Autocar Parts and JIT Truck Parts
They struggled with a decline in organic traffic, page rankings, and overall visibility on their
SuiteCommerce Advanced site.
Client's Background
Autocar Parts and JIT Truck Parts, key divisions under the GVW Group, are major players in the heavy-duty aftermarket truck parts industry. Autocar Parts, part of the GVW Group family, specializes in distributing OEM and aftermarket parts for heavy-duty trucks, supporting industries that rely on vocational vehicles for demanding applications. With a broad product range and a strong presence in the U.S. market, these companies also operate multiple eCommerce websites like autocarpartsllc.com and JITTruckParts.com, all powered by NetSuite’s SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) platform.
Project Challenge
Faced with the challenge of managing a large and complex product catalog across their SCA sites, Autocar Parts and their affiliates required a solution to efficiently upload bulk items into their eCommerce systems. They partnered with the SCG Team to implement our custom Bulk Item Uploader SuiteApp, which was specifically designed to streamline and automate bulk product uploads.
- Manual Data Entry: Managing thousands of SKUs across multiple websites was inefficient due to manual data entry processes, leading to delays in updating the product catalog.
- Complex Product Catalog: With both OEM and aftermarket parts spanning numerous truck brands and models, maintaining accurate product information on their sites required frequent updates.
- Inconsistent Uploads: Without a streamlined process, product uploads often faced inconsistencies and errors, impacting customer experience and sales.
SCG Team's Solution
1. Custom SuiteCommerce Bulk Item Uploader SuiteApp
- The SCG Team developed a powerful Bulk Item Uploader SuiteApp, designed to simplify the process of uploading large numbers of SKUs directly into NetSuite’s SuiteCommerce Advanced system.
- Automation and Efficiency: The SuiteApp automates the process of uploading bulk items, allowing Autocar Parts and its affiliates to upload, update, and manage their product catalogs in a fraction of the time it took before.
- Error Reduction: By eliminating manual data entry, the SuiteApp reduced errors and ensured that product information—such as SKU details, pricing, descriptions, and inventory levels—was accurately uploaded to the eCommerce site.
2. Implementation Across Multiple Sites
- The solution was deployed across multiple sites, including autocarpartsllc.com, JIT Truck Parts, GVW Parts, and Aculocity, all of which operate on the SuiteCommerce Advanced platform.
- Custom Configurations: The SuiteApp was configured to meet the specific needs of each site, ensuring seamless integration with existing workflows and allowing for scalable product catalog management.
Outcomes
- Increased Efficiency: Autocar Parts, JIT Truck Parts, and other affiliates saw a dramatic reduction in the time required to manage and upload their extensive product catalogs. What once took hours or even days was now completed in minutes.
- Improved Accuracy: By automating the upload process, the risk of human error was significantly reduced, ensuring that customers always had access to accurate product information.
