setup for your customers
We help set up the integration so your customers can search your inventory and order through Aftermarket Scout with less friction.
Promoted shipping & pricing incentives
Special shipping rates or pricing incentives get highlighted to shops right inside Aftermarket Scout.
