FOR AFTERMARKET MANUFACTURERS AND DISTRIBUTORS

Easier to find.
More revenue potential.

More precise links. Fewer incorrect orders.
With OE, fitment and verified VIN2Parts data.

TESTED ON REAL DATA

Not theory. A result.

  • 18,839gaps identified and classified in a real customer project
  • 12,976of them can be entered straight away: pure data maintenance, no new product needed (69%)
  • 5,605genuine range gaps: an article is missing here (30%)
  • 81.4%market coverage of the range, weighted by the German vehicle population (KBA registration data)

On top of that came 2,047 supersession chains without a successor that should be checked. We are happy to show further figures and a live example in a personal conversation. Get in touch

MISSING LINKS. UNTAPPED POTENTIAL.

The part is there.
The link is missing.

As long as the link is missing, it sits on the shelf. Once it is found, it is sold.

The matching article exists, but nobody finds it. PartGap closes these gaps using OE references and cross-references, OE replacements and fitment data. Supersessions of OE numbers are taken into account as well, across brands and sources and independent of your catalogue system.

01 /The key point

Easier to find.

Anyone searching for an OE number that is not on file for your article will find parts, just not yours. With complete references and supersessions, your article shows up. What cannot be found cannot be sold.

02 /

More revenue potential.

Additional vehicle applications and targeted additions to your range open up new sales opportunities, largely with parts you already have.

03 /

Fewer incorrect orders.

More precise links to the right vehicles make sure the right part is ordered the first time.

04 /

More sustainability.

Every incorrect order avoided saves a return shipment and a re-shipment: fewer transports, less packaging, less CO₂.

THE DATA SPACE · THE HEART OF PARTGAP

Millions of connections.
Gaps that glow.

Where others see data,
we see connections.

Grown over years and larger with every project: a body of data in which every missing link lights up. As a gap that can be closed.

We are happy to show you in person what this looks like for your own range. Get in touch

MARKET DATA ONLY

Market data shows you
what people searched for yesterday.

  • only as good as the data that was fed in
  • if a link is missing there, it stays invisible
  • shows demand, but not which part fits

PARTGAP · WITH OE DATA

PartGap shows you
what fits today.

  • OE parts data and supersession chains as the foundation
  • verified VIN2Parts data from real vehicles
  • finds links that are not maintained in any catalogue

FOR PRODUCT MANAGEMENT IN THE AFTERMARKET

Real vehicles.
Verified part links.

PartGap is a joint project by ProDevelop and Data Drive Automotive and works with OE parts data, OE replacements and fitment data. On top of that come verified VIN2Parts data from real vehicles: the link between one specific vehicle, its vehicle identification number (VIN) and the parts actually fitted to it.
