Automate Spare Parts Fitment Lookup via WhatsApp

tarkapp.com

In the auto-parts wholesale business, order entry is rarely as simple as typing in a part number. Mechanics and sub-dealers usually order via WhatsApp using descriptions like 'front brake pads for 2019 Swift Dzire diesel.' Your data entry team must then manually translate that vague description into an exact OEM or aftermarket SKU by cross-referencing catalogs, checking ERP inventory, and drafting the order.

This manual fitment lookup process is slow, prone to errors, and creates a massive bottleneck for B2B distributors. While some consumer-facing websites offer basic part finders, they don't integrate with a distributor's actual ERP or pricing tiers.

AI-Powered Fitment Matching on WhatsApp

TarkApp automates this complex workflow directly within WhatsApp. When a retailer or mechanic texts an order with vehicle details, TarkApp's AI engine parses the make, model, and part description. It then performs a fuzzy search against your ERP's (like Tally or Marg) fitment and cross-reference master data to find the exact matching SKU.

Once the correct part is identified, TarkApp checks live inventory, applies the retailer's specific B2B discount, and automatically drafts the Sales Order in your ERP. Your warehouse gets a precise picking list with the correct SKU, and your buyer gets an instant, accurate order confirmation without your team ever opening a catalog.

Frequently asked

How does it handle vague part descriptions?

TarkApp uses AI fuzzy matching to interpret the buyer's text (e.g., 'i20 2015 clutch') and cross-references it against your ERP's specific product master to find the closest SKU match.

Can it map aftermarket parts to OEM requests?

Yes. If your ERP (like Tally or Marg) contains cross-reference data linking OEM part numbers to your aftermarket inventory, TarkApp can map the WhatsApp request to the correct available SKU.
