Project Overview

Book icon

Scaling automotive spare parts distribution with dynamic pricing and inventory management

The client is a major European supplier of automotive spare parts, with a distribution network spanning multiple countries and a catalog of more than 900,000 products. To keep pace with expansion and maintain competitiveness, they required scalable technology to manage dynamic pricing and stock availability across platforms.

Industry challenges

The automotive spare parts industry is characterized by high product volumes, complex logistics, and the constant need for up-to-date stock information. Suppliers must ensure reliability and real-time availability while handling large-scale integrations with marketplaces and partners. Any inefficiency in synchronization or pricing directly impacts competitiveness and customer trust.

Primary target market

The solution primarily targets the European market, with a strong emphasis on the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and Eastern Europe. In these markets, B2B clients demand fast, reliable, and professional services, making system robustness and speed essential.

Cultural considerations

In the DACH region, B2B clients place high value on reliability, precision, and strict adherence to deadlines. Suppliers are expected to provide real-time data accuracy and professional communication, as delays or inconsistencies can quickly damage trust.

In Eastern European markets, businesses emphasize cost efficiency, scalability, and long-term partnerships. Having a solution that adapts to dynamic market conditions while ensuring affordability is critical for competitiveness.

These cultural expectations shaped the system design, where speed, accuracy, and scalability became non-negotiable elements for adoption across both regions.

Client's challenge

The client faced three main challenges while preparing for expansion:

  1. A strict one-month deadline for a new market launch.
  2. An inefficient stock synchronization system struggling to keep up with product volumes.

The need to optimize operations to remain compliant with Scayle’s 3,000 requests per second limit.

Proposed solution

Linnify partnered with the client to redesign and upgrade their Azure-based system architecture.

The improvements centered on scalability and real-time processing, ensuring that stock and pricing updates could be executed efficiently. A key enhancement was the development of an optimized request batching mechanism that enabled the system to function seamlessly within Scayle’s request (3,000 requests per second) limits, while still delivering real-time updates.

These improvements enabled them to achieve their one-month market launch deadline successfully.
