Or have a workflow check Awaiting Response each morning and email you the orders no supplier has confirmed. Page: https://fous.com/automate/partstrader Updated: 2026-11-12 Works with your own PartsTrader account. Fous is an independent product. ## What you can build on PartsTrader ### Get orders awaiting supplier response Reads the Awaiting Response tab of the repairer dashboard: orders sent to suppliers that are not yet confirmed, with each order's status. - Takes: Status (optional) - Returns: Purchase order number, claim number, supplier name, status ### List jobs ready to review and order Reads the Review & Order tab: jobs whose quoting period is ready to close, so an estimator can review quotes and order parts. - Takes: Nothing - Returns: Claim number, RO number, insurer, vehicle make and model, customer name ### Read the Parts Order Summary by Supplier Opens Reports, picks the Management category and the Parts Order Summary by Supplier report for a year and month, and reads its rows. - Takes: Year, month - Returns: Supplier, average margin, jobs, parts, orders, order value, returns value ### Mark parts as received Finds a confirmed order in the Order Confirmed tab by its purchase order number and marks its parts as received with the Received button. - Takes: Purchase order number - Returns: Purchase order number, supplier name, parts marked received ## Automate PartsTrader with a workflow A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use. ### Orders no supplier has confirmed, every morning Starts: Every weekday at 7:30 1. Get the orders in the Awaiting Response tab. 2. Keep the orders in No Response or Supplier Changes status. 3. Email you the list with purchase order number, claim number, supplier and status. ### Quote requests ready to close, sent to the parts desk Starts: Every 30 minutes on weekdays 1. List the jobs in the Review & Order tab. 2. Keep the jobs that were not there on the last run. 3. Post each one to your parts desk's webhook with claim number, RO number, insurer, vehicle and customer name. ### Monthly supplier summary for the shop manager Starts: Monthly on the 2nd at 8:00 1. Read the Parts Order Summary by Supplier for the previous month. 2. Have an AI step list the suppliers with the highest returns value. 3. Email you the rows and the summary. You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month. ## Once built, one call from your code Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get orders awaiting supplier response” would look like. Example request: ``` curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "method": "my.partstrader.us.com/get_orders_awaiting_response", "input": { "status": "No Response" } }' ``` Example response: ``` { "status": "completed", "data": { "orders": [ { "purchase_order_number": "RO-58213-1", "claim_number": "CLM-0417-2290", "supplier_name": "Northwind Auto Parts", "status": "No Response" }, { "purchase_order_number": "RO-58240-2", "claim_number": "CLM-0417-3315", "supplier_name": "Globex OEM Parts", "status": "No Response" } ], "count": 2 } } ``` An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request. ## PartsTrader’s own options PartsTrader's help center lists integrations, not an API you call yourself. Its PI Client links CCC ONE, Mitchell and Audatex estimates to PartsTrader, Nexsyis and ProfitNet connect as management systems, and suppliers can link OnPart, Hotlines, URG or OEC CollisionLink. Reports download by hand as Excel or PDF. | Option | What it covers | What it takes | | --- | --- | --- | | PartsTrader Integration Client (PI Client) | Exports estimates from CCC ONE, Mitchell Estimating or Audatex to PartsTrader, and sends ordered parts back with Export to Estimate. | A Windows application on a shop PC or server, installed and configured by PartsTrader's support team. | | Shop management integrations | Connects the Nexsyis and ProfitNet management systems to PartsTrader. | Nexsyis or ProfitNet as your shop's management system. | | Supplier integrations | Inventory quoting from OnPart, Hotlines or URG, and price matching from OEC CollisionLink. | An account with the integration partner, enabled with that partner or PartsTrader support. | | PartsTrader by hand | The six dashboard tabs from Parts Required to Order Confirmed, and management reports saved as Excel or PDF for one month at a time. | A PartsTrader username and password. | Read on November 12, 2026: [PartsTrader Repairer Integrations](https://help.partstrader.com/helppages/partstrader-repairer-integrations/), [PartsTrader Supplier