Stop searching for spare parts. Ask once.
Spare part availability is fragmented and offline. This platform replaces calls and WhatsApp with one structured request and real-time seller responses.
The spare parts market is not searchable
of independent spare part sellers do not maintain real-time digital inventory
sellers typically contacted per part request by a single buyer
response time often exceeds several hours or days per inquiry
This is not a lack of demand.
This is not a lack of supply.
This is a coordination failure.
Requests scale better than listings
Instead of forcing sellers to digitize inventory, the platform reverses the flow. Buyers publish structured demand. Sellers respond only if relevant.
Listings
Require inventory standardization, real-time catalog management, and digital infrastructure that most independent sellers don't have.
Requests
Work even when inventory is informal, offline, or unstandardized. Sellers respond from memory or physical stock without digitization overhead.
This turns fragmented supply into responsive supply without digitization.
Buyers ask once
Buyer describes the needed part in natural language
No product codes, catalogs, or technical jargon required. Plain text works.
Optional photos reduce ambiguity
Attach images of the damaged part or reference photos for visual clarity.
One request replaces multiple calls
Published once, visible to all relevant sellers. No need to repeat the same request 15 times.
Reduces buyer sourcing time by ~60–80% compared to phone-based search
One request reaches many sellers
Requests are broadcast in real time
Sellers see actual demand, not listings
Sellers self-select whether to respond
Supply competes for demand, not the other way around.
Sellers respond only when relevant
No cold calls
No generic inquiries
No wasted time
Sellers respond to approximately 20–30% of received requests—only when they have the part in stock or can source it efficiently.
Response quality is higher due to self-selection. Sellers engage when they can deliver value, not because they were contacted directly.
Seller economics: Lower time investment per successful transaction. Higher conversion on responses. No pressure to maintain listings.
Chat is the transaction layer
Chat is used for:
Clarification
Negotiation
Trust-building
Deal closure
In early tests, the majority of successful transactions close within a single conversation thread.
Controlled access, not open classifieds
Authenticated users
Verified sellers
Reduced spam and fraud
Higher signal-to-noise ratio compared to open marketplaces.
Why this scales
No dependency on inventory digitization
The platform doesn't require sellers to upload catalogs, maintain SKUs, or standardize their inventory. It works with what they already have.
Works in fragmented, informal markets
The request-driven model thrives in environments where supply is distributed, unstandardized, or offline. Traditional e-commerce struggles here.
Replicable across verticals
The same infrastructure applies to any market with similar dynamics: opaque inventory, fragmented sellers, and clear buyer demand.
Example verticals
Automotive spare parts
Machinery components
Industrial maintenance parts
B2B replacement components
Any market where inventory is opaque but demand is clear.
What becomes possible with AI
Future capability
As request volume grows, an assistive AI layer can help streamline coordination without replacing human decisions.
Automatically enrich buyer requests (vehicle details, compatibility, urgency) based on context
Route requests to the most relevant sellers using historical response patterns
Assist sellers and buyers by summarizing conversations and comparing offers
Market opportunity
The global automotive aftermarket exceeds €400 billion annually, driven by vehicle maintenance, repair, and component replacement.
Initial focus
Fragmented independent sellers—the long tail of distributors, repair shops, and resellers who operate without integrated e-commerce infrastructure.
Target wedge
The communication and sourcing layer, not full transaction volume. The platform facilitates discovery and negotiation—the bottleneck in fragmented markets.
This is infrastructure, not a marketplace play.
The value is in solving coordination failure at scale, not capturing transaction fees from existing volume.
The Challenge
Albania's fragmented auto parts market lacks digital infrastructure. Vehicle owners struggle to find specific parts, while suppliers have no efficient way to reach customers with exact needs.
How It Works
Three-step process from request to transaction
Buyer Posts Request
Vehicle owners describe the auto part they need with text or photos. No browsing catalogs.
Sellers Respond
Suppliers view requests and create custom offers with pricing and availability.
Direct Negotiation
Buyers and sellers communicate directly via chat to finalize details and close deals.
Platform Infrastructure
Chat-Based
Real-time messaging between buyers and sellers for direct negotiation
Request-Driven
No inventory management or catalog browsing required
Mobile-First
Native iOS and Android experience for on-the-go transactions
Two-Sided Network
Connecting vehicle owners with verified spare parts suppliers

A new primitive for fragmented markets
This is not a spare parts app.
This is request-driven market infrastructure for sectors where search does not work.
