Fitment errors that erode distributor trust
When ACES and PIES data lives in spreadsheets and manual processes, incomplete or stale application records can lead distributors to order the wrong part and create avoidable returns.
Automotive Aftermarket
Keep fitment, inventory, routing, and core records aligned.
Automotive aftermarket manufacturers depend on reliable application data, account pricing, inventory, warehouse routing, returns, and core-exchange records across distributors and internal systems.

What We Fix
Where Automotive Aftermarket operations usually break down.
These are the points where useful industry systems often stop supporting the work around them. We trace the record, owner, decision, and downstream consequence before recommending a technology response.
Multi-warehouse fulfillment done by guesswork
Without routing logic, warehouse selection is based on who you call first or which rep answers the phone. The optimal node for cost and speed is rarely the one that gets the order. Shipping costs compound quietly.
Core exchange that finance can't reconcile
Manual core tracking creates discrepancies between what was exchanged, what was credited, and what the inventory reflects. Finance teams spend time reconciling instead of analyzing. Distributors lose confidence in the process.
What Gets Better
The outcomes Metrotechs designs around.
The goal is not more software. It is clearer work, dependable records, accountable exceptions, and technology the business can operate and improve.
Distributors order with confidence because fitment data is accurate
When governed ACES and PIES data moves from product ownership into distributor and commerce channels, buyers can make application decisions from a more current catalog and teams can trace corrections to their source.
Warehouse routing follows approved operating rules
When fulfillment logic evaluates inventory, carrier cost, and delivery time across all nodes simultaneously, the optimal warehouse gets the order without anyone making a phone call. Shipping costs decrease; delivery times improve consistently.
Core exchange is accounted for from sale to return
When core tracking is integrated into the order flow, finance can see deposits, returns, credits, exceptions, and outstanding liability from the same governed transaction history.
The distribution network scales without adding headcount
Distributors who can check real-time availability, verify fitment, and place orders without calling in require less support to serve. A distribution network built on self-service scales with revenue, not with sales and ops headcount.
Manufacturing Sub-Industry
Automotive Aftermarket manufacturers with system complexity hiding in daily work.
Metrotechs is a fit when the real problem is not one application. It is the handoff between records, approvals, production, fulfillment, finance, reporting, and customer commitments.

How We Approach The Work
Understand the current operation before changing the systems.
We begin with operating evidence, define the result and constraints, then sequence the smallest sound response. Launchpad is available when the work needs a governed Roadmap across multiple priorities.
Assess fitment accuracy, routing, and core tracking gaps
We analyze your ACES/PIES data quality, warehouse routing logic, core reconciliation workflows, and the cost of each gap to the business. Every issue is quantified before we recommend a solution.
- Fitment accuracy audit
- Routing efficiency analysis
- Core reconciliation review
Design the distribution operating model
We define how ACES/PIES synchronization, multi-warehouse routing logic, and core lifecycle tracking will work inside your ERP before implementation begins. Distributors, operations, and finance all work from the same model.
- Data integration design
- Routing logic architecture
- Core lifecycle model
Govern delivery against the design
We manage implementation against the agreed model, validating fitment accuracy, routing behavior, and core tracking reconciliation before each phase goes live. Issues surface in testing, not in production.
- Phased delivery governance
- Fitment accuracy validation
- Distributor adoption support
What We Review First
Start with the records and decisions carrying the most risk.
These areas help determine whether the right response is process clarification, data cleanup, integration, reporting, workflow improvement, a platform change, or a broader transformation Roadmap.
Fitment Data Accuracy Audit
Evaluates the completeness and accuracy of your ACES/PIES data against current product line and distributor application requirements. Identifies the specific gaps driving return rates.
Warehouse Routing Efficiency Analysis
Reviews your current fulfillment routing logic, warehouse cost profiles, and carrier performance data to quantify how much suboptimal routing is costing the business annually.
Core Reconciliation Review
Maps your current core exchange workflow from sale through return and identifies where financial discrepancies originate, what they cost, and what the correct control point is.
