Build aftermarket parts fitment from supplier data

Import supplier fitment in any format, map their vehicle naming to your vehicle list once, and build structured fitment on every aftermarket part.

Build aftermarket parts fitment from supplier data

Supplier fitment files rarely match your vehicle list. SKULaunch imports supplier fitment data in whatever form it arrives, maps it to your vehicles, and builds clean fitment for each aftermarket part, ready for your site and marketplaces.

The problem

Each parts supplier uses its own vehicle naming, year formats and engine codes. One sends a spreadsheet, another an export from their catalogue system, another a PDF. Matching all of that to the vehicle list your website uses is skilled, slow work, and errors show up as parts listed against the wrong cars.

Before and after

An illustrative example from two suppliers of filters.

Before: two supplier formats

Supplier A: "VW GOLF VII 1.4TSI 12-20". Supplier B: "Volkswagen | Golf | 2013 | 2019 | CZCA".

After: in SKULaunch

  • Both mapped to your vehicle list: Volkswagen Golf, generation 7, 1.4 TSI
  • Year ranges normalised to one format
  • Engine codes kept where supplied
  • Conflicts between suppliers raised for review

How it works in SKULaunch

  1. Import supplier fitment. Load files in the supplier's format.
  2. Map to your vehicles. Match makes, models, generations, years and engines to your list, and save the mapping per supplier.
  3. Build fitment. Create structured fitment rows on each part.
  4. Review and publish. Check conflicts and gaps, then publish.

Map vehicles once per supplier

The expensive part of fitment is vehicle matching, and it repeats every time a supplier updates. Saving each supplier's vehicle mapping, the way you would save a column mapping, means updates import in minutes and the same naming decisions are applied consistently across files.

What changes

Supplier fitment arrives in your structure, and new parts go live with fitment from day one.

Common questions

Is fitment included?

Fitment is available as an add-on.

What if suppliers disagree on fitment?

Conflicts are raised for review rather than merged silently.

Does this work for Australian and UK vehicle data?

Yes. Fitment maps to the vehicle list your market uses.
