- Who provides rights to catalogue data, fitments, images, prices and stock?
- Which payment and supplier integrations need production configuration?

# AutoSoft

https://demosoft.uk/products/autosoft?lang=en

AutoSoft — car parts catalogue and shop with an included server-side TecDoc API adapter (TecAlliance). Separate licence, API key, Provider ID and integration activation required; live TecDoc data is not included.

Version: 2026.10.28-rc9
Technology: Node.js 24 · TypeScript · Next.js · PostgreSQL

## Pricing and terms
- One website: 500.00 EUR excluding VAT
- Unlimited domains: 1500.00 EUR excluding VAT

Applicable VAT is added before payment.

## Features
- Automotive business
- Included TecDoc API adapter (TecAlliance); separate licence and integration activation

## Who this software is for
For parts retailers connecting vehicle navigation, product offers and customer orders in one workflow.

## Main modules
- Vehicle catalogue — select a make, model and configuration.
- Products — categories, part numbers, media and demo supplier offers.
- Commerce and administration — cart, orders and a separate admin workspace.

## How it works
- Select a vehicle and category.
- Inspect parts and demo prices.
- Add an item to the cart and inspect the order workflow.

## Integrations
- The shop backend requests AuCatalog data; its API key stays on the server.
- A supplier must authorise catalogue data, media, prices and stock. Fitment and offer freshness require separate validation.
- A live deployment needs store details, tax rules, payments, shipping and webhook processing.
- Includes a server-side TypeScript adapter for the TecDoc API by TecAlliance: manufacturers, models, vehicles, exact part/OE/EAN number search and article details. A separate contract, API key and Provider ID are required, followed by live API validation and mapping to internal storefront IDs.

## Limitations
An isolated AutoShazam copy with example offers. Production payment, courier and supplier credentials are not included. The TecDoc component is implemented but not configured or connected to live data. No TecAlliance subscription, data, images, prices or stock are included. The demo storefront continues to use its example catalogue.

## Who this software is for

## Main modules
- Vehicles — makes, models, generations and configurations for navigation.

- Follow the OpenAPI contract, handle pagination and 401/403/429 responses, and cache according to data validity.
- Map vehicle and article IDs; refresh price, stock and expiry before sale. VIN identification alone does not prove part fitment.

## Limitations
The public explorer uses the existing isolated AutoSoft AuCatalog through a restricted server-side facade. External providers, VIN and research operations are disabled. Inter Cars and Laximo are planned. A server-side TecDoc adapter is implemented for TecAlliance, but licensed API configuration, live validation and storefront ID mapping remain required; the provider is not active.
