Auto Parts "Digital Stockroom"
A searchable inventory system that turned an auto parts supplier's phone-heavy sales process into a 24/7 digital catalog.
Outcome
Customers can now search the catalog before calling, which turns vague stock questions into more qualified inquiries and frees staff from repeating the same availability checks all day. The business also gained a 24/7 way to surface inventory without relying on phone time alone.Best fit

Auto Parts SupplierSummary
The business had a large, changing auto-parts inventory, but customers had to call or visit to check what was available.
The work turned that phone-heavy process into a searchable digital stockroom that customers could browse before contacting the team.
About
Desarmadero Latorre had useful inventory, but the sales workflow depended on staff repeatedly answering the same availability questions.
That created friction on both sides: customers had no way to inspect stock, and staff had to spend phone time qualifying basic requests.
Business Objective
The goal was to make inventory visible enough that inbound questions became more qualified and less dependent on constant phone time.
The system needed to work for a real operating business, which meant keeping the staff side simple enough to maintain.
Product Direction
Make stock searchable before the first call.
The customer-facing product centered on search by make, model, and year so buyers could narrow the question before reaching out.
Keep the internal workflow lightweight.
The staff workflow focused on practical listing updates instead of trying to introduce a full inventory platform the business would not use.
Product Surface
The useful shift was not just a nicer website. It was giving customers a way to self-qualify before staff got involved.
The Work
Built a searchable catalog around how customers ask.
The catalog organized vehicles and parts around the query patterns customers already used when calling the business.
Created a direct path from browsing to inquiry.
Listings included photos and a direct inquiry path so customers could move from search to a more specific conversation.
What Shipped
The digital stockroom made the workflow less dependent on repetitive phone checks and gave the business a clearer way to surface inventory.
