A parts catalogue that knows your prices and stock
autoecat is our own electronic parts catalogue, online since 2000. Every lookup shows the customer’s own price and your stock at each branch, live from your system. Not a price file.
Catalogue figures as of November 2026.
From lookup to order without retyping anything
Live price and stock
Each lookup asks Counterpoint for the account’s net price and on-hand at every branch, by name.
Orders land in your POS
A shop’s online order arrives at your counter with a confirmation number.
One cart, several suppliers
A single cart can become orders to several suppliers.
VIN lookup
Find the vehicle by VIN, or scan the VIN with the VINMobile phone app.
Interchange
Cross a competitor’s part number to the one you stock.
Labour guide and OEM data
Pick parts from exploded diagrams, and see labour times, OEM part numbers, fluid specs and product details in the same lookup.
More than car parts
One catalogue for automotive, light truck, powersport, medium and heavy duty, and industrial. Products without vehicle applications, like oil, tools and shop supplies, can be catalogued too, with images and specifications.
Fewer phone calls about invoices
With Counterpoint, autoecat doubles as a self-service portal for the shops you supply.
- Account status and statements
- Invoice search and reprints
