Industrial & MRO parts

Shopify compatibility for industrial parts procurement.

A fit check built for maintenance teams, MRO buyers, and procurement specialists. Part numbers, equipment codes, and OEM cross-references — structured like a spec sheet, not a consumer storefront.

The procurement problem

Industrial buyers can't afford to guess on compatibility.

MRO buyers, maintenance managers, and procurement teams shop with deadlines attached. Equipment is down, production is halted, and the cost of ordering the wrong bearing, valve, or sensor isn't just the return shipping — it's the downtime, the rush freight on the replacement, and the credibility of the purchasing decision.

01

Part numbers don't match across sources

A bearing spec'd as SKF 6205-2RS1 might cross-reference to NSK 6205DU, FAG 6205-2RSR-C3, and a dozen aftermarket equivalents. Procurement teams burn hours cross-checking supplier catalogs when the product page could show the answer in one click.

Typical time lost ~20 min / order
02

Wrong-part orders block downstream work

A wrong bearing in a motor rebuild doesn't just get returned. It halts the rebuild, extends the production outage, and forces a rush re-order at premium freight. One mistake often costs more than the part itself.

Downtime cost $260 – $5,000 / hr
03

Legacy B2B platforms are over-built

Enterprise PIM and fitment platforms charge enterprise prices and require months of implementation. Mid-market industrial suppliers on Shopify need a fit check that installs in an afternoon, maps to the data they already have, and doesn't require an integration team.

Integration overview

From data upload to verified procurement.

ModelMatch slots into existing procurement workflows without replacing them. Map your compatibility data, surface it where buyers make decisions, and close the gap between a product page and a verified order.

Phase 01
Data ingestion

Import compatibility from the sources you already use

Upload CSV cross-reference data, import from your Shopify catalog, or enter records by hand. Handles OEM part numbers, cross-references, equipment models, and category taxonomies. Existing supplier cross-reference sheets typically import without restructuring.

Output Compatibility database
Phase 02
Storefront surfacing

Expose compatibility where procurement decisions are made

A fit check block on every product page lets buyers confirm compatibility against their equipment or part number before issuing a PO. A standalone finder provides a dedicated lookup surface for bulk inquiries. A catalog fit check narrows catalog pages from hundreds of SKUs to the matching subset.

Output Verified buyer signal
Phase 03
Procurement completion

Confident orders, fewer returns, traceable compatibility

Orders placed after a verified fit check carry a compatibility signal — reducing wrong-part returns, minimizing rush re-orders on premium freight, and giving procurement teams an audit trail on part selection. Pattern data on no-match events shows you exactly where to prioritize catalog coverage next.

Output Reduced procurement risk
Capabilities

Built for how procurement teams actually source parts.

Three core capabilities that turn a Shopify storefront into a serviceable sourcing surface for maintenance, MRO, and industrial procurement buyers.

Part-number fit check on every product page

Buyers confirm compatibility against OEM part numbers, cross-references, or equipment model numbers before issuing a purchase order. The check surfaces on every product with compatibility data and hides on products without it — no broken states, no empty widgets.

  • OEM matches against manufacturer part numbers
  • X-REF accepts cross-referenced equivalents across brands
  • MODEL resolves by equipment model when part number is unknown

Standalone finder for bulk and multi-line procurement

A dedicated lookup surface where a buyer enters equipment details once and browses every compatible part across your catalog. Built for maintenance managers pulling together a multi-line PO for a planned outage or rebuild.

  • BULK supports multi-SKU order workflows
  • SCOPE narrows catalog to equipment-matched parts only
  • CART integrates with native Shopify cart

Import from the data you already own

Compatibility data rarely starts from zero in industrial catalogs. Upload CSV cross-references, import from your Shopify products, or use AI-assisted mapping to extract compatibility from existing product descriptions. Preview every change before it saves to your live catalog.

  • CSV bulk import with column mapping
  • AI extracts compatibility from product descriptions
  • PREVIEW review and approve before any catalog write
Procurement team questions

Answers for B2B and MRO buyers.

Does ModelMatch integrate with existing procurement or ERP systems?
ModelMatch operates at the Shopify storefront layer — the fit check, finder, and compatibility data live inside your Shopify store. Orders placed after a compatibility check flow through Shopify's standard order and webhook systems, which can be connected to external procurement or ERP tooling through Shopify's existing integrations.
How do we handle OEM part-number licensing or data rights?
You own every compatibility record in your ModelMatch catalog. Data you upload from supplier cross-references, manufacturer catalogs, or internal sources stays inside your store and is exported back to you at any time. No third-party database licensing, no data lock-in, no transfer fees.
Can the fit check handle cross-references across multiple manufacturers?
Yes. A single part record can map to any number of cross-referenced part numbers from any number of manufacturers. Buyers entering an SKF, NSK, FAG, or generic part number all resolve to the same compatible SKU in your catalog.
What's the implementation timeline for a catalog with 50,000+ SKUs?
The app itself installs in under an hour. The compatibility data import depends on the structure of your existing source data. Well-structured supplier cross-reference sheets typically import in a single pass. Unstructured or partially-mapped data can be loaded incrementally, with AI-assisted mapping handling bulk extraction from product descriptions.
How does ModelMatch handle audit trails and compatibility traceability?
Every fit check event is recorded with the buyer's input, the matched record, and the resulting order (if one is placed). This gives procurement teams and internal audit functions a verifiable chain from compatibility query to purchase — useful for quality management system requirements and post-order dispute resolution.
What does this cost for industrial-scale catalogs?
ModelMatch pricing is Starter at $19/month, Growth at $39/month, and Professional at $79/month. Industrial catalogs with deep SKU counts, large compatibility databases, and full import/export needs typically fit the Professional plan. There are no per-query fees, no data licensing surcharges, and no enterprise upsell.
