An auto parts store built for 3 million+ products,where every part is matched to the customer's car.
Aerogroft sells car parts online across Estonia. The previous store gave customers no way to match a part to their car: products had only a name and a photo, and there was no search by VIN or plate number, not even a manual car selector. With a range that large, people simply couldn't tell what would fit.
In 12 weeks we designed and built a new store from scratch, made to handle more than three million products. Every part number is filled in automatically with photos, specs, manuals and compatibility data, prices and stock sync every night, and customers find parts by plate number, VIN or a manual car search. Payment, shipping labels and order emails run without manual work, and the team manages the whole store from its own admin.

02The project
Suppliers send little more than a part number, a price and a short name. Each item is matched against a professional automotive database, which fills in photos, technical specs, PDF manuals, vehicle compatibility, cross-references and alternatives. The category tree builds itself from that data, so 3 million products went into the catalogue without anyone typing them in.
Three suppliers are connected via API and FTP. Every night prices and stock levels update automatically, so customers see current data in the morning and the team never has to compare price lists by hand.
Customers enter a plate number or VIN, the data comes in through the Transpordiamet API, and the store identifies the make, model and generation on the spot. The car can also be picked by hand from the database. From then on, the catalogue only shows parts that fit.
Every car someone searches for is saved to their garage. Even without logging in, it stays in the browser, so returning customers don't have to search again. The account keeps orders, saved products and cars in one place.
Payment runs through EveryPay with bank links, Visa and Mastercard. Parcels go to Omniva, SmartPost, DPD or Unisend lockers, by courier, or for pickup in Tallinn and Märjamaa. As soon as an order is paid, Shipit24 creates the shipment and the label with the carrier, and the customer gets an order email.
The team manages orders, categories, subcategories and products. Each customer has a profile with their orders, where staff can give a discount or block the account. There are two roles, admin and manager, and a manager only gets the permissions they need.
On desktop the site scores 94 for performance and 100 for SEO in Lighthouse. The interface is ready in Estonian, Russian and English; catalogue data is in Estonian for now, as that's the language the data provider supplies.
