Automotive parts distribution · United States

A custom ERP that has run a US autobody parts business for years

Techoptionz partnered with Australian software companies Keyob Pty Ltd and Renzym Pty Ltd on a customised ERP system for autobody parts suppliers in the United States, operating across Chicago, Melrose Park and Grand Rapids. The system has been in continuous production use since 2020, and Techoptionz continues to provide support and ongoing development to extend it.

The challenge

  • Autobody parts distribution does not fit generic ERP templates: pricing rules, part interchangeability, cores and returns all behave differently from standard retail stock.
  • Multiple physical locations needed a shared, live view of inventory and pricing.
  • The business could not stop trading for a migration, so the system had to arrive in stages.

What we did

  • Worked as the long-term engineering partner to Keyob and Renzym, who held the client relationship and product direction.
  • Delivered the ERP module by module — inventory, purchasing, sales and invoicing — so each went live and proved itself before the next began.
  • Modelled the parts catalogue, interchange and pricing rules around how the business actually quotes and sells, rather than forcing a standard schema.
  • Established a support process covering incident response, enhancement requests and scheduled releases.

Where it stands

  • In continuous production use since 2020 — 6 years and counting.
  • Operates across multiple US branch locations on one shared system of record.
  • Still under active development, with new capability added on a regular release cycle.
  • A support relationship that has been renewed year after year.
