the brief

A leading Fortune 500 automobile manufacturer faced the daunting task of managing an intricate network of over 16 million auto parts across 2000 dealerships. The primary goal was to establish a system that could efficiently synchronize and update complex data pertaining to parts, assemblies, and vehicle specifics such as make, model, year, engine, and trim.

Data Accuracy: Ensuring precise matching of vehicle specifications (make, model, year, engine, and trim) to the correct parts and assemblies.

Customization Needs: Providing a platform for approximately 2000 dealerships, each requiring a tailored online storefront that accurately calculates taxes and facilitates payment distribution to dealers.
