Auto Parts Business Pack
The counter question is “will it fit?” — so that is what this pack answers.
A generic POS stores a part number and hopes the counter staff know the rest. The Auto Parts pack stores the fitment and the cross-references as data, so the answer survives the person who knew it leaving.
How the day actually runs
- 1A customer names a car, or hands you a part with a number on it.
- 2Search the part number, the OEM number, or scan the barcode — the till matches all three against the same catalogue.
- 3Check the fitment rows on the part: make, model, and the year range it covers.
- 4No exact match? The cross-reference rows point at the OEM, aftermarket, interchange or superseded number that replaces it.
- 5Sell it over the counter, or attach it to a Work Order for a garage customer.
- 6Core charge and warranty months ride on the line, so the return conversation months later has the numbers in it.

The parts built for this trade
Structured fitment
Vehicle compatibility rows on the part: make, model, year range and engine — as records you can search, not a free-text note.
Cross-references
Typed as OEM, Aftermarket, Interchange or Superseded, so “this replaces that” is explicit.
Counter lookup
A scan or search matches SKU, barcode or OEM number — the number printed on the old part is usually the only one the customer has.
Part condition
New, OEM Refurbished, Aftermarket, Used – Good, Used – Fair.
Core charges
A core charge field per part, for exchange-and-return lines.
Warranty
Warranty months per part, kept with the sale.
Trade customers
Work Orders, Repair Estimates, Parts Deliveries and Service Appointments.
Categories ready to use
Engine Parts, Brakes, Suspension, Electrical, Body Parts, Filters, Fluids & Lubricants, Tires & Wheels, Accessories, Exhaust — each with sub-categories.

What this pack does not do
- The fitment and cross-reference data is yours. AlphaTill gives you the structure and the screens; it does not ship a licensed catalogue of every vehicle ever built, and it does not decode a VIN for you.
- There is no live supplier price-and-availability feed. Suppliers, purchase orders and lead times are tracked in AlphaTill; the trade-portal lookup happens in your supplier’s own system.
And the part that has nothing to do with your trade
Whichever pack you pick, the database is on your computer: if our website or servers go down, your point of sale keeps working. You can keep trading through an internet outage, because selling, printing and inventory run against the database on your own machine. What does need us: activating AlphaTill on a new device, buying or changing a plan, and the customer portal.
