Sell parts. We handle the catalog.
If you sell parts for ATVs, UTVs, motorcycles, or snowmobiles, PowersportOS handles the unsexy plumbing that's currently eating your team's time: fitment, catalog onboarding, dealer locator, stock sync, brand updates. Stop typing fitment data at midnight before the season opens.
The problem
The work that doesn't show up in your P&L.
You spent four days last month manually adding 80 SKUs from a new supplier to your Shopify store. Photos to download, descriptions to retype, fitments to look up, product titles to format. None of that work made a single sale. It was just table stakes for being able to sell at all.
Manual product onboarding per brand
Every new range means PDFs, image downloads, copy-paste sessions. Maintenance tax on every product, every revision.
Fitment guesses, returns, angry customers
"Does this fit my Sportsman 850?" Your YMM widget says yes but it actually only fits the XP submodel. Return goes back, customer goes elsewhere.
Stock kept in three places that never match
POS knows one number, Shopify knows another, your supplier knows a third. Real-world inventory drifts across all of them.
What your customers see
Your Shopify product page,
with PowersportOS data flowing through it.
Below: a Shopify product page powered by PowersportOS. Submodel-precise fitment confirmation, OEM cross-references, per-position installation notes, live stock from your own ERP, lifecycle awareness. The data flows from the central catalog and your stock-feed; you do not curate any of it by hand. Same theme handles dealer map, reseller stock locator, multi-image gallery, catalog browse, manual-archive lookup off the same data layer.

Powered by PowersportOS
fitment
Submodel-precise.
Not "fits Polaris RZR". Fits 2021 Polaris RZR XP 1000, validated against generation, model, year, submodel. A part for the Turbo variant does not show on the base-model page. Customers never see a part their machine cannot mount.
OEM cross-reference
Mapped to OEM numbers.
Every aftermarket part carries its full OEM cross-reference list. Customers searching by their dealer-provided OEM part number find the aftermarket equivalent on every storefront in the network, not just the one that happens to have the same SKU.
installation notes
Per-position fitment data.
"Front axle, pair, requires brake bleed kit B-204." The fitment data carries position (front / rear / left / right), quantity required, related tools, torque spec references. You never re-write this; brand publishes once, every storefront gets it.
stock + lifecycle
Live stock, lifecycle aware.
Stock from your own warehouse, refreshed from your ERP or stock-feed. Lifecycle status (current / superseded / discontinued) inherited from the manufacturer; customers see "replaced by part X" instead of a broken catalog entry.
What you get
A complete operating layer for your store.
PowersportOS isn't a fitment widget. It's the data, integration, and tooling layer that makes the whole store work. The Shopify theme is bundled. Hands-on onboarding wires it to your store. The customer portal is where you manage everything.
Central catalog, your prices and stock on top
Subscribe to a brand (Alphatrac, Veltrim, Norvell, Hexvanta, Stratoma, Polvex, more as we onboard them) and every part with photos, descriptions, manuals, fitments, weights flows into your catalog automatically. You add your price and stock. Nothing else. New SKUs the brand adds later auto-appear.
Proprietary parts you sell yourself (own service kits, custom builds, branded merch) live in your private space alongside the central catalog. Same YMM widget, same product pages, you control the data.
Submodel-precise YMM that actually works
The Outlander 1000 X-MR and Outlander 1000 XT are different vehicles with different fitments. PowersportOS knows the difference, and so will your customers. Year-range support, generation awareness, OEM cross-references for "is this the part I need?" verification.
Embedded as a Shopify section in the bundled theme. End customers narrow down by year → make → model → submodel → only see parts that actually fit.
Store locator that doesn't suck
Pin your physical dealer network on an interactive Mapbox-rendered map, filterable by country, with full address management. CSV import with automatic geocoding for bulk uploads. Embedded directly in your Shopify theme.
Active/inactive toggle for seasonal locations, country dropdown that auto-aggregates by ISO-correct name, real coordinates on every row.
Stock sync with the system you already run
Stock data flows into PowersportOS through /api/integrations/stock-feed (API docs). Push from your ERP, POS, WMS, or a small cron that reads Shopify's Admin API on whatever schedule suits you. Idempotent, retry-safe, X-API-Key authenticated. Bulk arrays, batched however you like.
Onboarding sets up the wiring so you don't write a line of code yourself. After that the pipeline runs unattended and the portal shows you when it last ran.
Push stock from your ERP, POS, or WMS into PowersportOS.

Content from brands you carry
Stop hunting through PDFs and supplier newsletters.
Every brand you carry sends you updates somewhere: new SKU drops in their dealer-extranet, sales-stops by email, MSRP changes via the distributor, safety recalls in a PDF nobody opens. Channel Communications turns that mess into one inbox in your portal, with the right amount of automation per kind. You stay in control of what lands on your storefront.
Brand blog posts auto-published to your Shopify
Subscribe to a brand's content stream, pick auto-publish or queue-for-review per source, and their blog posts land in your Shopify blog with the canonical URL set as a metafield. Solves the "we have a Shopify blog but it's been empty for 18 months" problem. No copy-pasting from supplier PDFs.
Product release digests, not every-SKU-spam
New-product announcements from manufacturers batch into weekly digests by default. You see "Alphatrac added 8 new SKUs this week" once, not eight separate pings.
Sales-stop and MSRP alerts where you'll see them
Non-safety operational news (price-list updates, supplier defect surfaced, temporary SKU unavailability) surfaces as a banner plus inbox row in your portal. Bypasses your category filters so you don't miss it.
Safety recalls reach you, every time
Force-delivered with a persistent red banner across your portal until an owner or admin acknowledges, plus email to your technical contact. 48-hour acknowledgement SLA per the Channel Subscriber Terms. The forensic trail (who acknowledged, when, IP, user agent) protects you in any post-recall audit.
Edit or decline before it lands
Authors set how much you can change before publishing: LOCKED (publish verbatim), MINOR (regional customisation only), FULL (rewrite as you see fit, your edit stays local). Decline a non-safety post and it never touches your storefront; recall acks are mandatory.
Not on Shopify? Adapters coming
The v1 adapter writes to Shopify Admin (blog articles). WordPress, generic webhook, and intranet CMS adapters plug in via the same interface; we build them per real customer ask rather than speculatively. Architecture
B2B angle
Selling to other businesses?
Many of our founding retailers do both retail and B2B. The Shopify theme + PowersportOS combo handles both: same product data, the same fitment widget, with different pricing and customer experiences per audience.
B2B pricing tiers (on the roadmap)
Separate price lists per customer group. Already in the data model, exposed in the customer portal once a first customer asks. Bulk-discount logic, login-gated catalogs, the standard B2B set.
API-first for serious customers
If your B2B customers want to integrate against you (regular bulk orders, EDI-style flows), our API is documented and stable. They consume from your catalog, you consume from PowersportOS, it all chains correctly.
