Data preparation: TecDoc, HSN/TSN and manufacturer data

The most demanding part of a car parts shop is rarely the design. It is the data. Parts come from TecDoc, from manufacturers, from wholesalers or from your own inventory management, and every source supplies them in a different format. We bring this data into a form that Shopware and the vehicle search can work with. Whether data sets from TecDoc, HSN/TSN, KW, AP, ST, Schmidt, BBS or a tuning file database: we take care of the preparation.

TecDoc and Shopware: parts data and vehicle assignment

TecDoc data contains items, vehicles and the links between them. We import it, match it against your item numbers and create the vehicle assignments in Shopware. This becomes the vehicle search, and the product page shows the list of matching vehicles. You decide which parts from the data pool you actually sell. We only import what belongs in your product range.

HSN/TSN and KBA numbers

For the search by registration document to work, every vehicle in the shop needs its key numbers. We link HSN and TSN to the vehicles from TecDoc or from the manufacturer data. If a source only supplies model and year of manufacture, we match it against a second source so that in the end every combination points to the right vehicle.

Data sets from KW, AP, ST, Schmidt and BBS

Many manufacturers supply their own data sets with items, prices, images and vehicle approvals, for example for suspension from KW, AP and ST or wheels from Schmidt and BBS. We prepare these files and merge them with the remaining data so that a vehicle does not appear three times in the shop under slightly different names. If the data comes as CSV or XML, we build a fixed import. If there is an API, we fetch the data directly.

Importing and maintaining large parts catalogues

A one-off import is not enough in the automotive trade. Prices change, stock levels change and manufacturers add new vehicles. That is why we set up imports that run regularly, only transfer changes and log every run. How we build such synchronisations is described under custom integrations. If you are moving from an old shop system, we carry over items, customers and assignments via data migration.

Wherever your data comes from

TecDoc, manufacturer CSV, supplier feed, inventory management or the Excel list that has grown over the years: where your item data comes from is secondary for us. We prepare it so that it works in the shop, for consumers in B2C just as for garages and retailers in B2B with their own prices, customer groups and tiers. Our references further down show that this holds up in practice.

Tuning data: performance databases on websites

Tuners rarely sell a product off the shelf. They sell a performance upgrade for a specific vehicle. A tuning database on the website answers every prospect’s first question: what will a remap do for my car?

The visitor selects make, model and engine and sees the performance figures in hp and Nm before and after the remap. From there they go straight to the enquiry, with the selected vehicle already filled in. The figures come from your tuning file or performance database. We connect it via import and make sure new vehicles appear on the website without manual work. For MS Motorperformance we built a tuning configurator that lets customers calculate the performance gain using their vehicle data.

Websites for car garages and tuning companies

Not every business needs a shop. A garage needs a website that explains its services, builds trust and makes it easy to request an appointment. This includes dedicated pages for services such as inspections, paintwork or insurance claims, a clear mobile layout and the technical groundwork for local search.

For smaller businesses we build websites with Modiva, as for TRUPP KFZ-Service in Bargteheide. Tuners with their own parts range get a website with a shop or a shop with content pages. All options, from a package to a bespoke website, can be found under website development.

Our references by area

The following projects show what the areas above look like in practice.

Online shops for parts and accessories

• Fahrwerkonline: Shopware 6 shop for suspension and tuning parts from manufacturers such as KW, ST and AP. Customers select their car or search by HSN and TSN. We migrated the shop from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6.
• FOX Exhaust Systems: official shop with vehicle selection from the make down to the matching rear silencer, with certificates and a partner finder.
• HG Motorsport: Shopware 6 shop for exhaust systems, downpipes, intercoolers and body kits with a parts configurator by manufacturer, model and engine.
• ML Reifen: Shopware 6 shop for tyres, wheels and complete wheel sets.
• Schmidt Felgen: Shopware shop with a 3D wheel configurator in which customers can see wheels virtually on their vehicle.
• Sportauspuff24: shop for sports exhaust systems with quick selection by vehicle.

Data preparation and import

• FOX Sportauspuffe: Shopware 6 shop with dedicated imports for data from FOX, Bastuck, E-Exhaust, HG and Ulter.
• ML Reifen: integration of tyre and wheel data and vehicle assignments via custom Shopware extensions.
• HG Motorsport: custom integration for the shop.

Tuning data

• MS Motorperformance: website with a tuning configurator. Customers enter their vehicle data, see the performance gain and request a quote directly.

Websites for garages and tuners

• TRUPP KFZ-Service: website for a master car garage in Bargteheide, built with Modiva, with service pages and appointment requests.
• Turbo Concepts: Shopware shop with a custom design and product filters for the car tuning company Turbo Concepts.

Why Shopware for a tuning shop

A tuning shop built with Shopware has an advantage that counts in day-to-day business: vehicle search, imports and shop logic can be cleanly separated from the core system as plugins. Shopware updates therefore remain possible without having to rebuild the vehicle search every time. Our own extensions, such as the category quick selection by manufacturer, series and model, already run in several shops in this sector.

To get started, all it takes is a conversation about your product range and a sample file of your data. This quickly shows us how much preparation is needed and what the vehicle search in your shop could look like.
