Parts Square integrates with your warehouse distributors, manufacturers and specialty vendors—via API or files—then decides in real time who should fulfill each order from where.
Your margins and fill rates depend on how well you work with vendors. Parts Square ties together all of your WDs, vendors and manufacturers, normalizes their feeds, and runs a rules engine ("Dynamic Vending") to pick the best source for each order: right cost, right warehouse, right SLA, right shipping method.
We integrate with vendors through multiple methods
For inventory, pricing, order placement and tracking (where available)
On a schedule for stock, pricing, and catalog updates
For some larger distributors with specific requirements
Where inventory is file-based but orders are sent via API, email or portal integration
If a vendor has any way of sharing inventory and accepting orders electronically, we can usually plug them into Parts Square.
Warehouse distributors, manufacturers and specialty vendors
These are just some of the vendors and distributors we commonly connect to — Parts Square can integrate with almost any vendor that supports API or file-based data sharing.
Vendors all speak slightly different "languages"
Your team works with one coherent vendor layer instead of juggling dozens of formats.
Display true freight costs directly from your vendors, not just estimates
Many warehouse distributors now expose real-time shipping rates via API, including vendors such as Turn 14, Keystone, Meyer, Motor State, WorldPac and others. When those APIs are available, Parts Square can call them directly during checkout or during our vendor-selection process.
Instead of estimating freight, your customers see the actual shipping cost calculated by the vendor – so you know exactly what you'll be invoiced, and there are no shipping surprises.
If your vendors have negotiated good freight rates, you can pass those savings directly to customers – increasing conversion rates and giving you greater confidence in every sale.
On top of vendor freight APIs, you can define per-vendor and per-method shipping markups or markdowns inside Parts Square.
Pass through freight at cost
Add small markup on certain methods
Subsidize shipping on high-margin brands
You can do that with configuration – not code. The combination of normalized vendor feeds, vendor freight APIs and configurable markups gives you a vendor layer that's optimized for both customer experience and margin.
Parts Square's vendor logic (your "Dynamic Vending" brain) considers:
Which vendors have it
Freight profiles & surcharges
By catalog, country, store
Local vs national warehouses
We compute a preferred vendor and warehouse based on your rules and current data—no more guessing or hand-maintained spreadsheets.
Your vendor network becomes a flexible grid you control, not a hard-coded mess.
We adapt to each vendor's preferred workflow
Use API-based dropship ordering where supported
Generate EDI, file-based or portal-ready orders
Cutoff times, minimums, freight programs, backorders and substitutions
Push tracking numbers and invoices back for customer notifications and accounting
The goal is to play nicely with your vendors while still keeping a single, unified view for your business.
Most platforms stop at "we support dropship." Parts Square goes much further—normalizing data from every vendor, ranking sources intelligently, and mapping that back into your catalog, pricing, shipping and storefront. That's how you win on availability, speed and margin at the same time.
