Our product data has been made visible within the platform following the completion of the latest catalogue work and data checks. For motor factors already using AutoCat, TVP can now be found without leaving the workflow they rely on to identify automotive parts.
Trade Vehicle Parts is now listed on AutoCat. Motor factors using the platform can find our catalogue and contact TVP to open a trade account and discuss adding us as a supplier.
What Is AutoCat?
AutoCat is an automotive parts catalogue platform from Klipboard. It brings vehicle information, fitment data, product catalogues and supplier information together so aftermarket businesses can identify suitable parts more efficiently.
For a busy motor factor, that means less jumping between separate catalogues when trying to identify what is available for a particular vehicle. And for TVP, it puts our catalogue in front of businesses already using AutoCat as part of their day-to-day parts identification process.
What Does This Mean for Motor Factors?
The biggest benefit is simple: you can now find Trade Vehicle Parts within AutoCat.
If you already use the platform, you can search our catalogue as part of the systems and processes you are already familiar with — rather than relying solely on a separate supplier website. From there, you can contact our team to open a business account and discuss adding TVP to your supplier network.
This is particularly useful for motor factors looking to broaden their access to replacement body panels and exterior parts without adding another completely separate catalogue to their workflow.
A Stronger Body Panels Offering for Your Customers
Body panels are a major part of what we do at Trade Vehicle Parts. We stock and supply a wide range of replacement exterior parts, making TVP particularly relevant for motor factors serving accident repair centres, body shops, garages and customers carrying out bodywork repairs.
Having our catalogue available through AutoCat gives factors another route to identify parts available from TVP when their usual local supply options do not cover the bodywork part they need. And because correct fitment matters with panels just as much as it does with mechanical components, bringing our catalogue data into a recognised automotive parts platform makes identifying suitable products easier.
What Product Information Is Available?
Our catalogue work has involved mapping product information against the appropriate vehicles so parts can appear against relevant applications inside AutoCat — including vehicle-specific information that helps narrow down which part is suitable, rather than simply displaying a long list of products with no vehicle context.
As with any catalogue, it is still important to check the individual product specification before ordering, especially where a vehicle has different trim levels, facelift versions or body styles.
Can Motor Factors Order Directly Through AutoCat?
Our catalogue is now live in AutoCat, but fully integrated ordering is a separate stage of the project. TVP is also working on the next phase of connectivity around TecCom, designed to support integrated enquiries and ordering between suppliers and buyers' business systems. Until that work is complete, we would not describe fully integrated AutoCat/TecCom ordering as live.
For now, motor factors can find TVP within AutoCat and contact us directly to set up a trade relationship.
Why Are We Joining AutoCat?
Because trade customers should not have to work harder just to find out whether we supply the part they need. Motor factors already operate across busy purchasing systems, supplier catalogues and customer enquiries every day. Making TVP available within AutoCat puts our product information closer to the point where those buying decisions are already being made.
It supports the wider direction of our trade offering: making it easier for garages, body shops and motor factors to find suitable parts and work with TVP.
