SPACEMEN, INC.

Your Automotive & Aftermarket Parts Ecommerce Operations Team

Congratulations! You’ve hit $5M.

But to reach $50M, your ecommerce operations must scale with you.

We help ambitious automotive and aftermarket parts industry brands architect, build, and run operational systems that unlock sustainable growth.

Are you stuck in the “growth trap”?

If you nod more than twice when reading this section, we need to talk.

The CEO Janitor

You spend all weekend formatting PIES and ACES data files to get prices and fitments updated, instead of working on next quarter’s strategic pivot.

The Director-level Data Entry Clerk

Your Marketing Director devotes half their week to copy-pasting tech specs from vendor PDFs into the website.

The Sales Team Scavenger Hunt

Your inventory is ready to go, but your Head of Sales needs 4 weeks to extract PAdb attributes from scattered emails and spreadsheets to power the launch.

We talk with you, we see you.

Then we clean the data, write the code, and manage the operations that scale your business.

We fix this.

We don’t “consult”. We operate.

We don’t just give you a slide deck of recommendations and walk away. Or sell you software no one can use.

We leverage decades of experience in the automotive and aftermarket parts industry to build tools you’ll use to grow.

We can even stick around to keep everything running, if you need us to.

All for a cost that fits your stretched budget.

How we unlocked growth for Aldan American

The team at Aldan American was seeing strong growth in revenues, but they didn’t have much time to celebrate. 

They were spending nights and weekends wrestling with their product catalog – website updates and product launches took weeks, and required updates to almost a dozen spreadsheets that only certain folks had access to (or even knew about). They couldn’t onboard new vendors quickly because the process to export data was completely manual and had to be done from scratch each time.

The company was growing, but operations were stalling its momentum. This is how we helped.

Established Single Source of Truth

We built a new product information management system that consolidated previously scattered product data into a single source of truth. And because the PIM was built on Google Workspace, the Aldan American team needed very little training to start being productive.

Automated Drudgery

We replaced manual data entry with scripts that generate accurate, compelling product marketing copy and SEO-compliant product titles using technical attributes already stored in their database.

Expanded Marketplace Footprint

We built automated feeds that export their catalog data to syndicated marketplaces such as SEMA Data Co-op, eBay, and Google Merchant Center.

Synchronized Ecommerce

We integrated their new product information management system into WooCommerce with new, automated export feeds that synchronize the website and their PIM on a schedule.

Where we fit in

Expensive software that no one can use

Website that’s always out of sync

We fill
these gaps

Data that never gets cleaned up

Sales that feel just out of reach
