Sell More Parts, Build Mechanic Loyalty & Automate OrdersโAll on WhatsApp
Handle 50+ "do you have this part?" inquiries daily without drowning. Instant availability checks, automated restock alerts, and mechanic loyalty programs.
"Do You Have This Part?" All Day โ 50+ calls daily asking about specific parts. Counter staff spend more time answering availability questions than actually selling.
Parts Out of Stock, Customer Gone โ when you don't have a part, the customer goes to competitors. You eventually get it in stock, but they never know because you can't track them.
Mechanics Don't Stay Loyal โ local mechanics are your biggest customers, but they buy from whoever is closest or cheapest. No systematic relationship building.
Order Updates Are Manual โ when special orders arrive, you call customers one by one. Half don't answer, and you end up storing parts for weeks before pickup.
Same Questions Repeated โ "What's your timing?" "Do you deliver?" "What's the warranty?" Staff answer these basic questions 20+ times daily.
Credit Customers Delay Payments โ mechanics on credit often delay payments. You don't have time to chase each one, and outstanding amounts keep growing.

Out-of-Stock Request Capture
JourneyStarter+ $29
When a part isn't in stock, capture customer details and vehicle info so you can notify them when it arrives.
Sorry, that part isn't in stock right now.
I can notify you when it arrives! Just share:
1. Your name
2. Vehicle (make, model, year)
3. Part you need
We'll WhatsApp you the moment it's available!
Rajesh, Honda City 2019, clutch plate
Got it! I've noted your request:
Part: Clutch plate
Vehicle: Honda City 2019
Name: Rajesh
We'll message you as soon as it's available. Usually takes 2-5 days for special orders.
Thanks for your patience!
Just now
JOURNEY: Out-of-Stock Capture
TRIGGER: Staff tags contact "out-of-stock"
STEP 1: Ask for name, vehicle, part details
STEP 2: Confirm details received
STEP 3: Add to "Waiting for Part" list
STEP 4: Set reminder for 5-day follow-up
How it works: Instead of losing the customer forever, you capture their need. When the part arrives, you have a ready buyer. This turns lost sales into deferred sales. Staff just needs to add one tag, and the Journey handles everything else.
Workflow tip: Review your "Waiting for Part" list weekly to prioritize which parts to restock.

How it works: Mechanics choose suppliers based on relationship and value. Regular communication + loyalty rewards make switching harder. Points can be redeemed for discounts or free items. Tiered rewards (Silver/Gold/Platinum) encourage higher spending.
Workflow tip: Create special "mechanic-only" prices visible after login or verification to make them feel valued.

Workflow tip: Include UPI ID in every reminder for one-click payment. Make paying easier than ignoring.

New Stock Alerts
CampaignStarter+ $29
When you stock new brands or popular parts, notify relevant customers. Segment by vehicle type they usually buy for.
NEW STOCK ALERT!
BOSCH Filters now available at Sharma Auto Parts!
- Air Filters (all popular models)
- Oil Filters
- Fuel Filters
- Cabin/AC Filters
Brands covered: Maruti, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Mahindra
Introductory offer: 10% off this week!
Visit store or order here.
Reply with vehicle model for price!
Campaign
CAMPAIGN: New Stock Alert
TARGET: Contacts tagged "maruti" OR "hyundai" OR "honda"
MESSAGE: New Bosch filters + 10% intro offer
TIMING: Send at 10 AM on Monday
FOLLOW-UP: 3 days later to non-responders
How it works: Segment contacts by vehicle brand they usually buy parts for. A mechanic who services Maruti cars cares about Maruti parts arriving, not bike parts. Targeted campaigns get 3-5x higher response than blast-to-all messages.
Workflow tip: Tag contacts by vehicle brand at first purchase. This builds your segmentation automatically.

Seasonal Parts Campaigns
CampaignStarter+ $29
Push seasonal parts before the season starts - wiper blades before monsoon, batteries before winter, AC parts before summer.

MAY: Monsoon prep (wipers, lights, brakes, batteries)
OCTOBER: Winter prep (batteries, heaters, defoggers)
MARCH: Service season (filters, oils, belts)
How it works: Seasonal campaigns align with actual demand. Mechanics stock up before busy season, and you capture orders before competitors. Run these 2-3 weeks before season starts for maximum impact.
Workflow tip: Offer bulk discounts to mechanics in seasonal campaigns - they're stocking for multiple vehicles.

Review Collection Automation
SequenceStarter+ $29
After a smooth order delivery, ask for a Google review. One click makes it easy for satisfied customers to boost your online presence.
Hi Rajesh!
Hope the clutch plate is working well in your City!
Quick request - if you're happy with our service, could you leave a quick review?
[Google Review Link]
Takes just 30 seconds and helps other customers find us!
Thanks for choosing Sharma Auto Parts!
2 days after delivery
SEQUENCE: Review Collection
TRIGGER: Tag "delivered" added
DAY +2: Send review request with Google link
DAY +5: If no review, send gentle reminder
THEN: Tag "review-requested" to avoid repeats
How it works: Timing is everything - ask when the customer just received working parts and is happy. Direct link to Google review page removes friction. Even 2-3 reviews per week compound over time. More reviews = more trust = more customers.
Workflow tip: Only request reviews after confirmed successful deliveries. Don't ask unhappy customers for reviews.
