AU parts catalogs — shell today, partner punch-out later
MechanicDesk and Workshop Software win AU trust with native Repco Navigator Pro and Burson EzyParts. We respect that bar. Workshop Wrench ships a production-shaped AU parts driver shell (N61) with status connected:false — searchable catalogue behaviour for demos, not live partner HTTP or logo-wall Connected claims.
Problem shops feel
Parts double-entry kills RO speed: tech finds a part in a supplier site, then re-keys SKU and price into the job card.
How peers package it
AU peers list Repco Navigator and Burson EzyParts as native. US cloud lists PartsTech-class marketplaces. Our sequence: AU SupplierCatalogPort + mock/shell first, live drivers only after design-partner contract and health ping.
What works in Workshop Wrench today
- →AU_PARTS_DRIVER + stub adapter shape exists — GET suppliers/status reports connected:false
- →Catalog search / add-to-RO patterns use mock and normalised ports — not live EzyParts/Repco pricing
- →Inter-location stock transfer and on-hand reserve are Live core inventory — separate from supplier punch-out
- →Live EzyParts/Repco HTTP is gated (N61L): design partner + health evidence required
- →PartsTech is US later — never day-one AU marketing
- →No partner logos as “Connected” until remote health proves it
Can I punch out to Repco Navigator today?
No. Status stays connected:false. You can exercise search/shell behaviour in demo environments. Live partner drivers wait on contract and health.
Is inventory itself live?
Yes for core stock, PO/receive, and reserve-on-approve. That is operational inventory — not the same as a live supplier catalog integration.
Why not just paste competitor logos?
Because dry-run and shell adapters are not Connected. AU buyers already distrust logo walls. We publish Stub/Planned until the ping is real.
