AI-native infrastructure for auto parts distributors

AI Factory for Auto Parts
Why PartsClub
"My staff stares at KakaoTalk all day, just writing quotes."
"To check stock, I have to phone the warehouse."
"To find one part, I message five distributors."

Real distributors, real inventory.
The Problem
Quotes, stock checks, VIN lookups, orders, AR — they arrive all day, in parallel. A human handles them sequentially.

The bottleneck
1
person handles all streams · 5–15 min per task · ~30–40 tasks done/day
Demand arrives in parallel · capacity is serial · backlog grows.
The only scaling lever today
+2× demand→+1 person
Linear cost. Linear ceiling. Margins compress with every new hire.

Layer 3 · Marketplace · Roadmap

L3 marketplace becomes the entry door. Once a distributor joins, the path to L1+L2 becomes the obvious next step.
For Buyers (Workshops)
One search across every member distributor's catalog. Quote requests fan out automatically.
For Sellers (Distributors)
Listed for free. Pay commission only on actual sales. Buyers come to you.
For Layer 1 Customers (Preferred Tier)
Already a Layer 1 customer? Marketplace commission drops by half. The L1→L3 upgrade pays itself.
Layer 4 · Global Export · Roadmap
Some parts move slowly in Korea — but a French workshop, Japanese hobbyist, or German fleet operator needs them. PartsClub routes that inventory to global marketplaces.

Why It Works
Real-time stock across every warehouse and SKU. Auto safety-stock alerts. (Layer 1 · Live with current customers)
Auto-aggregated AR per customer. Month-end close in hours, not days. (Layer 1 · Live with current customers)
AI Quote Agent drafts KakaoTalk quotes; humans approve. Designed for distributors drowning in repeat quotes. (Layer 2 · In development, Q3 2026 target)
Differentiation
Other ERPs treat KakaoTalk as a side integration. We are designing it as the primary channel. KakaoTalk screenshot → Claude Vision → structured quote draft is in development, targeting Q3 2026 rollout to existing Layer 1 customers.
VIN decoding, OEM/aftermarket distinction, vehicle compatibility, supplier hierarchies — pre-built into the data model. Other ERPs need months of custom fields to handle this; ours ships day one.
Every AI-drafted quote, restock order, or settlement adjustment goes through human approval. Built for the trust + compliance reality of Korean B2B — no rogue AI sending bad quotes to your biggest customer.
L1 ERP, L2 AI agents, L3 marketplace, and L4 global export are built on one shared data model — by design. When L2–L4 ship, your L1 customer records, SKUs, and inventory plug in instantly. No second integration, no second migration.
