For automobile spare parts distributors

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A photo of the part is the fastest request”

    A mechanic can send a picture of the old part, a part number or a vehicle registration plate in seconds. An order line that accepts that gets requests a phone call would lose in the noise of a workshop.

  • “One number run by one person loses orders”

    If the line sits on a salesman's personal phone, it is answered only when that person is free and lost when they leave. A business number with a named person on duty and a shared log keeps orders with the firm.

  • “Broadcasts to the whole list annoy the wrong people”

    A message about two-wheeler clutch plates sent to commercial vehicle garages gets blocked. Lists split by vehicle type and brand send each buyer what they stock.

  • “Consent and platform rules apply to trade too”

    A counter owner who has not agreed to receive offers can still report them. Ask before adding a number to a broadcast list, and check the platform's current rules on business messaging.

What we do

What we deliver for automobile spare parts distributors.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A business number and profile

    A WhatsApp Business profile with brands carried, the delivery area and a named contact for orders.

    Result: The profile tells a buyer who you supply.

  2. An order and availability format

    A short pattern for part number, brand, vehicle and quantity that the buyer can send in one message.

    Result: Requests arrive in a form the staff can answer at once.

  3. Segmented contact lists

    Lists split by vehicle type, brand and buyer type, with a record of who agreed to receive messages.

    Result: Each message goes to a list that stocks the item.

  4. Quick replies and a catalogue

    Saved replies for common questions and a catalogue of brand families, kept truthful to current stock.

    Result: Staff answer repeat questions from saved text.

  5. An order log

    Every request and reply logged against the counter, with unstocked parts flagged.

    Result: You can read the orders and misses the line produced.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to capture or send

Take and send these on the mechanics' own app.

Photo of the old part
Ask the mechanic to send the old part picture with the vehicle model, so the counter finds the right fit without a call.
Stock check reply
Reply with in stock or not, the brand, and when the van reaches the counter, in one short message.
New arrival note
Send the part, the brand and the vehicle fit to the counters that buy that line only.
Order confirmation
Repeat the order lines and the delivery day back to the counter, so mistakes are caught before the van leaves.
Payment reminder
A polite note giving the invoice and the amount due, sent to the person who handles payment, in the same register as a sales message.

Who it is for

This is written for these automobile spare parts distributors.

  • Two-wheeler spare parts distributors serving counters and small garages
  • Car and light vehicle spare parts distributors
  • Commercial vehicle parts distributors for truck and bus operators
  • Tyre, tube and battery distributors
  • Lubricant, filter and consumables distributors
  • Multi-brand aftermarket distributors with a wide part list
  • Authorised distributors for a single maker's genuine parts
  • Tractor and agricultural vehicle parts distributors

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • One person's phone holds all the counter numbers, and nobody else can answer, so orders would stop when that person is away.
  • The counters on your list never agreed to receive messages from the firm, so a broadcast would reach people who did not ask.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Read the chats you already have

    We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.

  2. 2

    Sort the list and the permission

    Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.

  3. 3

    Choose the app or the API

    One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.

  4. 4

    Write the replies and the plan

    The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.

  5. 5

    Connect the record and test

    Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.

  6. 6

    Read the unanswered questions

    A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Should we use the WhatsApp Business app or the API?
The Business app suits a small team that handles orders by hand. The API suits larger volumes and tools. Choose after reading how many requests you handle and who answers them.
Can we send price lists to all counters?
Send them to counters that have agreed to receive them, and keep rates specific to the account where terms differ. A list sent to everyone can start arguments over different rates.
What if a staff member leaves with the contacts?
Keep the business number in the firm's name and the contact list in a shared record. Personal phones holding customer chats leave with the person, so route trade orders to the business line.
How do we handle a staff member who leaves with the contacts?
Run the number on a business account the firm owns, and keep counter contacts in the shared record, not only on a personal phone. Then when a salesman leaves, the counters stay with the business and the number goes on being answered.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