Integrations](https://help.partstrader.com/helppages/partstrader-supplier-integrations/), [How to Access Repairer Reports](https://help.partstrader.com/helppages/how-to-access-and-use-repairer-reports/). ## Signing in to PartsTrader PartsTrader signs you in with a username and password, with a Keep me logged in option. With Fous you sign in once through PartsTrader's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in. ## Worth knowing - **Jobs start in your estimating system**: A job reaches the Parts Required tab after it is exported from your estimating system. You may need to click Import Now before Request Quotes. - **Closing a quote request is a step of its own**: A job moves to Review & Order when its quoting period is ready to close. You then choose Close Request & Review, or Extend 30 minutes to give suppliers more time. - **Supplier changes hold the order**: When a supplier changes an order, it shows Supplier Changes in Awaiting Response and you must review the changes before it moves forward. No Response means the required delivery date has passed. - **Order Confirmed shows 21 days**: The Order Confirmed tab lists confirmed orders from the past 21 days. Reports are chosen by year and month, and the Repairer Monthly Summary holds the data of all the other reports. ## More in Automotive: aftermarket and fleet - [Autossimo](https://fous.com/automate/autossimo.md) - [AutoZonePro](https://fous.com/automate/autozonepro.md) - [Burson EzyParts](https://fous.com/automate/burson-ezyparts.md) - [First Call Online](https://fous.com/automate/first-call-online.md) - [NAPA PROLink](https://fous.com/automate/napa-prolink.md) - [Nexpart](https://fous.com/automate/nexpart.md) - [Omnipart](https://fous.com/automate/omnipart.md) - [Repco Navigator Pro](https://fous.com/automate/repco-navigator-pro.md) - [Qapter](https://fous.com/automate/qapter.md) - [Mitchell Cloud Estimating](https://fous.com/automate/mitchell-cloud-estimating.md) - [Auto Integrate](https://fous.com/automate/auto-integrate.md) - [1link Service Network](https://fous.com/automate/1link-service-network.md) - [Decisiv SRM](https://fous.com/automate/decisiv-srm.md) - [WORLDPAC speedDIAL](https://fous.com/automate/worldpac-speeddial.md) - [CollisionLink](https://fous.com/automate/collisionlink.md) - [RepairLink](https://fous.com/automate/repairlink.md) - [partslink24](https://fous.com/automate/partslink24.md) - [PartsTech](https://fous.com/automate/partstech.md) - [SilverDAT](https://fous.com/automate/silverdat.md) - [ALLDATA Repair](https://fous.com/automate/alldata-repair.md) - [ProDemand](https://fous.com/automate/prodemand.md) - [ARMS Automotive Suite](https://fous.com/automate/arms-automotive-suite.md) Other industries: [Dealertrack DMS](/automate/dealertrack-dms), [Gusto](/automate/gusto), [Payapps](/automate/payapps), [MWI Animal Health](/automate/mwi-animal-health), [Meesho Supplier Panel](/automate/meesho-supplier-panel), [Infinite Campus](/automate/infinite-campus). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does PartsTrader have an API? Not one PartsTrader documents for shops and suppliers to call. Its help center lists integrations instead: the PI Client for CCC ONE, Mitchell and Audatex, Nexsyis and ProfitNet for shop management, and OnPart, Hotlines, URG and OEC CollisionLink for suppliers. Everything else is the website. ### Can I get PartsTrader reports without downloading them each month? Not from PartsTrader itself, where you pick a report, year and month under Reports and click Save as Excel or Save as PDF. With Fous, a method you build can read a report's rows and a monthly workflow can email them to you or post them to your own system by webhook. ### How do I see which suppliers have not confirmed my orders? Look at the Awaiting Response tab. Requested means the supplier has not reviewed the order yet, No Response means it is still unconfirmed past the required delivery date, and Supplier Changes means the supplier changed it and you must review the changes. ### Does PartsTrader work with CCC ONE? Yes. The PartsTrader Integration Client exports estimates from CCC ONE, Mitchell Estimating (UltraMate), Mitchell Connect and Audatex, and Export to Estimate sends the parts you ordered back to the estimate. PartsTrader's support team installs and configures it. ### Is Fous affiliated with PartsTrader LLC? No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own PartsTrader account, and a method reads and does only what that account can. Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of PartsTrader (PartsTrader LLC). The name is used only to say which system this page is about.
