PartsTech Integration

PartsTech is one of the leading auto parts search engines, showing you live pricing and inventory from over 20,000 parts stores. Shopmonkey’s PartsTech integration allows you to browse and compare parts prices and availability from local suppliers, add part information directly to a work order, and view the order all within Shopmonkey.

Please Note: You will need a PartsTech account to integrate PartsTech with Shopmonkey. Create an account with PartsTech if you don’t already have one. Be sure to select your parts suppliers on your PartsTech account in order to buy parts.

Select the Settings icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.

Select Parts Procurement under the Integrations section on the left-hand side.

Select Connect to connect to PartsTech.

You will be prompted to enter your PartsTech login credentials to grant Shopmonkey authorization. Please Note: You can find your API key under your account info on PartsTech.

From within an estimate, select the Parts & Tires tab. Select Shop for Parts & Tires. This will open up PartsTech.

If you have already added services to the estimate, you can also select the Parts & Tires tab and then select Shop next to a part. This will bring you to the same PartsTech page as the Shop for Parts & Tires button.

Once in the PartsTech window, search for the parts you need and Add to Cart. Notice that the PartsTech PO number on your cart matches the order number in Shopmonkey. Select Submit Quote.

After submitting your quote on PartsTech, you will be redirected to Shopmonkey with the option to Swap Estimate Items with PartsTech Items in your cart. Select which parts you’d like to swap for PartsTech items on the estimate. Select Swap.

On your order services, you’ll now see that swapped parts have the tag PO Drafted, and the cost will update based on the pricing matrix (if you have one set up in your shop).

Select the part to view the part information and edit pricing details. Make changes any changes to the retail price for this part, if desired. You can also select Use PartsTech List Price.

Pro-Tip: Toggle on Vendor’s List Pricing to set the retail price for parts from PartsTech as the vendor’s list pricing by default. Do this in Settings > Parts Procurement. This will override the pricing matrix you might have in place for PartsTech parts.

From within an estimate, select the Parts & Tires tab. You will see the PartsTech part you swapped on the estimate has a purchase order created and has the PO Drafted tag. Select the PO number to view the draft purchase order.

Select Place Order to place the PartsTech order.

Confirm parts and select Place Order.

The status will be updated from PO Drafted to Ordered.
