Frequently Asked Questions

How does the vehicle fitment engine work?
The fitment engine uses vehicle identification data (year, make, model, trim, engine type) to cross-reference product compatibility databases. When a customer selects their vehicle, the system automatically filters product catalog to show only compatible items, reducing incorrect purchases and support costs.

Yes. The platform offers extensive API access and pre-built connectors for major ERP systems like NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics. AiDOOS helps design and implement custom integrations that synchronize inventory, orders, and financial data in real-time.
What is the typical implementation timeline?
Standard implementations take 8-12 weeks depending on catalog complexity and integrations required. AiDOOS accelerates deployment through pre-configured automotive workflows, reducing setup time by 30-40% compared to standard Shopify Plus implementations.
