Inventory information is spread across systems, files and channels.
No single place shows what inventory exists, where it is, what vehicles it fits, where it is listed, or whether it has sold.

The new model
PMC controls the master inventory catalogOne inventory platform supporting PMC’s website and approved sales channels
PMC websiteCar-Partfuture channels
PMC’s inventory data, photos, and operating process remain under PMC’s control as sales channels and customer needs change.
Delivery plan
Six defined stages take PMC from fragmented inventory records to one controlled operating platform.
01 · Inventory Consolidation
Bring PMC’s available inventory records together into one organized catalog, with duplicates, inconsistencies, and missing information identified.
You receiveOne consolidated inventory dataset · a standardized record structure · duplicate and inconsistency review · a documented list of missing information
Assumption. Existing inventory records can be provided digitally. Physical discovery, photography, and entry of undocumented inventory are not included.
02 · System Design
Define how PMC’s future inventory operation and system will work before development begins.
You receiveAn approved system blueprint: process workflows · system requirements · key wireframes · user roles · integration map · reporting requirements
03A · Inventory Intake
One repeatable process across PMC’s inventory and support teams, so a part is entered once and entered the same way every time.
03B · Day-to-Day Inventory Management
The central system PMC’s team uses to add, find, update, and control inventory.
03C · Working Prototype
Search, filter, and open a sample record to explore the proposed inventory experience.
04 · Ecommerce System
A PMC-controlled storefront where customers can search available inventory using information they already know about their vehicle.
Vehicle searchYear, make and model to compatible parts.
Product pagesPhotos, condition, price and compatibility.
Customer journeyDirect checkout, inquiry, or a combination of both, as approved during System Design.
Mobile experienceBuilt for desktop and phone buyers.
05 · System Integration
Connect PMC’s central inventory to its website and supported external systems using the connection method each platform provides.
Inventory maintained centrally→Approved information distributed→Sales and changes recorded→Supported availability updates completed
Assumption. Automation depends on the access, file formats, and connection methods provided by each platform. Third-party licensing and platform fees remain separate.
06 · Reporting Dashboard
Illustrative management view. See what PMC owns, what is selling, and what needs attention.
Delivery Schedule
Estimated implementation: 10 to 14 weeks. Inventory and ecommerce development may overlap after the System Design Blueprint is approved.
Indicative sequencing, not a fixed schedule. Timing depends on access to source data and to the required third-party platforms.
Investment
