Common questions about integrating vendor catalogs for filter management
Our system supports unlimited vendor catalog integrations. Most fleets integrate 3-10 primary filter suppliers, with the ability to add specialty vendors as needed. Each integration can be configured with different update frequencies and ordering rules based on vendor capabilities. This works seamlessly with consignment agreements for optimized inventory management.
Our integration platform includes automatic format detection and adaptation capabilities. When vendors update their catalog structure, the system alerts administrators and provides tools to quickly remap fields. For API integrations, we maintain versioning to ensure smooth transitions.
The system tracks all price changes and maintains a complete audit trail. When discrepancies are detected between catalog prices and invoices, alerts are generated. You can set tolerance levels for automatic acceptance and configure approval workflows for significant variations. This integrates with your annual inventory counts for reconciliation.
Yes, you can configure vendor preferences at multiple levels: by filter category, specific part numbers, vehicle types, or locations. The system automatically routes orders to preferred vendors while considering factors like price, availability, and lead time.
All vendor integrations use encrypted connections (SSL/TLS), API keys are stored securely, and access is controlled through role-based permissions. The system maintains detailed logs of all transactions and supports compliance with industry standards like ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
