Industry application
Online Parts Retail
Listing by OEM number means every mismatch is public. Accuracy in the source data is the whole business, and it has to arrive with the parts.
Industry pain points
What Goes Wrong in This Channel
A mismatch becomes a review
In retail the cost of a wrong reference is not just the return — it is the rating that follows it. Source data has to be right before the listing goes live.
Thin data on the supplier side
A listing needs the cross references, the material and, on thermostats, the opening temperature. A photograph and a price is not a listing.
Images that do not match the part
Every product image on this site is the photograph of the reference it sits on. None of them are stock photography and none are reused across references.

Answers
Online Parts Retail — Questions
Can I use your photographs in my listings
Ask by email and say where they will be used. The photographs are of the actual references, so accuracy is in everybody's interest.
Why are some fields marked TBC
Because the source catalogue does not state them. Dimensions, weights and minimum quantities are confirmed in writing on the quotation instead of being estimated on a web page.
What format is the cross-reference file
CSV, one row per published reference, with the OEM numbers, the internal reference, the material and the opening temperature where they exist.
Do you drop ship
Not as a standard service. The range is packed and priced for trade quantities.
How many references are published
178 of a range that runs to more than 4000 types.
