Data sources & channels
Bring the data you already have. Stop duplicating effort.
SPT is data-source agnostic. Pick the catalog source that matches how you operate today, and connect to the ingestion and export channels your supply chain already speaks. Switch sources later without rebuilding your storefront — your YMM widget, PDP blocks, and admin settings carry over.
Primary data sources
ACES / PIES
Industry-standard XML for fitment and product information. The most common source for parts manufacturers.
- · ACES 3.x and 4.x
- · PIES 6.x and 7.x
- · Full + incremental updates
ShowMeTheParts
API-based fitment and parts data. Good fit for retailers without their own ACES/PIES feed. 800+ supplier brands available.
- · VIN + license plate lookup
- · Ongoing Updates
CSV
Bring your own spreadsheet or export. The fastest path for stores with a small or custom catalog.
- · Combined or separate files
- · Configurable column mapping
- · Validation per upload
Ingestion & export channels
SFTP / FTP
Supplier file drops for catalog and price/inventory, plus outbound order files.
Inbound email
Attachment pickup for price & inventory, plus order delivery.
HTTP API
Outbound order delivery to ERPs, 3PLs, and homegrown systems.
Switch sources later without rebuilding your storefront. The configuration that drives your YMM search, PDP, and catalog sync is decoupled from the underlying connector.
See with your data.
We'll run a short demo against a sample of your ACES/PIES file, ShowMeTheParts feed, or CSV so you can see real fitment results before you decide.
