Case study

Modernizing a low-code vendor portal to support +1000 daily orders


 

eParts.shop, a leader in aftermarket parts distribution, partnered with Rappit.io to transform its entire digital operations, from core systems to supplier collaboration. Beginning in 2020, Rappit served as both technology platform provider and development partner, building a custom Salesforce-based e-commerce backbone, a mobile warehouse app, and a modernized B2B vendor portal. Powered by Rappit Developer’s AI-led application development platform and Rappit’s solution development expertise, eParts gained seamless multi-channel integration, fully automated inventory sync, and scalable order fulfillment, processing 1,000+ daily orders and expanding effortlessly to new warehouses.

Their challenges

  • Standard retail software couldn’t scale: When eparts.shop set out to scale its US-based aftermarket parts business, the company needed a resilient backbone capable of connecting sales channels, automating operations, and supporting a fast-moving team with a minimal IT footprint. They needed a powerful, future-ready backbone to unify channels, automate operations, and support a lean, agile team; a requirement beyond what generic ecom or ERP tools could deliver.
  • Supplier collaboration was inefficient: eparts.shop’s business model is defined by fast and accurately matching spare parts to customer equipment. Rapid, accurate matching of customer needs to a vast, complex parts inventory demanded a smarter way to integrate and communicate with global suppliers.
  • Rigid platforms slowed scaling: User-based licensing in Salesforce and traditional low-code platforms like Wavemaker quickly drove up recurring costs, especially as eparts.shop scaled supplier and partner access. Wavemaker’s limited flexibility made it cumbersome and expensive to implement required custom coding and integrations, restricting innovation and forcing the team to compromise on advanced features vital for business growth.

Eparts.shop needed a partner who could guarantee a strategic, risk-free security transformation during this period.
