Industry Partners

Building a real automotive eCommerce operation requires more than a developer — it requires the right ecosystem of data providers, distributor networks, and search technology working together.

Active Edge Commerce maintains active partnerships with the platforms and providers that power serious aftermarket Shopify stores. These aren't tools we've heard of — they're systems we deploy, configure, and optimize for clients every day.

ASAP Network

The ASAP Network is an automotive aftermarket data organization that provides dealers and retailers with standardized product and fitment data built on ACES/PIES — the industry standard formats for parts catalog and vehicle compatibility information.

For Shopify stores selling aftermarket parts, the quality of your catalog data directly determines your return rate, your search performance, and whether customers can actually find parts that fit their vehicle. ASAP-structured data solves that at the source.

What ASAP Data Enables

  • Clean, standardized fitment information across your entire catalog
  • Reduced returns from inaccurate part compatibility
  • Faster catalog deployment with less manual data cleanup
  • A foundation that integrates cleanly with fitment search tools like Convermax

How AEC Uses It

As an ASAP Network partner, we work directly within their ecosystem to ingest, transform, and deploy structured manufacturer data into conversion-ready Shopify catalogs — so your store launches with clean data instead of spending months cleaning it up after the fact.

Slingshot Automotive

Slingshot Automotive is a Shopify application that connects stores directly to warehouse distributors and catalog providers, automating the heavy lifting of parts loading, pricing updates, and inventory sync. Instead of manually managing thousands of SKUs, Slingshot handles the pipeline between your distributor and your storefront.

For aftermarket brands scaling their online catalog, manual product management isn't a workflow — it's a liability. Prices change, inventory moves, and new products drop constantly. Without automation, your store is always behind.

What Slingshot Handles

  • Direct integrations with major warehouse distributors
  • Automated catalog loading and product updates
  • Fitment-based filtering tied to incoming product data
  • Continuous real-time pricing and inventory sync

How AEC Uses It

As a Slingshot partner, we don't just flip it on and hand it over. We configure each deployment around the client's specific brand strategy — filtering the catalog down to the products that actually belong in the store, preventing bloat, and ensuring the data feeding your Shopify front end is clean, current, and built to convert.

Turn 14 Distribution

Turn 14 Distribution is one of the largest performance automotive distributors in North America, operating multiple distribution centers with real-time inventory data, API-driven product feeds, and dropshipping infrastructure built for serious online retailers.

For aftermarket brands that want to scale without warehousing inventory themselves, Turn 14 is one of the most capable fulfillment and catalog resources in the industry. The breadth of their catalog and the reliability of their data feed makes them a cornerstone of high-volume Shopify parts operations.

What Turn 14 Brings to a Shopify Store

  • One of the largest aftermarket parts catalogs in North America
  • API-driven product and fitment data for automated catalog loading
  • Real-time pricing and availability updates
  • Dealer dropshipping infrastructure for scalable fulfillment

How AEC Works With It

We build Shopify environments purpose-built for Turn 14 integration — connecting their API to your storefront, filtering their catalog to your brand's product strategy, and pairing their inventory feed with fitment search so customers find the right part without your team managing it manually.

Convermax

Convermax is a Shopify-native fitment search application built specifically for automotive aftermarket retailers. Where generic search tools fall apart on complex parts catalogs, Convermax is purpose-built for Year Make Model lookup — connecting to your existing fitment data sources and surfacing only the parts that actually fit a customer's vehicle.

For aftermarket stores, search isn't a nice-to-have. A customer who can't confirm fitment doesn't buy — or worse, buys the wrong part and returns it. Convermax solves that problem at the search layer without requiring you to rebuild your catalog from scratch.

What Convermax Delivers

  • Year/Make/Model, VIN, and wheel & tire fitment search
  • Direct integrations with SEMA Data Co-op, CatalogRack by DCI, PDM Automotive, Turn 14, TecDoc, and more
  • Supports ACES file ingestion and custom data sources including spreadsheets and PIM exports
  • AI-powered search ranking that improves product discovery and conversion
  • Vehicle Landing Pages for SEO and organic traffic growth

How AEC Uses It

As a Convermax partner, we handle the full implementation — connecting your fitment data sources, configuring search behavior around your specific catalog, and integrating it cleanly into your Shopify theme so it feels native, not bolted on. The result is a store where customers find the right part fast, and your return rate reflects it.

Why Our Partnerships Matter

The Right Ecosystem Changes Everything

Most agencies will build you a Shopify store. Fewer understand how aftermarket data actually flows — from a manufacturer's ACES file, through a distributor API, into a storefront where a customer selects their year, make, and model and sees only the parts that fit their vehicle.

That's the system Active Edge Commerce builds. Every partner on this page plays a specific role in it:

  • ASAP Network ensures your catalog data is structured, accurate, and fitment-complete before it ever touches your store
  • Slingshot Automotive automates the connection between your distributors and your Shopify storefront, keeping pricing and inventory current without manual intervention
  • Turn 14 Distribution provides the catalog depth and fulfillment infrastructure that makes high-volume parts retail possible
  • Convermax puts that data to work at the search layer, so customers find the right part for their vehicle fast — and your return rate reflects it

When these systems are configured correctly and work together, the result isn't just a better website. It's a parts operation that runs.
