Your Parts Desk Just Spent 9 Hours Finding One Serial Number
If you're managing aftermarket for dozers, compressors, or mill equipment, you know: every lookup is a phone tree, three PDFs, and a guess.
We build spare parts portals for industrial manufacturers -- serial number lookup, interactive BOMs, 3D parts diagrams, live ERP sync. The result: less downtime, fewer wrong-part orders.
Your technician lands on the portal at 2 AM. They type a serial number, drill into the BOM, spin a 3D exploded-view diagram, and add the exact seal to cart--live inventory, real price, order ships at sunrise. No phone tree. No PDF catalog guessing. Your spare parts portal connects directly to your ERP so every search hits current stock, supersession chains resolve automatically, and your parts desk stops playing human lookup table. It handles the 80% of orders that don't need expert intervention. Your team keeps the 20% that actually require judgment. Downtime shrinks. Return rates drop. Your aftermarket margin stops leaking to channel conflict and backorder chaos.

Custom-designed for your industry. No templates. No stock photos.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
Serial Number Lookup
A customer enters their machine serial and immediately sees their exact configuration, eligible parts, and available upgrade paths. When original parts are discontinued, AI surfaces the alternatives automatically.
Interactive BOM Explorer
A hierarchical Bill of Materials with expand/collapse navigation, tied directly to your ERP structure. Each node links to part details, live availability, and one-click ordering.
3D Exploded-View Diagrams
Three.js-powered 3D models let users rotate, zoom, and click individual components to add them to cart. We convert your existing CAD files into web-ready assets -- no manual remodeling required.
Real-Time ERP Integration
Bidirectional sync with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or Epicor -- live inventory, customer-specific pricing, order status. No batch jobs. Webhook-driven updates.
Account-Based Pricing & Access
Dealer tiers, contract pricing, and volume discounts enforced per login. Each customer sees only the machines and price lists tied to their account.
Predictive Maintenance Bundles
The portal auto-generates maintenance kits based on machine age, runtime hours, and service history. Push notifications go out when a scheduled service window is coming up.
What We Build
Purpose-built features for your industry.
Train search on your order history so partial numbers and natural language queries return the right part, not a dead end
Your technicians find the right part in under 90 seconds instead of waiting on hold for 20 minutes
Ingest STEP, IGES, STL, and native CAD files to generate interactive 3D viewers without manual remodeling
Your return rate drops from 15–25% to single digits because customers see exploded views before they order
Track supersession chains automatically so discontinued parts resolve to current replacements with cross-reference notes
Your serial-to-BOM mapping lives in the system so turnover doesn't erase institutional knowledge
Deploy white-labeled sub-portals for each dealer with separate branding, inventory allocation, and customer lists
Your customers see real-time inventory before they click 'order' so backorder cascades stop flooding your inbox
Capture warranty claims and service requests tied to serial numbers with photo upload to cut back-and-forth by 60%
Your portal suggests cross-sell and upsell opportunities at the moment of search so you capture 30% more aftermarket revenue
Surface analytics showing top-searched parts, failed searches, and demand signals that inform purchasing decisions
Your dealers pull pricing and availability from a single source of truth so channel conflict stops burning your time
Built on a Modern, Secure Stack
Our Development Process
From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.
Data Audit & ERP Mapping
Week 1–2We start by going through your parts data, BOM structures, serial number schemas, and ERP endpoints. Gaps, duplicates, and broken supersession chains get surfaced before we write a single line of code.
Architecture & Wireframes
Week 3–4We design the buyer flows -- serial lookup, BOM navigation, 3D interaction. API contracts for your ERP get defined, staging environments get stood up, and account-based pricing rules get mapped out.
Core Build & ERP Integration
Week 5–9We build the Next.js portal, Algolia search index, Three.js viewer, and live ERP connectors. Serial lookup, BOM explorer, and cart/checkout all go functional in staging.
3D Asset Pipeline & QA
Week 10–12We process your CAD library into web-optimized 3D models and run end-to-end testing across serial lookups, order flows, and ERP sync. Load testing runs against realistic catalog volumes.
Launch & Optimization
Week 13–14We deploy to Vercel edge with CDN-cached 3D assets, train your team on the admin tools, and monitor search analytics, failed lookups, and conversion rates through the first 30 days.
