why central exists

Parts catalogs aren't built on titles and brand names.

They're built on the fields a mechanic or DIY buyer actually filters for. Vehicle fitment (make/model/year/engine), OEM cross-reference, ECE R90 / E-mark / TÜV, dimensions, friction class, load index, speed rating.

Your supplier row has the SKU, title, GTIN, and brand. Every other field is empty, vague, or copied from a marketing bullet that won't survive a return.

six jobs central does for automotive parts

The work your team stops doing manually.

Each job ships a verified output, not a draft. Sources attached, confidence per fact, marketing hype refused until the record can prove it.

01

Fitment as make/model/year/engine — not "fits most cars"

Stop publishing vague compatibility. Central pins each fitment row to a make · model · year · engine · KBA-number tuple — verified against TecDoc.

KBA-TSN0603 · AUV
02

OEM cross-references — verified and deduplicated

"Replaces 5Q0698151" isn't enough. Central pulls every OEM cross-reference, normalizes formatting (dashes, spaces, prefixes), and removes duplicates.

03

ECE R90 / E-mark / TÜV — sourced

The certifications that decide whether the part is road-legal. Each comes back with the full approval number, issuer, and date — checked against the cert document.

Dimensions parsed — not pasted

Pad thickness, disc diameter, tire size. Central parses values like "205/55 R16" or "17.4 mm" into structured fields with units — never as marketing text.

Tire sidewall code — fully decoded

For tires Central extracts load index, speed rating, temperature class, and EU label from the sidewall code — no manual lookups, no guesses.

Marketing claims held at the gate

"OE-quality." "Premium-grade." "Direct OE replacement." Held, narrowed, or removed until the record matches a TecDoc category and a verifiable source.

Frequently asked

How does Central handle TecDoc fitment data?

+

Central maps each part to its TecDoc category and verifies the make/model/year/engine tuple against TecDoc-style references. Every fitment row comes back with a vehicle, engine code, year range, and KBA-TSN when available — and with the source attached.

What about ECE R90 / E-mark certification?

+

Approval numbers like E1 09R-03 0234 are stored as structured fields, not free text. Central checks the issuer, the year, and the type-approval reference against the cert document so the value can be re-verified later.

How are OEM cross-references handled?

+

Central pulls every OEM cross-reference from the manufacturer, supplier, and catalog sources, normalizes formatting (dashes, spaces, prefixes), de-duplicates, and groups by OE manufacturer (VAG, BMW, Stellantis, etc.). You get one canonical list, not a free-text string.

Does Central distinguish aftermarket from OE / OE-equivalent?

+

Yes. Marketing claims like "OE-quality" or "direct OE replacement" stay held, narrowed, or removed until the record matches a TecDoc category and an OE supplier mapping. The default confidence threshold is 0.85.

Which channel outputs are supported?

+

Native: Google Merchant Center, Bing Merchant Center, ChatGPT Shopping, Perplexity Shopping. Any other destination (Autodoc, Kfzteile24, MisterAuto, RockAuto, Amazon Automotive, Shopify metafields) is custom-feed-ready with the TecDoc-style schema.
